That was REALLY funny! Had me laughing out loud.
I've heard that Miatas have a Y2K bug which would also make them
terrible cars for Mark Daddio, John Thomas, John Ames, and several
other people.

Brian, don't listen to John. Now that you're in the working world, I can
tell you that a Miata is probably the WORST car you could ever own. They are
so bad, I can't even possibly get into all the reasons why they are bad on
this list. Plus, Brian, they are SO not you. Get a job, and get a Corvette.
That's the advice I wish I had followed long ago. Do not get a Miata,
especially not Byron Short's. You would be miserable.
