I'm allowed, I pay taxes. When I become rich, I'll be an "eccentric"...
Nothing weird about it actually. I like my Miata to feel "raw" like a slow ass motorcycle. It feels like a coupe, If I wanted a coupe, I'd bought one. I wanted a convertible. The HT turns the Miata into a coupe, I just don't care for the experience.

I think if I owned one, it would go on for car shows or events where I have to dress it up. Miatas really do look great with a hard top, but it just doesn't seem practical. (for florida at least) I love the heat and I don't mind getting a tan when I drive. In fact I'm working out not for a beach body, but for a dropped top body

I can still achieve tan lines with my year round hard top
I have a hardtop and to be honest I got a little bored not being able to drop the top whenever I wanted. I had it on for the beginning of our mild winter and kept missing out on great opportunities where it was warm enough to go top down so I gave up and now my HT is sitting in my bedroom, still haven't had a moment where I wish I had it on. Although I must admit it looks great with the HT on, I went to a meet and people kept confusing it for an RX-7 at first glance (always a good laugh).

I completely get it, some people buy a miata for the convertible. I bought mine because it is a miata.
I enjoy top down as much as the other guy, I really just hate all the new shimmies my car has without it.
I live in SOCAL, my HT has been off the car maybe 3 times in 4 years, once in the last 2.
I BARELY ever put the top down anymore except for when a friend want's to see how it's like. I hate my farmers tan, but it's all good. I wanna get a hardtop someday, but it'd have to be Merlot, Black, or White for me to get it.
It'd be nice to cut out of the shitton load of noise at highway speeds as well. Can't have a convo when I'm driving over 60, lol.
I'm a big fan of top down. The miata I just got has a hardtop and no soft. Made the next reasonable purchase. The g-string. Can't wait to get it in its just too cold right now.

Recently pulled the ragtop out of the '94 and hard-mounted the hardtop. The car came to me with a fairly new, great condition ragtop...but non-zip rear windows on ragtops just piss me off. It had to go away.
