So, as we are all Celica owners, we all have the same baseline perspective to build on. What do you as 6GCers think about the Mazda MX-5? Would you consider trading your Celica for an MX-5 (specifically the NB - 2nd gen), and if you did, what would you consider to be the pros and cons of trading to an MX-5?
Thanks for the input. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

Your mom's garage is so big- nah, never mind.
That one looks good. Like Noberto said, the top could set you back some. But it gives you an opportunity to buy a new top with a glass window so it doesn't get fogged up and you can't see through it. For the price though, you can't go wrong.
