03-05 SW30 in Blue Mica nonetheless, I hate you lol2003 MR2 Spyder SMT (since 2020)
Nice Wheels btw, how's that damned SMT holding up in '24?
I've always wanted a 3rd gen....they really are go-karts with doors.

Thanks! The SMT has been entirely problem free. I changed the hydraulic fluid when I first got the car running in 2021 and again this last summer. I have a rebuild kit in case the seals start to go too. The unit is pretty small and just sits on top of the transmission, so it's pretty easy to reach. I've gotten better at driving it over time, and I get pretty fast upshifts out of it now.

Just picked up an NC3 Club 2014 very clean and STOCK! 
Seems like gotta always own a Miata! These NCs are actually the most comfortable a little roomier since based on the RX-8 platform, alum control arms, stiffer chassis, etc. Lightweight, light controls, perfect pedals placement for heel-toe, last of hydraulic steering, just so fun to toss around! Tons of upgrade potential, easier on wallet too!

How come I barely see any Evo’s on the road anymore? I used to see them as much as I saw the STI’s.2014 Evo X MR (since 2018)
2017 500 Abarth (since 2019)
2003 MR2 Spyder SMT (since 2020)
2022 MX-5 RF Grand Touring (since new)

Evos sold in smaller numbers to start with and STIs got a whole other generation after the Evo X ended in 2015. And people wreck them every winter because they overestimate the abilities of the car and underestimate the effects of crap tires.
