I've never heard of a miata referred to as a bad ass car. Yes, it autocrosses and tracks great, but it's always and forever will be a "chick" car or an enlarged go cart.

And it will be driven by a "chick". A teenage "chick".

It may change your mind.

These guys put 302 V8s in them, and they are Cobra eaters.

Now THAT'S fucking BADASS.

No, it's still a miata. Just a fast one. You can do what you want to it, still won't change the image. It's like a gixxer, it can be a freakin great race bike, but it's still a gixxer squid bike. I have seen some fast as shit miatas up at the gap. Still doesn't change my opinion of them. Name a sports car and I have pretty much seen a car club for it at the gap. That's the nice thing living so close, if I have interest in seeing a bunch of bikes or cars, I can just go up there and see an awesome collection of them all in one place.

Trip, at the end of the day - it's still just a road.

That's true. It's a sucky road, it's terrible. People on it are dangerous. Only idiots would think about going there. No one should ever ride or drive it. I advise no one to come to this god awful place.

Welcome to one of the best/worst times of you life!!!

Speaking as a mom who knows......get her a big ugly sedan with lots of sheet metal, antilock brakes and airbags and put her on her own insurance!
My hubby does insurance and if you don't want her mistake to follow you around as higher rates get your teens their own policy. It costs more up front but saves you in the long run.

That is a cute little car but it won't stand a chance against a SUV even with a role bar. Track is the safest place to learn but when you are against bigger vehicles little cars just don't hold up well. Teens make judgment errors and you want lots of car around them when it catches up with them.

I know, my daughter wrecked 2. She rode motorcycles/snowmobiles for years and still wrecked 2 cars. She is 21 and I still worry that I am going to get that call.

Good luck
