I guess you would be more comfy in a Crown Vic.!!!
More your style anyway.!!!

Wife's style, but she's took it a step up, and has the Grand Marquis

And, actually, the S fits me like a glove in other respects, although I think the stock roll bars would do nothing for my fat noggin' in a roll.

I get that same feeling when I go from the S2000 to the MX5.
The Miata feels absolutely tiny.

I agree. I was debating buying a 2006 MX5 when I picked up the S. The biggest issue I had was those TERRIBLE cup holders on the doors. The driver's is exactly where my knee is when not clutching.

I usually just lift my foot up and not slide it left till I know I'm done moving around the pedals and my shoe size is 13 E.

To me the new MX5 feels almost as big as the S, and certainly "huge" in comparison to our first gen MX5. I never even noticed the cup holders in the new MX5.

I do like the ride, handling, and power of the new MX5 though. A much improve car, even if it does feel bigger than the original.

I'd have to agree. In fact, it wasn't until I took both the S and the MX5 into a very twisty canyon that I knew the S was the car. Up until that point, I loved everything about the MX5 (minus the cupholders). It is so much better than the prior gens.

The correct, sanctioned answer is "don't."

"At your own risk."

I don't mind telling our members how I do things, but I always try to include some warnings about the possible downsides. LOL, it doesn't say anything in the owners manual about not dropping the clutch.
