The Miata is most often more fun with the top down.  Mostly I drive it
with the top down.  

I often wave at other Miatas, because there is something kind of grat-
ifying in having someone wave back.  People don't always wave back.

If there is any reason I want the top up, I put it up.  If I want one
window, or the other, up or down, I put 'em up or down.  If someone
doesn't wave back, oh well.  Sometimes I don't wave, and a Miata waves
at me, and I've passed before I can wave back.  Oh well.  

What's the point?  Purists are about as infuriating as bigots or rel-
igious fanatics.  A true purist doesn't give a crap.  That's the thing
about a car like the Miata, isn't it?  Jaguar and Porsche owners are
supposed to act like that, (and art critics), according to your 
standard stereotypical status quo outlook.  Isn't there some kind of
reverse pretensiousness going on here?  Live and let live.
