Thanks, Geo. But I should have added -- not that heavy and not<br>
expensive. IS300 = 3 series clone w Toyota reliability. I've driven 3 or<br>
4 BMW E36 M3s [and a Z4 and E39 530i] and wasn't as impressed as the car<br>
mags and others would lead you to believe. And BMWs are OUT because<br>
they're too fu****g stupid expensive to maintain.<br>
Miata = stupid fun slow go cart but not good daily driver. Wondering if<br>
there was something in between I was missing. Can't afford something new<br>
at the time. -w<br>
