Well, there is obviously no point to try to explain thermal
dynamics to *this* group. If they had the scientific background,
they would have bought white Miatas.

But I do not stand on street corners. There are too many red
Miatas cutting them, trying to make up for lack of speed,
as this wheel shows.

I have had enough of this stupid crap about the color white.
If you just use common sense you will see that a 2002 se miata (gold mica
sunburst metallic), is the fastest color. Because it is the same colr as
sunlight, the light waves cancel each other out. This means that even when
it is not moving, my miata is traveling at the speed of light. It also
means that when it does move, it is going faster than the speed of light.
Unless you intend to make the rediculouss claim that some other color
travels faster than the speed of light, the 2002 se is the winner.

sorry,
I forgot to mention that as you can see by my name, I am in fact DR Who.
You of course realise by now that my miata is actually a cleverly disguised
TARDIS. This of course means that not only is it the fastest miata, it can
actually arrive before it leaves.

OH NO, !!!!! Now I am confused !!! I thought that they painted them
"Yellow" so that we could FIND THEM easy when they got lost on the
Autocross Course ! :-)

the only reason you need to "find them" is because you are still at the
start, while my gold miata is already at the finish.

Awaiting the starting signal...

You make a scientifically convincing case except that sunlight
is not gold mica sunburst metallic. It is white. Almost
exactly paint code PT, in fact.

If sunlight is white, then how come the sun is gold colored? Typical
scientist trying to confuse us with facts when our eyes tell us different.
The truth is that the sun is white, but looks gold, ergo if my miata looks
gold, it must be "sun white". Therefore my original premise stands.
Besides, I'm the doctor and I'm over 800 years old, so stop arguing with
your elders.

It's an optical illusion. that's why. Try this. Stare at something
that is bright green for a few seconds. Now close your eyes. You will
see a phantom image in red, which is the opposite color from green. Now
the sky, as we all know, is bright blue. If you're outside looking
upward during the daytime your eyes are constantly saturated with bright
blue. The opposite color from blue is yellow. Thus the Sun, which is
white, _appears_ to be yellow. Don't be fooled!

Couldn't have said it better myself.
