I think, sad as it is to say, that many people around here buy Miatas 
because they're 'the thing to buy.' This is not a slam at people that 
leave their tops up in general, whatever floats your boat :-) but it is 
true that here in San Diego, most are top up regardless of weather.  I 
don't understand -- you own a convertible, if a day comes along with 
*perfect* convertible weather and you're not going to convert, why drive 
a Miata?

Hey SD and LAers, if you see me (ALWAYS top down except in rain), black 
'94 with license plates NO CLIPR (not yet, but any day now) give me the 
secret Miata mailing list wave! Or is there one? I haven't seen any 
mention, but I haven't been here that long...
