So I was just sitting around a few days ago and thought, "what the list
needs is another Miata thread.'
Whew!
I knew I married the right girl 20-odd years ago, but I had no idea she was

FIAT - Feeble Italian Attempt at Technology
For what it is worth, I like them too. X 1/9s are funky but handle GREAT.
All that they need is a little more power and they are AWESOME autocross
