LOL-Right you are!
MIATA-like 'me oughta get a real car!'
It's just all too perfect for me! I was telling one of the guys at the Triumph
club meeting that my friend Maurizio won't go anywhere in my car-he always
thinks he won;t get to where he's going or get back! The Triumph guy says well,
it's a sportscar-where's the sport in always knowing the car will get you
there-and back!
All I know is that a real sportscar is one where after an hours drive, when you
get out of it, you feel your kidneys fall back into place. *That's* a *Real*
sportscar! You don't get that feeling from a Miata!
