I'm with Deekay on this.
Most of my comment are good. Though I'm also tired of the gas milage question.
No matter what the comment I love this car and don't give a rat's pooter about anyone's opinion. This car has started some conversations you wouldn't believe, and if I wasn't happily married BOY-O-BOY!!

It's interesting you guys bring this post up. My last few cars were either built or supercharged convertible corvettes. I sold them and was left with a lifted, supercharged H2. I opened another bodyshop and between driving between the two, I was spending 200-240 bucks a week in gas.
So I traded an old alignment rack for a Miata. Though it was in my opinion a "girly" car, it was fun to drive, handled like an oversized gokart and got great gas mileage.
I decided that the car would be even more fun if it had more HP so I bought another Miata with a supercharged V8 in it. (450rwhp and 496 rwtq)
Point is, most of my cars/trucks (excluding the stock Miata (which I since then supercharged)) have been pretty "manly".
I got ragged on a lot about me driving a Miata and wasn't sure how my friends would take me driving a mini.
Most of them like it but there are the few that still give me crap (mostly in jest)
Anyway, yesterday I was in the bank sitting waiting for the bank manager...the mini was parked outside.
A big, burly guy pulled up in a landscaping truck and walked in. He walked in and immediately asked the tellers whose mini that was... it was really cool.
The tellers didn't know whose it was and he continued the conversation with them saying they needed to come look at it, it looked really cool.
I never said anything and the girls in the bank had no clue it was mine but it made me feel pretty good that this big, burly guy didn't think it was a girly car.
.... not that I would care.... I'd still drive it.
