I have always been under the impression that convertibles were for enjoying a
nice slow, liesurely drive in the country! :)  I mean speed limits are for
those of us who want to make everyone passing us jealous, right?! Personally,
70 is just fine for me on the highways. Being a grad student I have to watch
my fuel consumption (gotta pay for gas somehow). At 70 I can get 35 mpg, even
with the top down. But alas, I too have a little bit of Speed Racer in me. Once
I was late getting to Cedar Rapids, IA (I think I was going to a corn harvest
or hog calling thing (a regional joke)). Yes, the Miata handles very well at
115 for extended lengths of time (about 30 minutes). The ride felt so nice I
didn't even think I was going over 75ish. SO, enjoy the ride and be aware of
the ever present members of the law enforcement community.
	I'm driving from WI down through the MD/DC area and down to NC this
weekend, then back next week. If you see a red 92 with WI plates "ALS MX5,"
feel free to honk or stop me and chat.
	Happy Motoring
