About 4 months ago my CAS went on my car. Stalled in the right hand lane in peak hour traffic on the highway, copped plenty of abuse from idiots in commodores so I know what you're talking about.. :lol:

People are definitely harsh towards the car, but everyone who is harsh has never been in one.

My theory to this is that the mx5 is labelled as a 'gay' car.

'Gay' technically means 'happy'

Therefore, it is 100% correct.

My mx makes me so very blatantly gay, everyday.

Edit: To add my little 'convert' story - There was a cleaner at work who kept giving me sh*t for having an mx5 until the night I offered him a ride home. First half of the drive he was holding on tight, white as a ghost and not making a noise. Then he realised that indeed it was a wonderful car, handled like a dream (hence the holding on tight ;) ) and at the end of the drive he had a massive smile on his face, looked at me and said - "ƒü¢k that was fun. But it's still gay."

Good enough for me

not sure why people are so thin skinned about this. The MX5 never was and never will be a macho car ike a Corvette or a Shelby Mustang or AC replica or a Posrsche Turbo but its still the best selling sports car ever and they cannot all be hairdressers- or can they?

The AC Cobra Mr M was originally the Ace before someone put flares and a massive V8 in it, and I very much doubt that anyone would call an AC cobra a gay car these days.

Maybe the same will happen with the MX5 :?:

, but at the end of the day as long as the owner enjoys driving it that's all that really matters
