My guess is that Peter Griffin would not fit in a Miata

Actually, all the seasons combined will fit in a Miata. That, plus a stick of gum.

It's not a legitimate sports car.

(Let's keep everyone believing that so the prices stay low OK?)

A lot of the generall public view it as a secretary's car--just like the current VW Beetle.

Peter Griffin says a lot of things that are intended to make him look stupid. If you find yourself agreeing with him, you should be worried.

Wait, so when he said that women were objects put on earth for men's pleasure, he wasn't speaking the truth?? Dang!! I need to go apologize to my wife.

It seems like 2.5 Men had an episode where they kept referring to a Boxster as a girl car. I don't agree with that either, but it does kind of reveal how a car is viewed by the average Joe.

There is no referring about it, I'd rather drive a Miata before a Boxster.

Isn't the question: is a Miata the only legitimate sports car

Boxter is a girl's car.

Seriously, who pays that much for an MR2 just because it has Poor-shuh badges on it?

Hey, I own a LBC, and have owned more than a few, and they ALWAYS started. Some were morning "people" and some were "night" people, but they always started.

I've found that replacing the points with electronics makes any LBC an instant starter. Just as with any American car with points.

Girls do tend to love "girl's cars," if you're into that sort of thing.
