Also, if you're looking for a cool car on a budget... it's not too hard to find a '98-'99 L with some wear and tear (just be sure the motor's not a pile). Slap the 2.5RS body parts on it. It'll look nice, and be in the $4000 price range. Then if you get the need for speed later on, dropping in a WRX drivetrain is a pretty well understood task.

But you have to be willing to put in the elbow grease. By the looks of that Miata you had, you've got the experience for such work... but if you're coming off a project car, you may not want to be getting right back into one.
