Cause everyone knows that there's a starter button in Formula One cars.

Just kidding...but seriously.

 

You think the "girly" thing is a minority opinion among Miata owners, or the general populace? If you mean the latter, I call BS.

I am not slamming Miatas or their owners, I'm suggesting that perceptions of them are rather different from those of, say, S2000s, and that the "girly" appelation reflects a common, and in my opinion majority, view of the car.

 

Dude, there's one...and her name is Elise....Uncomfortable, unforgiving, unreliable...and totally awesome....

 

As far as the general populace goes, I've never gotten the girly comment... or maybe they're just to girly to say it to my face. I haven't even gotten the comment from S2000 owners... well, at least not the ones I've embarrassed on the back roads.

IF your opinion IS true, the opinion of the S2000 may not be that different

 

Getting defensive?

And just how many S2000s do you claim you "embarrassed" on the back roads?

I don't mean to start anything but it looks as if your Miata fanboy pride is starting to show.

 

I'm always willing to embarrass another... are you offering?

Of course I'm proud of my Miata, especially when I can see what the old bucket of bolts can do on a daily basis. But I wouldn't be hangin out on this forum if I wasn't also an S2K fan.

 

Suure... 08742 NJ.. come on over

 

I have to agree with shrike about the perception of the miata. I sometimes get caught up in it. I do not mean to flame miata owners... I have seen some i like.
I just don't think the miata sizes up to an s2000.

They are a different car though. The miata is smaller. Its not as wide as the S and probably not as long. I'm sure they are fun to drive too. Its still a car. I just think its funny when peoples says the miata is more responsive and more sporty than the S. I'm sure a good driver in a miata could maybe be a poor driver in an S but over all we know what the bottom line is.

The S is a purists car. It was designed with perfection in mind. They hit it close too. I have had my S for a little over a year and can say that i'm still learning about it everyday. There's always going to be a better car though. Today its the S and tomorrow the new X.

 

ur on..... you me

 

Your right, mine is almost 500 lbs lighter, and smaller as you say. And yeah, the smaller car will get the "cute car" comment because of it's size. But remember, car size is inversely proportional to foot size. Sorry, didn't mean to step on your feet with that comment... wait... I can't see your feet Where's my flame suit?
