That is pretty awful looking.  It sort of looks like somebody put a miata pic
in a computer program and drew that stuff on there.  I saw another hideous
miata today.  Almost made the girl i was with run off the road when she saw it,
it was so shocking.  A red miata with double bright YELLOW racing stripes down
the middle of the hood.  yech!  it was at a car lot for sale if anybody is
interested (in knoxville, tn!)
