It does get terrible gas mileage. You, on the other hand, are being too nice to television sitcoms. There is no way that your Honda is nearly as boring as the current crop of crap that is on television. See, we don't disagree on everything...... :-) Pat |

The Miata passed because they let it, not because it was faster. |

No. You could as easily conclude that they let it buy because it was faster and this wasn't a race (and thus everyone would have been given pretty strict instructions about not actually trying to race one another). My take on it is that the Miata was both reasonably fast and more importantly, probably driven by someone who was far more capable and keen to *go* fast than a lot of the cars out there. -- Alan Baker Vancouver, British Columbia "If you raise the ceiling 4 feet, move the fireplace from that wall to that wall, you'll still only get the full stereophonic effect if you sit in the bottom of that cupboard." |

Again you make my point, the Miata passed because it was allowed to do so, not because it was capable of doing so had the other drivers been willing to race. |

No. I suggest that there *may* have been another explanation, but to declare it definite fraud is another matter.

There's no possibility that I'm wrong, the film is offered as evidence that the Miata is capable of passing cars generally considered faster, it shows no such thing. Claiming that it does is the fraud here. |
