[Miata] Miata performance over the years

[Keith Tanner]

I've not had that experience. Then again, I've only ever once been
pulled over when I didn't deserve it, and even that was accurate - I
was just the easy car to identify in traffic, that's all. But every
time I've been pulled over in the Miata, I've brought home a souvenir.

The last time I got pulled over, I saw the cop on the side of the road
and just pulled over on to the shoulder before he even had a chance to
get his lights on :) We both knew it was coming - he'd heard me hit
7600 rpm in third gear on the other side of the hill.
