I have always had sports cars. My first car was a rolled over Austin Healey 3000. Then I had a
(new) Porsche 914 for many years. After a short, stupid break, I had a couple of RX-7's.

Now I am older (too old!), but my memories of the 914 make me want to buy another one.
Prices are not very high, butI am not sure I have the skills (welding mostly), strength,
or patience any more to keep one running. It seems like my choices are that or a Miata.

So, my question is, how does a 914 compared to a Miata, drivingwise? Are they comparable,
or very different? I loved the Porsche, but couldn't keep it running, especially
living in apartments. I want to enjoy that feeling again
