Subject: [Leica] OT: Which car to buy...

Miata.  They are actually quite reliable from what i have heard, that and 
I'm not much of a Toyota fan after driving a Toyota RV through the 
California mountain trails several years ago, terrible brakes and not so 
precise steering.  Buy a Land Rover instead of the Toyota if you want an RV.

So imagine you have a budget of $12K-$17K for a used car, probably around
2004-2007 vintage.

Imagine a quick, responsive, air in your hair driving experience of a Mazda
Miata, taking confident turns on the Route One highway along the coast. Your
trust Leica and XPan in the truck with a carbon fiber tripod.

It may not do so well in Death Valley? Or may be the dusty desert of the
Southwest?

Then imagine a reliable, carry everything and anything Toyota Rav4. Small
for a SUV and drive like a car, and it's a Toyota, it will last another 10
years, easily.

What would you choose?
