Stop being a bunch of snobs. I own a Roadster for 22+ years and a Miata. I
love both of them and appreciate each in their own way.
As a matter of fact that happened to me 2x on my way to Robbie Harrison's
house in CT this weekend in my MIATA. One guy took out a camera and took a
picture of me and my car. And someone else came up to me and asked what
kinda car it was and gave me a thumbs up.
I get looks at my Miata all the time, especially from young kids who like
its looks and that the top is down. Passing a school bus is very cool as
they yell out at me and give me shouts and thumb ups and kids in cars I'm
following or passing give me smiles.
Some of you guys sound like some of the people in my MG club who believe
that the sports car world begins and ends with MG, except in this case it's
a Datsun Roadster. Get over it, there are lots of good sports cars other
than Roadsters.
Mike
