    "Positive, undiscerning iconography"? What does that mean?

    @wkiernan: Either a programmer or using the car to attract twinks. Couldn't tell you which.


    Maybe both, but I wouldn't bet on it.

    Unless, of course, Lancias, Citroëns or old Japanese sedans are included.


    What does my desire for a Mazda Chantez say about me?

    As the driver of a '96 Miata, I can safely say that the description of the '94 is accurate. We '96 drivers, on the other hand, are the true connoisseurs of light weight sports cars. Those '94 drivers are philistines with their six fewer horsepower and interior rear view mirrors that are affixed to the windshield header and not glued to the windscreen as God intended.


    I see you are not impressed. We shall settle this on the autocross course. Would you care to step outside, into the parking lot?

    @milo_carrera--eyepatch-free since 1982.: I used to say that my '96's R package was actually not installed, but the prototype Z-71 package was put on instead. The car sat so high that it towered visibly over my '92.


    Oh and @Thrashy, hitter or Cones: We speak reverently of Hollis our father of STS2, and gladly accept the whoopins ladled by him in the hope of further knowledge to be gleaned.


    Who am I kidding? I really just want an S2000...

    Hmmm...Big black Dodge Ram, loaded .40 S&W in the console, NRA sticker in rear window above Browning sticker. I can't IMAGINE what it would say. But then, I have never had a use for psychoanalysis.

    Last year, I got a euro license plate, a fantastic huge framed photo of my old Rambler and my buddy's old Impala, a new floor-jack, a power rotary buffer, new taillights, new floormats, a bottle of Crown Royal Special Reserve, two bottles of Forty Creek and a set of Guinness glasses.


    I can honestly say there's not one item in there I haven't used somehow.
