Default What would you buy for < $10K

I want another toy. Since this will be a "toy" I have absolutely no practicality requirements. I just want something that I can enjoy or have fun with and take to the track every once in a while.

So what would you get with $10K to spend?

If you are wanting track use as well.

Miata. Stiff the hell out of it, add some sticky rubber and dart around!

Miata,
Get one for around $4-5k then have a lot of money for parts and mods.

Going back to the miata, drive it to the limit part everytime you add another mod to eat. Stiffen it up, then start adding HP mods. Add sticky rubber when it becomes too much to handle.

Go to the track, practice your driving skills and become a better driver in the S2000. You could also baby the S2000 and still do all the stuff you wanted in the Miata for alot cheaper price.

Me, probably an S13 240. Convertibles can make for serious issues at the track. Also, an S13 with an SR20 can be had for less than 10k, even if you build it yourself.
