You say Miata, I say Potato. (No offense to Miata owners but I thought it'd be cool to have a license tag MX5 NOT.) Hey Todd, what's up? Probably because it lets too much of the AC out. Nutria! Yummm

Here in sunny/smoggy Orange County there are ~364 perfect, sunny, top-down days a year and swarms of Miatas, 99% of which exibit the top up syndrome. I have taken to calling them Youautas, as in: "Yo

Living in Miami, I considered installing A/C in my 80 B but then I decided not to because I realized I'd probably end up a Youautas. The only time I envy the Miata owners is in the dead of August, wh

Can you put AC in an MGB? I had never even considered it possible. When did this become available? Can you retrofit a '69? Andy Ramm '67 Midget --Original Message Follows-- Living in Miami, I conside

It was a dealer installed option. I've heard a lot about kits but have never seen one. I have seen original A/C units.

Tale of the Miata versus the MGB: I guarantee you that in cases like this it is usually the driver's fault and not the car's. A good driver in a bad car will beat a bad driver in a good car any day o

Sounds to me like good drivers buy MG's (or rent Tempo's) and bad = drivers buy Miatas; assumingly to make up for their poor driving = ability. :) -- From: = gerry@hostel.lincroftnj.attgis.com[SMTP:g

There's one answer that would make sense; last time I heard, a new top for a Miata cost about $1000. So you want to save wear and tear on it by leaving it up. More likely, though, it is that the air

20:1 it was the driver and not the car which was the problem. Any stock miata will out-accelerate and corner a stock '79 B with the same drivers. -Matt

I usually try to avoid the "my car is better" threads, but Midget owners have been fairly silent on this one. I suspect that you could get a much cheaper new car (than a Miata) that would out perform

I agree, Miatas are OK, but I usually snicker when I pass one on the road (usually with its top up). I can't remember the last time I even thought of latching the top. I'd rather drive my '67 Midget,
