Input is greatly appreciated, fam.
I'm moving as quickly as I can, however there is no rush since I have transportation still right now.
I'm getting something along the lines of a fit, Sonic, Elantra GT, Mazda 3 because I want mpgs and I'm fighting the dumb urge to peruse pruises. With anything that gets about ~35-40mpgs thats about ~$90/month in gas savings over the Miata. It also has a roof, AC, Bluetooth, etc etc. you get the idea, it's a complete car. It would be great to compliment the Miata and keep my ass getting to work hassle free. And yes, low hassle is plenty worth the money.
As for the Miata, I haven't commented on it because I don't want to do the jb weld fix. I dislike the fact that it has to be done. It wasn't a slapped together mess and I don't want it to become one now. I want it to be a near perfect car, especially when it comes down to the mechanical stuff, but yet here we are. I'm going to talk to the shop and see if he's ok with using loctite 660 on it... I'll make him ok with using it. If it blows up then it goes to sit in a corner for it's wrong doing and have time out til I get a motor and swap it. If it works, then it works. I'd like to keep the Miata, it's fun and for the most part reliable compared to all it's fun car alternatives.
