Mazda adds first power hardtop to MX-5 Miata roadster
Slightly "OT" but worth the read.
As a New Englander, I can remember USAF Basic Training in San Antonio, way too many years ago. One of the most fun things us N.E'ers + NY'ers did, was to go downtown S.A. in front of the Davy Crockett hotel one day when there was some small "snow" (as they called it). It was such a hoot, they couldn't even get off from the light when it changed to green. I gotta tell you, To a manboy, we laughed (and drank secreted pints of Rum) incessantly, until we literally couldn't laugh no more. But we were "manboys". As an adult, I try not to take such pleasure in people's misery anymore. -- I work for the ILEC ...." stuff happens!

Somebody hurry and buy the PRHT Miata, you can race her to see who can get
topless first, and win every time ............ or would that be losing every time? Chris 99BBB "KWS" > wrote in message . .. > One of my colleagues bought a new Volvo with the retractable hardtop.
