     This very morning, I honked and "popped lights" at a Merlot "M" 
     edition on my way to work.  The "tan top" packages are pretty rare 
     around here, so I almost always get a wave from a fellow "C" package 
     owner.
     
     This lady looked at me as if I were some kind of lunatic when I pulled 
     up next to her at a stop sign!  Man, if looks could kill...
     
     I guess some people buy a car strictly for their own little world and 
     could care less what other people drive.  Or maybe she had a bad case 
     of "Mine's an 'M' edition and I refuse to acknowledge inferior models" 
     syndrome.

Ok let's try this message AGAIN!  I hate mail-hang-ups!
     
Miata owners a a rare breed.  We share one quality that no one, even 
BMW, cannot match!  So, Why is it that sometimes when I am crusing and 
pass another Miata, I wave and get no response back??
     
It's like 75% of the time no one really cares.  It's like the owner of 
the other Miata is the type of person who bought the car and showed it 
to his friend by saying: "Hey Billie, cumon' over here a see my little 
ne europ-ean sporty convert-mo-bile!"
     
These people just don't get it.  I usually flip up the old lights, but 
to pulse...just DEAD Miata owners.
     
Am I missing the secret flash-to-pass-wave-your-hand wave???
