Why does a friendly little car like the Miata inspire so much hatred? You'd think sports-car owners could think of more likely cars to hate. Just off the top of my head I can name five: 1) SUVs (all

Wait a minute now! On that SUV list you better be leaving off Jeeps (real Jeeps I mean, CJ/YJ/TJ)! Can't get much more convertable than that! Hell, even the doors come off. Oh, and as for the waving

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ With apologies to all of you who love your '74+ TR6's, I'd say this goes for all British cars with impact-absorbing bumpers. Those overriders are just plain hideous. I'm glad min

Actually, I think your list is missing a few notables.. 1) Any flavor of minivan (can't see around 'em, and most drive like idiots) 2) Pickup trucks with chrome bumpers (at night, it's like driving i

I agree with most of the original post, but I must object to the SUV's -- jeeps, real jeeps (like the first one I owned, a 79 CJ5 with modified exhaust) are *great*. I'm missing mine again -- has mu

Sorry, but I just can't work up any hate for pretty much anything on four (or two) wheels. Vive la difference! I started out riding minibikes -- mostly little Honda CT-70's -- now I have a Norton 850

I'm with you.. One of the first mod's I made to my '77 Spit was to swap the bumpers from a 71 GT6 on it. Got rid of the huge boobies on the front and picked up the much cooler license plate lamp on t

Yeah, my ex has a black Miata with an automatic and a hardtop. And if that isn't bad enough my alimony pays for it. To add injury to insult she tried to have the GT6+ sold during the divorce so she c
