I've had multiple people tell me that they have to keep some if their own car in the mirror as a point of reference otherwise they get disoriented and can't tell where in space they are actually looking. This boggled my mind. Maybe there is a spacial awareness problem with much of the population.

There most certainly is. But it doesn't just apply to mirror usage.

Nice to see a real color on the car again, even if it is a limited edition.

Ha, no. By leaving "949" out of the name of the "Racing Orange" name for the color
The connection will not be lost on worldwide fans of the MX5. That's enough for us. We're honored.

Congrats! I was intrigued by the rumours of this car and fell in love when I saw the final product. I love the orange stitching, alcantara trim pieces and the fact that you can get a full-load (GT in Canada) with the Recaro/Brembo package. Unless something goes awry, I think this will be the car that finally replaces my '93 L.E.. With luck, it will be my next 25 year car.

Good luck, all 500 US bound cars sold out yesterday a few hours after being announced.
