The notion that a Miata is a feminine sort of car reminds me that my
childhood impression of the Alpine (early, big-finned model) my neighbor had
in 1964 -- I had the distinct impression that it was for women who wouldn't
put up with the lack of creature comforts in A-H, Triumph, MG, et al.  I
can't help wondering how the uninformed perceive my Tiger.  People clearly
reacted differently when I had a '56 TR3.  Not that I care too much -- I
like the impression I have of it that it doesn't scream "I have a little
bitty tallywhacker" like Cobra replicas and Vipers.
