Hmmm, blue2000s, if I was a betting man I'd say your next car is leaning in the Exige direction rather than F355.

I am still resisting the temptation to put 18s or wider 17s and more negative camber on "your" car. I am also resisting the temptation to put R compound rubber on it ... not that the tires on it are anywhere near worn out yet, in spite of my higher rate of mileage accumulation. It drives so nice now, I keep reminding myself that it's not broken, so don't F#$@ with it.

You can help with this by asking me periodically how the Miata is coming.

Hey M - I never changed the wheels because I like the ride and handling better with the 17s. Plus 17s are cheaper for a very minimal performance increase if at all. Besides, I think once you have the Miata set up and you're using it, the urge will go away.
