I keep saying I am going to make a hood for my salamandor angling the heat straight down so I can just wheel it up and dow the concrete but I havent yet.
I own 2 snowblowers so that part is faily easy. However I do shovel the street in front of my house, particularly in front of the driveway. I do not however try to get it all as most of the time that requires too much work.
Overall tiny size of the miata makes it a chick car in my mind. Although I have seen a few I would rock. The rarety of the amount of fd's you see running around also lends itself to making them a guys car.
