I own a 2000 Miata and a 1960 Bugeye. I dearly love LBC's and have driven
them for 30 years. There is a couple of things about My-Yata that stand out.
First, it starts first time every time, I think nothing of long trips with
no prep. Second, it will suck the headlights out of any stock spridget as it
passes.

Hmmm.. Must be a lot taller than me.. I don't remember the visor
at all! :-)
(Drove one for a week because the owner wasn't ready to give back
my ratty ol' '65 Mustang yet. :-) )
I loved driving the Miata, by the way. Only complaint was that I
couldn't keep a hat on. Wind curled over and came in from behind to
blow it off. I don't remember having that problem at all with my
ol' Midget.
This particular Miata also had lowering springs, Bilstein shocks
and good tires. :-)

(I also loved driving that Miata at an autocross and beating the owner.
Havn't driven it since though. Hmmm... ;-) )
