Hey, let's not trash the Miata, it's a fine car and has done a lot to
keep the "two-seater thang" alive. The reason I got a TR6 instead of a
Miata, besides the initial cost, is that the '6 has romance for me and
the Miata doesn't, even though it's a more comfortable, faster and
probably more reliable car. As I'm sure you all know, this hobby of
ours isn't about objective qualities like speed or ease of ownership,
it's about a sort of masochistic relationship we all seem to enjoy, so
who are we to point fingers? So what if Miata owners are lazy,
image-conscious poseurs - Oh, sorry! Really, I don't mean that - some
of my best friends are Miata owners... :-)
This is all in the spirit of fun, right? I mean, I have to get back at
Miata owners somehow for all the times they've whizzed past me on the
freeway looking smug. But you just wait until my OD conversion is
done! Then their little rear view mirrors will be filled with the
grinning visage of my snorting TR6, hovering for the kill - the
hideous mouth opens wide, the lips slide back on rows of razor-sharp
teeth and chomp! Got cha!!
Jim
