How exactly is this worthy automotive news?
BigRedSpecial @ Apr 27th 2008 1:41PM
because it is pure, unadulterated awesomeness, that's how.
Red @ Apr 27th 2008 2:02PM
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
Zane @ Apr 27th 2008 1:41PM
ROTFL .. I'm off to Ikea to see if my 1st gen Miata can do the same thing. :D
dea911 @ Apr 27th 2008 1:47PM

HAHAHA. Thats San Francisco! Van Ness and Hayes to be exact.
AMcA @ Apr 27th 2008 8:11PM
San Francisco. Which proves something about Miatas.
Not a bad thing, mind you, given that I lean that way myself. But a thing nonetheless.
nissanfreak87 @ Apr 27th 2008 1:56PM
freakin awesome
now I'm off to make my Maxima a roadster!!
elprogramer @ Apr 27th 2008 2:01PM
But he's still driving a Miata...
Aprime @ Apr 27th 2008 2:10PM
But it will pound your ass in the autocross.
Phillip @ Apr 27th 2008 2:34PM
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 @ Apr 27th 2008 3:56PM
Haha, that's what she said! (or he?)
Sorry couldn't help myself - I just recently started watching The Office.
apearlman @ Apr 27th 2008 2:02PM
Not impressed. That's a loveseat, not a sofa.
Dan @ Apr 27th 2008 2:05PM
That doesn't look like it's even tied down.
Just the sort of vehicle you want to drive behind, am I right?
doc b @ Apr 27th 2008 2:34PM
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.
