That makes no sense at all. What does a retractable antenna have to do with the LSD?

I had the LS package, which came with dead cow skin, Bose audio (rocks), 15" rims, body kit, and typically ridiculously ineffective fog lights. It took more than a month to locate one with my other preferences--no ABS and an LSD. I recall the LSD and ABS are standalone options. I'm sure to within machine epsilon the retractable antenna came with the LS package.

Basically.. I think it's just the total base ones that have no power antenna. also base when they have no LSD. I can check the miata.net page when I get back from the hospital. 99% sure I've seen cloth seat with retractable antenna.. but this all might have been when I was researching NA miatas a few months ago.

Right now I'm in an effing Malibu, and no not the shockingly not horrible new gen.

wrx wagon but without the ugly and with completely redesigned aluminum front suspension and suprisingly upscale interior.. the black and white leather looks AMAZING even though I hate leather

Yeah, cruising eBaymotors, I can't conclusively tell. Some NBs have antennas up, some down, and none of them list the LSD as an option. But the LSD is something a lot of owners would probably just forget about and not list.

Sorry to crap up your thread.

Oooh! 9-2x. I like. Also has the STI's faster steering rack!

I'm thinking about selling my Miata...if you were a little closer, I'd let you test drive it. :)

! that's very nice, and I can only assume it was well maintained and driven hard all the time :)

Is the supercharger nice and low boost?

I've never been outdoors west of Pittsburgh (totally serious).

my insurance company is going to give me like $5 for my car (realistically I don't expect over $4000) so yeah.. who knows if I can get anything over a junker.

macdaddyslomo November-26th-2007 10:34 PM

go with the saabaru...i was VERY seriously considering one, before i got the focus, it just wasnt going to work with what i needed with financing, and fuel mileage...even a linear is nice(non turbo) but the aero(turbo) is badass !

_Kansei_ November-26th-2007 10:45 PM

Considering what I'll get for my car if it's a write-off the saabaru won't happen. I'll be lucky if I can find a second gen protege that runs for $4k. No way can I finance.. no job until ~ september.

I don't know what they'll give, I'm just guessing. Either way.. no matter what they give me, it doesn't even pay for half of a stock Protege5 so basically if my car is totalled I'm going to have to drive some junker after pouring my heart, soul, and hard-earned money into my Protege --all because some idiot didn't get the memo that traffic was completely stopped and had been for a WHILE.

If it isn't totalled, I'm also screwed because my carfax report will show that the car was in two serious accidents, the car is rusting, etc. No one would buy it after seeing the carfax, no dealer would take it as trade because of the mods (obviously I would go 'back to stock' but it would take many weekends of work to do so)..

why not take what they give you, then see if they'll let you have the car cheap...most ins companies are just going to take salvage value for the car...then use the money you get to repair the car...looks like it just needs a couple of bumpers from the pics you took...
