Rule 1.

When the Miata leaves the garage the top is to be down.

Helmet, leather jacket, gloves and off I went.

The weather has been so damned cold that when it hit over 45 today, I HAD to react.

It was cold at sea last trip and been so cold since I got back I haven't been able to warm upeven indoors. A chill through my body.

Today the WX heated up to a whopping 45+ degrees, so I decided that I wasn't going to miss a day, so off I went.

It was glorious.

Too bad it'll be coldand nasty again tomorrow.

LEATHER helmet. To keep my short-haired head warm.

You should find a helmet and scarf for the cat. He'd make a good co-pilot.

No shit. Why not just cruise around in your Jetta convertable? Sorry, but you can't post about dressing up like Speed Racer to jaunt around in your Miata, and then say "...got a problem with it?" like a tough guy.

You mean Miata's have tops that go up? My wife never has hers up. Location...location..location!

This is wrapped up until salt and cold is long gone. It is not a Miata and I have no helmet, scarf or goggles. Sorry

I figured the warmer temperatures of today would mean it was a good idea to just throw on a pair of shorts for my beer-run a little bit ago.

I was wrong.

You can wear a bright pink hat and bunny slippers and still look cool in that.

That's why I opted for the leathers, gloves and scarf.

It was still not officially warm, but after the past 2-3 weeks it was heaven

that's actually a pretty gay looking miata. That silly wing and the colored interior.

IMO the leather skull cap is a little over the top, but as long as the OP's said miata has a manual trans he's in the clear.

I bet the male/female demographics on Vette owners is about the same as a Miata.

I've had/have both cuz they are fun to drive.

I have a Miata too. By far the best car I've owned. I bought it new in 94 it now has just a little over 100,000 miles on it. I have replaced the clutch, brakes, battery, plugs and plug wires. It runs like a top and begs to be wound out on curvey country roads.

Posted: 1/23/2009 5:36:16 PM EDT

THIS is a non-gay Miata.

Worse thing about owning a Miata is telling your Dad your gay.
