Well not aiming for attracting so much as, "oh, that's cute". Or, at least not repulsion. After all nothing short of a used BMW would "attract" women, and by women I mean gold diggers. A friend offered me her '88 E28 5spd but I decided 20mpg highway wouldn't be too fun.

Trying to go look at a '93 SE-R, otherwise watching CL every day for a Miata to pop up. Found one today I was going to fast-track into ownership but turns out it just got sold.

Honestly I don't know if anything but an NA Miata will really make me happy. Trying to cull the herd to two cars (F100 and...) so whatever I buy has to be super fun and rather economical. And must look good with some rally lights

Edit, Probe price lowered to $600 as is, $700 without boat tail.
