Since the Celica blew a head gasket, I need a new beater for work, something with decent gas mileage. I have around 3k to play around with. I don't want anything too common like a civic/integra. I was playing with the idea of getting a miata, or an mr2, or maybe even another 6gc.
I would just toss 3k into a new motor/setup, but with gas prices the way they are, I can't seem to justify doing so at this point in time. Cliff notes: Miata vs MR2 vs 6GC -------------------- things happen for a reason.

If you find an mr2 for that price, it will most likely need money put into it..
