You got that right. That beast has more swirls than a birthday cake.

Are you joking or does it look that bad in the photo? I used a two bucket method and was pretty careful with it. It has also not been through a car wash. In person I don’t see many swirl marks at all.

Calm down. I was just joking. Nice to see that someone scraped you off the ceiling so you could post a reply.

There is a current-model HT Miata that apparently lives nearby since I see it on my street fairly often. When it goes past I wonder how anyone other than a jockey can fit behind the wheel. It looks *really* tiny with the hardtop in place.

I know that a 6’2” old man can fit in one.




Not comfortably.

My sister had a Miata when they first came out and I test drove it. I am 6 foot 2 also and yes I can fit in it but I wouldn't want to drive it very far.

I remember one time filling up the Sebring next to a guy filling up a Miata. He mentioned that I should have got a Miata, I replied that I couldn't, I have more than one friend.

So... you lied?

My wife and I took a weekend away and left our kiddo with his grandparents for a couple nights - hopped over the cascades to Leavenworth for the weekend. Absolutely torrential downpours and winds all the way over Steven's Pass (40XXft elevation) on the way out and then changed over to snow while we were there for the weekend. We left Leavenworth early Sunday. There was probably 4-5" of largely untouched snow on the ground and much more in the passes.

I was thrilled with the performance of Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 4s I put on the Y a couple months ago. If my eyes were closed (they weren't) I'd have barely noticed that the roads were anything other than normal weather driving. Car lost traction for a split second once on the descent but not much beyond that. Can't say the same for some of the other vehicles around me. Not to mention, the Y is just such a great trip car - comfortable, quick, audio system is great, etc.

Awesome weekend away AND a nice little test for the Y!
