The trick is to accept your fate. I daily a Miata.
Reminds me of the bumper sticker I saw on a big, jacked-up American truck, though: "If you can't stop, smile as you go under."
Well yeah...they might be a thing that fits well in the US but they as sure as hell don't belong in Europe.
Reading this thread and seeing all of the reasons people come up with to justify their "need" of a truck is hilarious.
I live in the midwest, have to deal with snow, and with a good set of winter tires I do just fine in my 97 na.
