Me!

Kinja'd!!!

Somebody who has a sporty convertible (NC in my case), but is starting to feel old and wants something easier to drive and get in/out of that actually has a trunk and could fit, say, 2 people and a dog, yet doesn’t think they could give up the open air experience. It’s the ultimate compromise car and as I begin daydreaming about post-Miata life, years before it’s paid off enough to get rid of, I find myself actually kind of wanting one. If it was just about any brand other than a Nissan it would be a gimme, but I am decidedly not a fan of nissan, particularly in the reliability department. I feel like they trade in being a cheaper alternative to Honda or Toyota and people assume the reliability will be similar because JDM yo, but they suck and you get what you pay for. The current front runner is a Kia Soul turbo because I trust Kia a lot more and I’m hoping the panoramic sunroof would be enough, but this might be #2 on my sad list. Still beats a jeep.

It’s been a dream of mine to own a Murano CrossCabriolet in Caribbean Pearl since it was announced in early 2011. The day they became available, I got a brochure for it, which I keep in the plastic sleeve it came in to this day.

Well we have very similar taste then! My first brand new car was a mazda2! I dunno if I could pull off that color though, but I found a nice burgundy one with 40k for 18 grand near me. I just used to make fun of it like everybody else and loved dedoug’s review, but the other day i was behind one with the top down in traffic and thought to myself, “you know...... I think I get it now”

Followed by “oh god what have I become.”
