I've had people with their face stuck to the window looking at my Miata as they pass me on the interstate. I've also had a guy in a Subaru drive up beside me and give me a thumbs up. I get way more looks driving the Miata than I do driving my TA WS6.

Only once that I recall and it happened last week! Dude driving a "Chester, the molester" van. It turns out he had (or claimed to have) a 91 BRG. When it's chicks looking my way, I just assume they are staring at me! ;)

Martin, that's a given seeing you have an Italia but I'm surprised at the reaction to a regular Miata.

That's why I put the " :lol: " there :)
Never happened to me in either of the regular Miatas I had before the Italia :(

Little kids love my car; regular people, not so much.

A meter maid in Oakland was JUST about to give me a ticket on my wiper when me and my girlfriend just got out of lunch... with a little small talk and charm my gf got us out of a $60~ ticket. She Said she would have given me the ticket and been gone by now if she knew what kind of car it was. When I told her it was just a Miata, she was like "I thought it was a Ferrari or something so you could afford this ticket I was gonna give you," it was after that comment... she decided to just tear up the ticket, guess she thought I couldn't afford it since I drive a Miata.
But seriously... my car a Ferrari!? Amazing!

relatives are always handing me money and telling me i should do something productive with it, while looking at my car. that counts as a look right?

Can your relatives hand me some money too? I'll do something productive with it I promise!

I get looks and glances every once in a while when at stoplights and on the freeway.
I think a big factor is my window tint, most of the time it seems they are just trying to see inside. Or maybe that my car is always clean and shiny since I religiously detail her once a month.

I wish my family would do that, then I'd be lowered by now.
