What did you trade it for? a Silverado?

Personally, Nissan Titan SE (w/ tow package, of course), Nissan Pathfinder, Nissan 350z

How I ended up with all the Nissans...who knows!

and just to prove Miatas are the best sports car out there. I auto crossed my 1989 (thats right 89) MX5 R spec from the Mazda(no AC, no PS, no power anything) for 5 years. In the last year it had 10 pounds compression in #4 and 40 pounds in #3, and I still took 3rd place over CSP class. Sold it to my brother who gave it too his kid, and he drove it for another 3 years with that effed up engine. :D My brother tore apart the engine, all the piston rings were broke, and it 3 burnt valves, and passed smog 3 weeks prior LOL.
