Yeah, I've already heard all the jokes... Gay-ata. Etc. But I'm told that scientific research has shown that if it has a hardtop on it, it reduces the homo factor by 37%. If I put in a cage, gayness factor is reduced another 23%. And if you drive it fast enough to keep up with or pass cars with twice the horse power, friend-of-dorothy factor drops to zero. Not that there's anything wrong with that.... 
Oh, I have no doubt I can spin it. If anybody can spin it, I can. I didn't earn my spot on the HWFMR team for my good looks.

No, she's been eerily cooperative about the miata so far. My spider sense is tingling. Danger Will Robinson. I'm sure a request for a more expensive horse or a bigger horse trailer is not far off.

I talked to one spec miata guy that told me that he was racing and knew his engine was cooked but kept running the race anyway because he figured the engine was disposable and had a spare ready to go.

800 bucks is just the beginning. Soon you'll get hooked on it and start getting things like a built engine from one of the Miata guys for the extra couple of HP for a mere 7-8000. Then there will be happy gas at 40/gallon. It's a horrible addiction that we have. Thank goodness for enablers like SCCA and PCA
