Yes.

I drive mine everyday and I have a 1100' long unpaved driveway (finally saw the DSC idiot light).

And I'm still smiling after 4 weeks and 3000 miles.

At least you guys have yours! ;) I'm not so patiently waiting on the dealer to call me and tell me they've located my car. Gotta love MUSA's web site!

I saw the wintery mix forecast for Friday night here in the Austin area and cringed. Of course it's gonna be a chilly morning for the wife to run the Marathon on Sunday as well.

I feel you pain MesquiteRX8

Still beats the ice, snow and froozen ground the Snowbirds are having to deal with.

Tonight
Feb 13 Rain / Snow

Hehe you had to say it! And a friday the 13th. I have the worst track record for badluck with my car on friday the 13ths. Miata's top was slashed on 13th, suburban ran red light, .... I think I'll drive the wife's car this weekend :) Better yet, I'm staying home..

I forget who it was, but some race-car driver had a good quote:

"Superstitions are bad luck."

There is superstition in avoiding superstitions. (Francis Bacon) :D

I agree with you but the post reminded me of that quote.
