Rig,

One of the things I have always loved about my Miata is
its affordability.  I have owned various Japenese GTs prior
to the Miata, and while they were all fun, they were so
expensive that it took much of the fun out of the ownership
for me.

My 1991 Miata costs about the same to insure as my 1990 Maxima
or my 1991 Previa.  In my case it is less because I list the
Miata as a pleasure vechile.  Tires, even the highest performance
versions available in stock size, cost less than good tires for my
other cars, and about a third of what they cost for my GT category
cars.  Gas mileage is great, 22-26mpg.

Hope that info helps.
