miatas are great cars but they are kinda slow. unless you put a jackson racing supercharger on top or even a turbo kit, i love miatas i almost got one 2 times but i figured im going to college and i cant carry much stuff in it but they are great cars

definately get a bike... you live in florida so it'll be something for year round... i'm looking at getting a 2004 honda CBR 600... you could get an older 2000ish bike with 15,000 miles and get it under 4K easy...

I'm confused, are you selling the GP to get another car or are you just getting another car to drive until you have the patience to fix the GP?

Im so indifferent towards the GP right now. Im getting another car for the time being until i can fix it, and then i might be selling it. Im really leaning towards miata's though.

This doesnt exactly fit into your price range, but I would take a Honda S2000 over a Miata.

Get a VW GTI, I love those cars and its turbo and it has a stick plus you get good gas mileage but its not a roomy as the gp but it a fast little rocket.

Get yourself one of the '96~ Preludes. I loved those body styles and they're good fun cars with a 5 speed, with great mileage and reliability.
Honestly, don't get anything Korean or European. Buying broken parts is expensive.
I know how you are though. I bought my Stratus so I could butcher the Grand Prix. It also had to be a stick so I could learn to drive one. I was originally looking for a stick V6 Stang. When that fell through I stumbled on the Stratus and found it was decently quick and sporty. I still have to smack my hands to keep from modding it though, but it's nice not to have to drive a modded car everyday that you have to keep a close eye on.

Don't forget the Miata is a coffin on bigger wheels!
