As a Miata driver in the deep south - it has never been more dangerous.

    I used to be one of those as well. Moved to WV and it added a new element of fun...icy roads. Three years of that and sadly I became an ex-owner of a Miata since I couldn't really winter the car and I had a motivated buyer. I miss that car most days but you really have to be on your toes all the time with the tractor trailers and "yank tanks" as they lovingly refer to them across the pond.

    Subes are boring but effective in this part of the country.
