Why a miata?

In 2000 Ernie & Mary went to a British car show at Patriot's Point to meet some of the British Car Club members and express their interest in buying either an MGB, a Triumph TR-6, or even an Austin-Healy. As luck would have it the first AH had a number of viewers and several of us started talking about this beautiful black car. One of the older men said he recently sold his AH after 17 yrs of ownership. After its restoration he realized that it still was not as reliable as he wanted, he was spending too many weekends working on his car and he was spending untold amounts of money. They quickly had their eyes opened and knew that they were not going to buy any British sports car. They asked what kind of a car he bought to replace his AH. They expected him to say some kind of a foreign sedan, but instead he said, "Oh, I bought a used Miata. I'm having a blast!" Not too long thereafter Ernie & Mary saw an ad for a 1995 Merlot Mica M edition. They had already looked at several other Miatas, but none had struck their fancy.  After some quick negotiations, Mary bought the car (she was the one with the cash) and Ernie has been driving it ever since.
