Johnny Finally did something

[Johnnymac]

Congrats!! I think you'll enjoy tossing this thing around! Like they always say, it's more fun to drive a slow car quickly than a stupid fast one

And I did guess Miata in my first post, but when I thought more about it I figured RF because you said winter driven as well

Exactly, and yes you too mentioned Miata earlier, just circled back and refined it to RF after reading about the winter driving.  Great guessing.

Awesome! Congrats, I'm sure you'll have a fun summer this year.

Congrats! Solid choice, I too prefer the RF over the standard ragtop, should prove to be tons of fun. Two seats and a light topless car is still the best formula for pure on road fun.

Thanks guys, this was a long time coming and I'm happy it worked out.  First "open top" vehicle for me, so we will see if I get addicted to the experience.

I love open air motoring.

2 targas, 3 convertibles.

I'm sure you'll love it too.

Honestly, I know I picked a little on you with that pic earlier, but I really plan on having something like this in my driveway sometime in the not too distant future. 

I've never driven on, so I really hope I fit.  I'm 6'1", with a longer torso.

Ha, I expect to get ribbed a bit for the choice.  It's not the "manly" choice and "normal" people won't get the appeal.

I'm not exactly a small man either, I am around 6 foot tall, maybe even 6'1 on the high end.  I'm broad and muscular and around 205lbs.  I fit okay, sure if I was like 4 inches and 50lbs smaller I would fit perfect but that isn't what God blessed me with.

I think you will have to drive one before crossing it off, you could fit just fine.

Cool choice.  I like it.

I'd probably recommend against getting a lighter flywheel/clutch package though, I did this once on my 911 and it was nothing but a PITA.  Leaving from a stop was harder, trying to drag race was impossible, shifting wasn't really improved.  No real gains, maybe some imperceptible gain in lap times at a track, but not worth it.

Agreed. Especially with a 4 banger.
