[Tigers] Final word on Miatas

[sralsten at ca.rr.com]

Well, since I've had my latest mid life crisis a couple months ago before buying the Tiger at 58 years old I'm hoping I'll now live to be 116. If I manage another midlife crisis at 115 can I live to 230 ?

I was not real impressed by the Miata. I test drove a Honda S2000 a Lotus Elise, and a Mazdaspeed Miata within a couple hours of each other and bought the Honda. Now I've bought the Tiger and have the S2000 up for sale.
