I have one of those in my garage

Stick with the white car. Both black and white have the clean from afar, dirty up close issues, but you won't leave fingerprints on the white car every time you touch it, as it melts part of your skin off. My kids liked the car until the first time they burnt there hands on it. Even on a nice 70 deg day, I've burn my hands mid day on the painted metal surfaces. Now they want nothing to do with it. It also won't make the air conditioner work as hard compensating for the additional heat it absorbs.

If I had it all to do again, I would not have bought the black Miata, and would have found a different color.

I'm barely slower than BS, and I'm on street tires. So, I have a better/stiffer suspension, but less grip overall. Is it more fun to wallow around on sticky tires, or have a stiff, precise car that you have to drive on a fine edge?

It's called Street Prepared where you get to have both grip and good suspension! Peters won in an MX-5, why not come on over?!

It's official, the car is a total loss, Inspection paperwork going in the system today.
Adjuster getting to me on Monday or Tues.

There wasn't much doubt. Good luck with the negotiation.

In talking to Christine, Tom goes weekly to the location where my car is at to buy salvaged cars.
It will be on his menu next thurs. for auction possibly if I complete the negotation in time.

I most likely won't buy it back, unless Tom has more ideas how to work this for some advantage.

Hey K'Mo, better line up something with Tom !!
