I do like Mini Coopers!

I like the 2.5RS...but not enough to go through the headache of trying to find a decent one. Don't like the EVO at all. As for the STI...the WRX wagon was intended as sort of a utility/performance compromise. Not sure I like the car enough...

One car? Honestly, the frunk on the Boxster put it in competition with the S2000 (both could hold a French Horn with no issue). Given that, maybe a Cayman. . .

Or a 1981 Chevy Citation. . . because it's harsh, but. . . well, it's harsh.

Yeah...one car. Don't have the budget or space for multiple cars. The Miata has been my sole car for many years now with little problem. Occasionally I have trouble figuring out how to haul my bicycle or some lumber...but I've alwas made it work.

I guess you could say I define practicality a tad different than most people. For three years prior to meeting Robyn, most of my friends never saw the top up on my car unless it was parked...rain or shine...

If I'm going with an underdog, I'll take a Cadillac Cimmaron...

I'm more a fan of the old school chiseled design...
