Oiling issue on the track.... took my motor today

I've driven all the 2018 MX-5's including club sport options. They are fun to drive as long as you are not claustrophobic or driving by a 18 wheeler tractor trailer.

They are no comparision to a 986S

My problem is that I just can't seem to get excited about them. They don't stir me, in any way.

It's sorta like when people tell me that auto-cross is fun: I just sorta smile at them and immediately categorize that person's "fun" threshold.
It's the same with the Miata. haha.

If you are 5'8" or smaller, Miata and Lotus are a barrel of monkeys. Much taller than that and they get tight real fast.

For the lowest cost track days in a reliable car find a used Toyota Corolla and hit the Lemons circuit. A ton of fun.

For a dead nuts reliable Porsche, go 2009 and later. All the weaknesses of the 1998-2008 cars have been engineered out.

You never know until you drive one. My street Miata was just as fun as my Boxster on the track, only it was a lot more worry free to thrash it.

I'm 6' 1", and fit in a Miata. Unfortunately, I've never had the chance to even sit in a Elise.

I am about same height and went to the lotus factory and dealer in England. Tried an elise on for size. Just say it fit but getting in and out was like sliding in and out of a tuna can. Lol
