The original Miata designer back in the 80's was a golfer and made sure that one set of clubs would fit into the trunk! I'll test that next Wednesday since I've got a charity golf outing thru work that afternoon!

Gay by Design, Or a Lifestyle Choice?

Published: April 12, 2007
RON GEREN, an actor in Los Angeles, commutes to auditions and jobs throughout Southern California in a sleek black Mazda MX-5 Miata convertible. But for a recent date with a woman, he rented a Cadillac Escalade because he was so used to friends saying his Miata is ''gay.''
''Guys say, 'Hey, that's cute,' '' Mr. Geren, 40, said, adding that the comments come from gay as well as straight men. ''You have to fend off that perception.''
A few years ago, Meghan Daum, an op-ed contributor to The Los Angeles Times, wrote about a promising first date with a man that never led to a second one because, she later learned, the guy saw that she drove a Subaru Outback station wagon and concluded she must be a lesbian.
And when Joe LaMuraglia, the founder of Gaywheels.com, an informational site modeled on the likes of Autoweb.com, told his partner he wanted to buy a Mini Cooper convertible, the boyfriend joked that he would not be seen in it because the couple ''would look like such a gay cliché,'' Mr. LaMuraglia said.

LOL Dave. Stopped by 4wheelparts to pick up an hi-lift handle holder and was joking with our facilities manager who was with me that I should consider some 35's on the Miata! These pics are great!

Wow that was perfect timing!
Dude, handle holder? As in the rubber piece that slides over? Take it back! I have a brand new one you can have.

You serious? It's all of 10 bucks and I needed something to hold the handle to the jack this weekend. I sold my factory rack mounts from Slee that I'd been using on the ARB to a fellow forum member.
