Hey guys, I've got a free garage spot and my car bucket list isn't getting any shorter so...
Thought this crowd would be a good place to put feelers out for a fun weekend driver. Top of my list consists of NA/NB Miata, AW11/SW20 MR2, maybe a nice Camaro/Mustang. I'm open to a lot, even oddball stuff like old Celicas or DSMs. Mechanical condition is worth more to me than cosmetics - I'd like something I can rip around in without much concern for reliability or maintenance, as I've already got a project car. A somewhat ratty car that someone refreshed for autocross would be ideal. I'm also partial to RWD.
Location: Houston, TX. Willing to travel to Dallas/Austin/SA.

"without much concern for reliability or maintenance" plus "fun" leads to an obvious "answer."

Still looking... someone help me forget the sting of already having missed a few nice cars.

I would look for an RSX-S. They are cheap to maintain and can easily make 220whp with bolt-ons and a tune.

In reply to AntiArrhythmic:
Really-really? Neat.
You can have all three of these beauties for $5k! Come get 'em! But, to get that price you have to take all three and pay in cash. Like... right now.

Maybe a bit outside your area, but for $2900, you could save some money and do a fly and drive for this nice Miata M-Edition

If you are open to some of the bigger cars like camaros and mustangs...I have been stalking Infiniti G35's. 4 door, manual trans, nobody wants them. $3500-$5k. Fits a different slot in the garage/bucket list but I figure if I've been considering a big cruiser for a weekend car, someone else might too. I don't know how they drive yet but it seems like they should be competent on track and back roads. Bit big for autocross.

Sorry guys, not looking for motorcycles, old SUVs, or bastardized Subarus. Bump?
