Nonsense, anyone with a chainsaw can fix leg length.

Yes, that's true. But it does leaves nasty stains on the carpet and seats.
Although I imagine with the correct upholstery and carpet color, they
wouldn't be as noticeable. <g>

The '93 LE might be a good choice.

Don't know about the LE - isn't it difficult to get blood stains out of
leather? And yes, the blood will match while it's fresh but I'm concerned
that it will be too dark after drying to continue to match.

Britney has a Miata? Is that what the kid was caught driving awhile ago?

Yes but nobody can catch them because they're so fast.

I'd have thought they'd be fairly easy to catch, since the viscosity is
likely pretty high...

Another important factor is how close you prefer to be to the steering
wheel & pedals. I'm 6'2" w/ a 32-34" inseam and I feel like my 94 was
custom-made for me. I don't even have the seat all the way back. If I
put my hands at 10&2, I have probably about a 50 deg bend at the elbows.
My knees also stay "comfortably" bent. This is the most comfortable to
me, tho most people, it seems, would considder this cramped.

I will concur w/ XS11E tho, the newer models don't fit so well. A friend
of mine has an 06, and if I adjust his seat to how I have mine, my right
knee presses up against the dash and my head hits a crossbar in the top.
Moving the seat a notch back and leaning it a notch back gets around
this, but I don't know if I'd every be as comfortable in a new one as I
am in mine.
