Never struck me as a MINI man.

Why not an RX-8? You could score a nice six speed for the same price!

I'm suprised you didnt launch off into a GTO tirade

[JackoliciousLegs]

Dammit! My cover's blown. Back to the batmobile!

I live in the city man... plus, I drove the RX-8 at the Mazda zoom zoom event, and sadly... it sucked. I had driven one before on the road and i was disappointed with the ride, the space i had, and the visibility, but it was no fun at an autox. Plus the mpg sucks and they're throwing CELs more often than Rosie O'Donnell gets PMS. What else should I look at in the under 20k sporty range? WRX? Bahh... maybe... it's just a little boy racer for me.

OOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

It's a little beyond what Jack wants to pay, and that's OK. Although he could probably score an LS1 one. I only said RX-8 cuz:

When I drove one at Zoom-Zoom I loved it and
Their prices are going down faster than RJ's mom.

mini's are awesome! how can you beat one in the city too, the perfect mini habitat

[JackoliciousLegs]

At zoom zoom, it felt torqueless and very prone to understeer. It'd be heavenly on track but I like small cars. What can I say? I loved the miata much MUCH more.

Was the TC on? Cuz I def scared Julie getting it sideways. But whatever, I just don't like Minis. Ick.

[JackoliciousLegs]

Nope, off on both. I didn't fit well. That was issue number 1. Same problem with the 3rd gens :tear:

But your beanpole ass fits in a Mini? Weird. I did forget that your an urban warrior, a Mini would be a pretty cool car in that environment, as much as it pains me to say.

What about a, er, uhm... Elise!

Yeah! That's nice and small!

[JackoliciousLegs]

Welll.... linky

I was about to say a Mazdaspeed Miata or something like that. Small, fuel efficient, drop some snow tires on it in the winter for some fun doriftoing 8)

I'd love one if I fit just a little more comfortably. :-(

[WRXtranceformed]

You could get an IS300 I found mine for 15k...

[JackoliciousLegs]

Good idea. Too bad they're all auto.

[JustinG]

GSX FTW......AWD, Sporty, Power

[WRXtranceformed]

Good idea. Too bad they're all auto.

Huh? Not so much =p

5 Speed IS
5 Speed IS 2
5 Speed IS 3

Those are all just within 50 miles from where I live. I'm sure you can find plenty that are within your price range near Chicago :wink:

About half of the IS's made in 2001 and every one after that had an LSD from the factory as well (mine doesn't). 8)

[CaptainHenreh]

More better than a Mini?

[JackoliciousLegs]

Good idea. Too bad they're all auto.

Huh? Not so much =p

5 Speed IS -70k miles... BOO
5 Speed IS 2 -60k ehhhh
5 Speed IS 3 -50k ehhh but $21k - booooo

Yeah... I guess. Maybe I'll drive one. I just didnt see any on cars.com near me (60657)

GSX FTW......AWD, Sporty, Power

read above about boy racer :-)

And the Mazdaspeed 3... still boy racer-ish. Dunno. Mayybe. good ideas though :-)

[CaptainHenreh]

I can't believe you're crying "Boy Racer!" and considering a Mini.

Girl Racer is better?
