READ THREAD BEFORE VOTING
So I've been scouring the internet for quite a while now and have decided that I want to get one of three projects for the garage. A first-gen Mazda Miata, a 1992 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 (AWD), or a Nissan 280Z. Now with each of these comes their pros and cons:
Mazda Miata
Pros:
- Cheap to buy
- Cheap to repair/mod
- Fun and easy to work on
- Massive community and wide range of aftermarket parts
- Pop-up headlights
Cons:
- Lacks power without turbo

If there's anything that I missed, I would be glad to hear it. And if you have any other projects in mind, let me know please.
