I had some idiot say, "$33,000 for negative 10 foot pounds of torque? I only paid $5000 for my 95 'Stang." I just shook my head, threw up my hands and walked away....


Guess someone didn't tell him that the 95 v8 stang dynos at 190 HP -- talk about technology

Some jerkoff at the post office told me "that's a nice miata you got there" with a smerk on his face when I was getting out of my car.

when i brought my mugen hard top in to get it painted at the paint shop, one of the guys who work there looked at the hardtop on the car after it was painted and said: "why are you trying to make it look like a Miata?"

yup, the enter and exit part of the car is a pain to everyone. You really have to lift yourself to get out. I just explain to my passengers that the procedure is: step the legs out, grab a whole of the seat and the dash, LIFT, and you're out. Normally people try to leave by just using all leg power. That's a nono.
I get in and out all with my legs... maybe you just need to hit the gym?

I tell my passengers to put their left foot in and then fall into the seat, works well.

When first seeing the car, my girlfriend's mom said "So it's front wheel drive, right?" I guess because it's a Honda, it must be a FWD econo car. Just like Honda's Formula 1 cars

I had a car full of teenagers in a Buick POS speed by me one time giving me the finger and one of them said "FVCK YOU!!". Honestly, I cracked up when that happened.

You should have replied with laying 2 fat rubber strips right in front of her house yelling front wheel drive rules!

In less than one month of ownership, I've heard the Miata thing twice...I took it (and its black 10-spoke wheels) to my parents' house for the first time, and my mom asked why it had "spare tires" on it...sigh...on the other hand, my dad asked if it was the one with the two sets of cams, which was pretty cool...

Never heard a negative comment. I expect some sort of "oh it's a Honda" statement someday.
But, as all of us know, to own a Honda is to love a Honda.
Everyone else is welcome to enjoy their cars and any issues that come with them.
