Not me, I recently took the opportunity to "trade up" my 93 S4 into a
very nice 95.5 S6 Avant.  Very non-depressing!   I don't forsee it
becoming a pile of crap for at least 5 years..  :-D

Before that, I had got to thinking there really wasn't anything else
on the road (even 2000-2004 stuff that I might buy used in 5 years)
that I could get excited about owning (at least within what I want to
spend on the winter/road-trip/4-seat car category), so I figured
getting into a 3 year newer, 45k mile newer car (+ avant!) was a good
move even if it cost me a good bit.

In order to keep it lasting as long as possible, this Miss Piggy will
most likely never see a track , though it is tempting since it has the
"full treatment" (RS2/Stromung/BigBrakes/H&R/Bilstein/BBCCP, etc) and
is a very strong performer...   Perhaps one Q-Club event a year won't
be so bad and would give the Miata a chance to relax :-)
