I saw the MR2 Spyder at the auto show-not a bad little car with all it's 150
hp. From the inside, it's comfortable, guages all arranged well-and a better
range of vision than the Miata. In the Miata, the post really blocks center
left vision-sort of annoying.
I also checked out the Honda S2000-whoa! That's a little beauty. ($30k worth of
beauty.) But, they wouldn't let anyone sit in it. I did cruise with one down
Pacific Coast Highway the day before-I think they were as curious about me and
Nigel as 'we' were about them!
The only other spyder I saw at the show for *around* $25,000
was the Mitsubishi.
Laura G. and Nigel (of course) reporting from the L.A. Auto Show (Didn't anyone
else from the list in the area go?)
Vita brevis est: rapide agite, vigore strigate!
