How exactly is this worthy automotive news?

because it is pure, unadulterated awesomeness, that's how.
Red 2:02PM (4/27/2008)
Read the title. Miatas aren't in fact as impractical as we once thought them to be. Besides, that pic rocks hardcore to the third power.

I am with LeRobert. This is ridicoulous; however, had he hit a pedestrian because of this, you would have nominated him for the Darwin award. Praising this guy, however underhanded, for this stunt, is just not right.

Because little convertibles are fun! Besides those of us who have owned one know just how much you can haul in one is amazing.
Lets see, did eleven large bags of pine bark once. Also did two Christmas trees one holiday as well. Got a compliment about my nice pickup truck the day I had the pine bark in it while at my local Lowes
Impractical only if you have little imagination. Compared to the Pontiac/Saturn twins this car is a station wagon in capacity

wow... just... wow

ROTFL .. I'm off to Ikea to see if my 1st gen Miata can do the same thing. :D

HAHAHA. Thats San Francisco! Van Ness and Hayes to be exact.

San Francisco. Which proves something about Miatas.
Not a bad thing, mind you, given that I lean that way myself. But a thing nonetheless.

freakin awesome
now I'm off to make my Maxima a roadster!!

But he's still driving a Miata...

But it will pound your ass in the autocross.
Phillip 2:34PM (4/27/2008)
Other things maybe pounding your ass too.

Not a sport car enthusiast? Why are you on this board? Consumer Reports may be more your thing.
Jason 3:56PM (4/27/2008)
Haha, that's what she said! (or he?)
Sorry couldn't help myself - I just recently started watching The Office.

Not impressed. That's a loveseat, not a sofa.

Dan 2:05PM (4/27/2008)
That doesn't look like it's even tied down.
Just the sort of vehicle you want to drive behind, am I right?
Reply
doc b 2:34PM (4/27/2008)
it wasn't tied down. if you look at the first pic, you can see his hand holding it.
this is the only time in my life i was glad i had a camera phone.
i checked the news later that night. no major couch/loveseat related traffic accident, so i think he made it.
