As quoted by the this list's most famous personage...

"Q. On my way to work today I saw 6 Miatas with their tops up. Why is that?"

"A. It is not well known, but the Miata isn't actually a convertible. It has
a fixed head, cunningly covered with cloth to resemble a convertible, like
many Lincoln Town Cars. Any you see with the top actually down are custom
conversion jobs."

- Ray Gibbons, 1938-1997
