Miata owners getting called ***?
So enlighten me here fellas... I've yet to drive a miata, although I've owned mine since July '08.
Is it REALLY that bad? I was reading in the "ever have a miata try to race you" thread about how some of you have had people yell "***!" at you while driving your miata's. Just got me wondering if I should wear a mask while driving the car or possibly vinyl the sides "I'M NOT GAY" in a contrasting color.

I never get anyone revving at me or wanting to race. Guess the car isn't stealthy enough?
As far as the ghey references, it's mostly ribbing from friends or family. Never strangers. My wife says I have a Me-Oughta. Me-oughta get a real car. I just tell my friends when they rib me about driving a chick car or gay car, it was this or cross dressing and I chose the car. If I ever get tired of it I just tell them to meet me at the track.
Heck I enjoy driving a VERY capable car that people don't respect. Sometimes I look at Z4's and Boxsters and think maybe I should have something more respectable for a guy my age but I really don't want to take a step backwards in performance! Also like the idea that if something bad happens I can buy another $3000 car and reuse my go-fast parts on it. That's about the same price as a dealership brake job and tune on those other cars!

I use to get that all the time in my '90 Miata when I bought it:
The thing was so gay that I wouldn't even try to argue, I'd just give a limp wrist waive and bat my eyelashes. I had it happen probably 4-5 times in a 6 month period. Since it's boosted, stripped, LOUD, has a rollbar, and race harness nobody has said anything. I just get a lot of odd looks.
I've been dailying my stock 10AE for almost a year now and haven't gotten yelled at yet. I think it just depends on the miata. Some of them appear significantly more gay than others. And like someone else said, when comments do come, it's always from some douche in a huge truck.

I've had kids in school buses throw pens and **** at me while calling me a ***. I get made fun of by my friends occasionally. Car was pretty gay though. No hardtop, gay wheels, no torboz. That's changed though with all the goodies. I guess the lesson is you shouldn't drive it stock unless you're an old man or a woman.

Never took any...but will when I get a chance if you're considering the same. I just screwed a cheapy nylon holster I had grabbed before finding a REALLY good concealed carry one to the plastic surround. It's not pretty...but it works. Once I started to look for race seats I knew I'd need somewhere to set it when in car, and thought I might as well make it a useful mount.
My grandpa turned his flip-down style ashtray into a pretty nice "clip in" holster. I wish I had picks of that: clean OEM look when he's not in the car...perfect access and security when driving.
