I felt its was so they could keep me from wuppin the local club heros. this weekend I am using my Mazdaspeed MX-5 and entering it as just a Miata.

I get the "Does that thing have 3 doors" a lot....
I say no, it's not a Saturn, this one has 4 doors...
Sometime I get a strange look when I tell people it has 4 seats in the car! Some think it only has 2 seats. :D

Well guys (and girls)... today im going to see what this car tops out at. If I can video tape it, i will (might have to tape the camera to the steering wheel... I have hit 152mph already and it was still pushing... but the turn up ahead made me take my foot off the gas. I'm going to Ocean Parkway today (about 15 miles of straight highway out on Long Island) for this little speed test. Hopefully I'll bring back a video.

My favorite questions went something like this
Q- How big is the engine?
me- very small 1.3 liters! but it puts out about 200 hp!
Q- (same conversation) - how many cylinders?
me- none its a rotary engine
Q- (same conversation) - so how many pistons does it have?
me- no pistons either! rotary engines are different
Q- (same conversation) - so its like an 8 cylinder
me- (giving up) no 12

Got my car a week ago, brand new with 5 miles. Get this comment from a guy who is the president of this amature car club.
Him: So you got her brad new
Me: Yup
H: So it's a 2005
M: No it's a 2004
H: Why didn't you get a 2003 if you weren't going to get the new one
M: 2005 are just coming out, their have been minor cahnges for the 2005's. There is no 2003
H: Yeah but these cars have been out for over a year
M: Yeah but they've always been the 2004 model
H: But you can get a new 2004 now, so that means a year ago you should have been able to get a 2003
At this point I realized all he knew about cars was how to drive his car to the shop and drop his weekly earnings on **** for his POS mustang

I was in my friends 8 on Pulaski Skyway (NJ) and we hit 152 a long time ago.
Due to some gusts of wind (kicking up a lot of sand onto the highway) I didn't feel it was safe to try to max it out. Maybe I'll go back again next week. Oh... lol... and I got pulled over halfway (I was only cruising at about 70mph) because a helicopter probably radioed ahead about a fast looking car with the driver wearing a helmet coming your way - to the cops of course. Cop asked me why I was wearing a helmet, and I told him because there was a recall on the car a while ago for the airbag and I'm scared its going to come out and hit me in the face while driving. He told me to take it off {laughing} and said to get out of here... slowly.

Had a new "stupiest line" from noneother than my buttheaded brother in law last night.
HIM: So, you bought a sports car.
ME: Yeah, felt like I should treat myself.
HIM: For what?
ME: For fun.
HIM: You have a family of five. This only fits four.
ME: I also have a Honda Minivan, what is your point?
HIM: What if that minivan is broken down?
ME: It's brand new too - It's not going to break down. It's my second one. The first one never broke down either. I think I'll take the risk.
HIM: You're just flat out irresponsible ... (this would be the new stupidest line!
ME: WHAT? What the hell are you talking about?
HIM: Driving something like that. Bright colored. Fast. Who the hell do you think you are anyway?
ME: I THINK I'm a guy that enjoys cars.
HIM: To me cars are simply an appliance. Anything more is a waste of money. (I should point out now that the SOB is a lawyer, and drives a Lexus. Some appliance.).
ME: And obviously, I feel that the journey is as important as the destination. This ain't no dress rehearsal. Might as well enjoy every minute of life, even those spent tooling to the grocery store.
HIM: And that's why you're irresponsible.
ME: Tell me something, [his name]. Do you ever just go out and do something, anything, just for the pure fun of it?
HIM:! NO! Who has time for that?!
ME: Thanks for clearing that up.
