I watched this little infomercial and was disappointed to see that the 
total exposure of the PF Miata was about 3 seconds of stop action fottage 
of it on the turntable.  Ah well...

I was at the show Saturday afternoon... saw our forlorn little empty 
booth.  Not that I was any help. :-)

Interesting - I didn't notice ANY other club booths there anywhere.  I 
hope DC's show was better - heck they didn't even have an RX7 there!

I WAS surprised to see the BMW 318ti - a very nice 4-door hatchback for 
about $19k... hmm.
