Boy, I don't know about the Miata, or at least the folks who buy them. This
past weekend it was NICE. Warm, sunny, with temperatures in the mid 50s.
I was really really wishing I had at least ONE of these doll-garn Tee Arrs
running[...]
I saw two new Mazda Miatas. They BOTH had the tops up.
Sigh.

Well, ya can't generalize from two drivers, now, can ya. I for one know of
one or two owners who can't get enough of driving with the top down at any
opportunity over 40 degrees F - Bell's Palsy be damned! :-)
But then again, there're a LOT of exceedingly prissy Miata drivers out there,
too. Don't know how good they have it - lots of fun with a minimum of hassles,
and none of those funky SU or Lucas apparati to need tweaking right when you
need the car for a date or something. Why, I even know a woman, in Cupertino
of all places, who had the nerve to tell me that it was 'just a little too
cold' to drive without the roof --- WHEN IT WENT UNDER 55!!!! Sheesh! She
grows up with MGBs and a Spridget of her own in Philadelphia, then moves to
California, gets a Miata, and her brain turns into guacamole.
55?! 55!!! I'd KILL for 55 degrees right about now.
Maybe I'm the exception to the rule for M-drivers? Heaven help us.
