Randal gives good advice. Same your nickels and dimes and get something newer and lower in K's.

Especially in CA. I can't take mine (2000 S) into the shop for less than $1000. You will quickly, as has been pointed out, far exceed the value of the car in repair costs. They are fun to own and drive, but go by a miata rather than a 97 boxster...
