How many of us are moving from a Miata to a JL?

Is that your Punk'n?

If so, please post pics in the Show & Tell section :

We'd love to hear from you!

We all see colors differently which is why photographs of some colors more than others appear differently. Our different monitors and how they are calibrated also play a role.

Even with that however that is Firecracker red.

There will always be a Wrangler in my garage. Now I am attempting to squeeze another toy into the garage!!! Man do I like this color!

Doh! I think you're right.

It's been a long day staring at monitors. I need to get outside.

The Miata is an amazing car, it's just a very, very special purpose car. I've moved bigger things with a motorcycle than I can with my Miata. I bought mine after I sold my last motorcycle. I had stopped riding after having kids - something instinctive was trying to keep me alive.

A Miata is as close as you can get to a motorcycle experience in a car: loud as hell, dangerous in an accident, and still grinning from ear to ear constantly. Having air conditioning and heated seats is sure a plus, though. It's much less fun on the highway than a motorcycle though. At 70mph a Miata has no guts and is really loud and I feel like a bug waiting for a half-ton pickup truck to squash me. Still fun though.

Amusingly, the Wrangler is much more like the car equivalent of my last motorcycle than the Miata - I had an R1200GS.

I had a 2003 NB Miata a few years ago. One of the best manual transmissions you could buy. Love the pure RWD experience, no electronic nannies to correct your driving. Traffic circles are a blast. But the first time I hit a frozen bridge and went sideways, no fun. I do like the ND Miata though but I doubt they will be able to conquer the Rubicon without some serious mods.

I’ve secretly dreamed of buying myself a Miata for a little runabout. I’ve had many chances, and filled those spots with a plethora of other vehicles, and then regret it every time. Who knows, maybe as a retirement gift in a couple years And I’ll be over 40 by then, so mid life crisis car as well

I feel you! I've been driving an S2000 the last 10 years. I was thinking about selling which would have taken me from a loaded Sport to Rubi but the thought of getting rid of this car made me sick. A few days before I ordered my Sport a guy in a Rubicon pulled next to me and asked if I still enjoyed my S2K. I told him that I loved it but was about to purchase a JL and wasn't sure what to do. He said, "keep it! I had an S2K and wish I hadn't gotten rid of it". It seemed like divine intervention and my mind was made up at that moment. I've never wanted to fast forward 6 week or so this much ever.

I won't replace my "baby" with my Rubicon, but the truck will go...

I'm keeping my 2002 Miata, as well as my 2006 LJ Rubicon. I think the vehicles are like shoes, each with a different purpose. The Miata is a running shoe, does well on pavement, not so much on sand and rocks. The Jeeps are like hiking boots. For dress shoes, I have a loaded Outback, though that gets weird because it does well on ice and snow.

Crazy Offroad Miata - stock

With stories like ^ that one, I'm wondering why I even bought a Wrangler!
I could do Black Bear Pass in my ND!

35s work better on a Jeep than Miata:

I traded my ND in for a Jeep because my repaired shoulder and knee weren’t loving DD-ing the Miata:

They’re fantastic cars. I love them.

Same here! Love my Fiat Spider!

i had a 2016 mx5 when i was younger. My 700 dollar beater police cruiser crown vic was way more fun. The mx5 is a death trap. If you got t boned by a fat fuck on a e-bike youd probably die in the mx5.
