I decided on the MX-5 using this formula

"40yrs old + no kids = Miata Life"

My requirements for a Miata were that it be new (because lease) and it had to have the sport package (Brembo's, Recaro seats, BBS wheels) and be in GS-P trim (LSD, Bilstein dampers, strut tower brace, BOSE sound system). I scoured Autotrader for months and found nothing that fit these requirements until I found this RF. I originally wanted a Soul Red Metallic soft top but I was unable to find one with the options I wanted. After seeing the RF in person I really started to like the way it looked both with the top up and the top down. The roof's folding process adds some extra theater and onlookers seem to think it's cool so I went with it, 99lb weight penalty be damned. In the end I didn't get a Soul Red but Mainlander White Metallic still looks pretty good!
