I'm not the responsible party.

Sad thing is, his other tow-capable vehicle is a Subaru, and the Miata is probably better suited for towing. Bigger brakes, more power, extra cool factor.

Was that from when he first bought it and towed it home?

Fun little parking lot. Plates look like Ohio.
i can not tell what the white car is but my guess is Subaru Legacy.

As much as I love wagons, those words do not belong in the same sentence.

I think only the Mini, Miata, FC RX-7, and XT-6 belong to the individual in question

It's an XT Turbo not an XT-6.

He's sold the Explorer and I think he sold the V40. Last I talked to him, someone gave him a deposit on the FC as well. Might be gone by now. Which is kinda sad, because I think the FC is the car that's been in his possession the longest. I remember helping swap Good Struts onto the thing four or five years ago. He swapped in a Series 5 engine after the original let go at Nelson Ledges and it kinda didn't run right after that, until we figured it out a year or two ago.

I got my third RX-7 from the same guy who previously owned the XT. (The black one is my fourth)

Yes, that's an XT GL-10 (4 cyl turbo) with blown pneumatic struts. The Mustang and Magnum belong to my neighbors and I just sold the RX-7. I am sad to let it go, but I haven't really been doing anything with it even since getting it running again and I have two other project cars (Mini & XT) that need attention as well...

But back to towing, the MX-5 did great and yes, the looks from other motorists were priceless! I even got 25mpg while towing.

I think the answer for the ideal 6 place car has been found.
