I saw a Miata in some movie I saw on an airplane recently.  Can't remeber the 
title, but it was about some little kid who acquired an incredible pitching 
arm (freak accident) and ended up pitching for the Chicago (Cubs? White Sox?) 
team.  The movie was awful, but I remeber the Miata.  The sleazeball in the 
movie (the little kid's mother's greedy boyfriend) was the kid's agent and he 
drove the Miata.  They showed him comically trying to fold himself into and 
out of the Miata, as if it were a car for a much more youthfull physique than 
this guy posessed.  Anyway, it got me paying attention to how I get in and out 
of the car, and sometimes I must look pretty funny, too, especially when the 
back is acting up again.  The movie's definitely a three-thumbs down affair, 
but if you're forced to watch it, look for the Miata.

BTW, has anyone seen a miata featured on a movie or something  to that extent?

I sure would like to catch a glimpse of it in 'Movieland'. I remember
flipping on the TV one day and saw a show where someone pulled over onto
a red Miata... the Red Miata ended up with a battered tail-end... then I
forgot how it went. Somehow, I didn't think that it was a movie... more like
a serial kind of show. You know the MacGuyver kind of show....

Any clues or tips anyone?
