What could we possible do that would lessen the value of it?

Fair point. It's probably less about reducing the value and more about the embarrassment of having to drive whatever you people turn my car into...

Every time I think about keeping the Miata I get overwhelmed by the list of things that need to be fixed/changed to make it "worth" it to me...

Did you know that SEATS were actually OPTIONAL in the car when it first came to the States?!


How about a VW Thing? Not fast, not the most reliable "thing" in the world but cheap to buy, cheap and plentiful parts, has some character, seats 4 and you can drop the top.
