Some time ago someone mentioned on the list that Miata drivers always have their tops up. I got to watching for this and found it usually to be true. I don't know if they are air conditioned but I've

I'm pretty sure that Miatas have AC fitted as standard. I got a good look at one up close the other day -- am I right in thinking that my B has more legroom than the Miata has? BEN RUSET http://memb

I followed a Miata out to beautiful Bodega Bay, Ca. today. Both windows AND top were up. The sky was clear, temperature about 75. Couldn't ask for better top down weather. Maybe they just can't remem

Hello Ralph: The late Ray Gibbons, who used to grace this list with his wit and acumen, once gently explained that the Miata really isn't a convertible at all. Rather, it is actually a fixed head pse

It's universal! As a matter of fact, take notice of the majority of convertables they all seem to drive with the tops up. Must be waiting for the nice weather or something. ...Art

Well, you'll find the same phenomenon here in PA - Miatas with the top up. The reason, I think, is pretty simple - hair and vanity. Dr. Doug (who could use some of the former on top of his head) Some

my mom recently bought a 95 Miata. she bought it with the top down, and hasn't put it up yet. maybe it's because she's dreaming of her 69 B roadster, but i doubt she picks her nose Amanda 70 B GT 73
