Advice
I need some help. I'm looking at possibly buying a new car. I started looking at the MazdaSpeed Miata because they are offering really good incentives to get them out the door. My hang up is on the whole look of a guy driving a miata. What would you guys suggest?

Put a rainbow sticker on the back and embrace it. 
On a more serious note, I've been really impressed with what some good drivers have done with stock or near stock Miatas on the auto cross course. They are a pretty nimble little car and I imagine you could have alot of fun with it.

I'd go for just a LS or a base model with the handling package(LSD, etc), mazdaspeeds are overpriced for the minimal gains over the base 1.8L You're a pretty big guy..... can you comfortably even fit in one?

The problem with miata's is no matter how fast they are or how well they handle, people still consider them gay guy's cars. So unless you only take it to Auto-x (where they appreciate them) or are not worried about all of Monday morning traffic thinking you're gay, I'd stay away from it.

BAH... just get a license plate frame or sticker for it that says "I'd rather be riding my GSX-R" and that'll fight off the "gay image"

They also definitely improved the look from this
