    Agreed. I like my cars small. If I ever become a gazillionaire, I will drive a Nash Metro converted into an EV.

      I will drive a first gen miata. Maybe EV converted or LS swapped. I love the little pop up and down headlights 🥺 they make me happy

        Ls engine is overkill !!! You ll spin tooo much and adding extra weight to thefront will fok up the almost perfect weight distributiom

        Even with a turbo. 350 hp is exagerated

        To each their cup of tea !!

          That’s fair, there are reasons why its a “maybe”. I’m not too worried about spinning though, its not a super uncommon swap for miatas so folks have given it a go before, and drifting seems like a blast. Currently drive a civic so I’ve not had the opportunity to try it

        They look cool, but they’re annoying when they get stuck. I had a couple cars with them through the years. Sadly, never a first gen Miata. I like them too.
