I'd drive a Miata without any hesitation. I saw a MILF driving one and we had a long conversation about her car. Old gen one with the weird Mazda logo.

I had never even heard of a Suzuki SX4 until that comment. I googled it and it doesn't look too bad really... but I still love my MINI more. :-P

My aunt has a '91 Miata. It's nice :) Too cramped for me though. Never driven one so I can't judge performance.

And thanks again! :) You guys rock. Now to venture onto some other threads...

I said they are rare there, not that they don't exist, and I'm comparing their prevalence to San Francisco. You see one on a road that's for sale; there are at least five parked on my block right now. I'm not going to look up statistics to prove the obvious, and I don't want to internet fight over this, but fact is there aren't many Mini dealers in Michigan, and thus not many Mini Coopers. My mom had to travel quite a ways to purchase hers, while you can't throw a rock in southeastern Michigan without hitting a Ford/GM/Chrysler dealership (though half are now closed). Make sense?

Nope, just Prii and SUVs.

Do they get along? :lol: . The SUV folk here don't seem to like little cars.

Love all your pluralizations except for 'Yarises'. I humbly submit 'Yares'.

If Prius is Prii, Focus is Foci, then Yaris ought to be Yari (despite having a different vowel in print, it is pronounced the same).

I'll never understand how Japanese people came up with "Corolla"...unless they were trying to make a "Corora".

Ok, really, I'm pretty sure that name was a derivative of their "Corona", but you'd think they'd have chosen something they could pronounce. :P

Wikipedia wrote:The name Corolla is part of Toyota's naming tradition of using the name Crown for primary models: the Corona, for example, gets its name from the Latin for crown; Corolla is Latin for small crown; and Camry is an Anglicized pronunciation of the Japanese for crown, kanmuri.

I LOVE DOING THIS. Also, my local bar started doing trivia nights, which is a great outlet for all the ridiculous crap jammed up in the noggin. You should look for one in your area if you feel you need an outlet every once in a while :lol:

My friend knows way too much stuff concerning TV shows/movies. I've started doing this without even knowing it. I know an actor/actress and then start naming off stuff they've been in. Our bar has trivia night. I've contemplated going, but parking around there is ridiculous.
