Well... probably one of my last updates to the forum... mazda is assembling my 2019 miata rag top and when its ready... gonna have to leggo my Eggo
Been one of the best car communities and forums i have ever been on, i mean it. I will miss the FiST greatly, but am excited for the trade offs on what I am getting. The FiST left me wanting from day one.. wanting an LSD, wanting a car that can handle texas summers while hooning, blah blah. I love Egg, but not enough to rationalize sinking another few thousand bucks in to make summer reliable and performance capable, just to be thrown out of the ONE class where it is remotely competitive. I never use the rear seats and hardly the hatch. Most of the time its me and my backpack. I have a POS explorer for lugging shit.
The FiST needed a lower CoG, diff, and a 2 door variant stateside, and a base brand that actually gives a damn about its enthusiast drivers. Mazda checks all the boxes for me.. was definitely more expensive, but resale should be better
That said, what should I be asking or expecting for a sale/trade in offer? My car was ~26-27k MSRP, paid way less. Has every option and some mods. Ill probably revert it back to stock before selling and recoup some parts value.
Anyways, its been awesome seeing yall on the road and across the country up in SLC. Ill be around and hopefully back in one of these in a few years when it wont be my daily, but a full on rally build. Im talking AWD electric baby
