Yup.  I even looked 'em up in the online Yellow Pages to be sure.  
Rent A Heap Cheap...

>I wouldn't mind trying out a miata for a day...

I can't believe that you'd suggest that someplace called
"Rent a Heap Cheap" would have Miatas!  My fellow Miata
club members would have you know that a Miata is *never* 
a heap. :-) 

Nah, the rent-a-Miata place is up in San Francisco, and I
couldn't find it with a quick web search.  I've never tried
'em, but I remember at least one person who flew in from 
the east coast and rented a Miata for a weekend at Thunderhill.
I did notice that Specialty Rentals would rent a Miata for $83
a day, but that is, as Boris noted, kinda steep...
