Well Stated Chris. It's funny but when I'm driving the Miata I hardly
get a second glance but whenever I sneak the Midget on the street I get
grins, thumbs up, and a lot of interest at stoplights. It goes to the
essential soul of the car. But the Midget is much more of a PITA.
On a somewhat related note, I am infatuated with this body kit for
Miatas: http://www.simpsondesign.net/italia.htm
What do you all think?
