Help me decide: MX-5 PRHT or BMW Z-4

I shouldn't write when I am tired - I know what I want to
say, but sometimes it doesn't come out as I meant.

What I should have said is, "More Miata owners than Z-4
owners play with their cars, adding accessories and
performance enhancing modifications and some even
participate in autocross & track days".

My assessment for Herm still stands. Money aside, if you
want a daily driver and are concerned about space and a
comfortable ride, pick the Z-4. If comfort and space are
secondary to the fun of driving, pick the Miata.

Sorry for the confusion...

Heh, don't let that stop you. I never have. ;-)

That would have left me with nothing to argue about about,
where is the fun in that?

Absolutely.
