New Miata (er, MX-5)

My '96 died, as I reported earlier. It was dying a slow death, then the
engine gave out. I sold the remains today. I suspect it will be junked. I
also suspect it would pay somone to put an engine into it. I just wasn't up
to it. Tomorrow, I'm flying to LA to complete the purchase of a 2004
Titanium Gray Mazdaspeed, 40K miles, with various FM upgrades, driving back
to Dallas. I toyed with getting a 2006 or 2007 Mazdaspeed6, or even a 2010
Mazdaspeed3 (they're just too bizarre looking) but in the end went back to
the MX-5. The only thing I'm a little worried about is whether the 6-speed
is too much of a pain in the ass in traffic.
