  It could be like this guy I was driving behind one time.  He had an 

old Fiat 2000 Spyder with a temp tag on it (I guess he had just bought 

it).  At EVERY red light, he would look in the rear view mirror and 

re-comb his hair.  OBVIOUSLY not convertible material :-) !  I wanted 

to tell him: "If you put the TOP up your hair will not get messed up".



  I have discovered a heretofore unknown (to me) benefit of driving a

Miata !  The last two days have been real nice (sunny and 80 yesterday,

sunny and 70 today).  So I been driving everywhere top down, even to

work in the mornings (it took me 1.5 hours to "drive home" yesterday, 

if you know what I mean).  I have not been bothering to re-comb MY hair.

I had several people at work ask me yesterday if I was alright.  They 

said I looked "wore out" or "exhausted" or something.  I feel fine, I 

think it was the messed up hair !  Heck, one co-worker bought me a candy 

bar because she thought I was "down" :-) !
