as a followup to a query of several months ago about the miata on snow and ice, the northern owners who said it ran well in winter were right-on. it functions at least as well and maybe better than the big guys although once you're on pure ice, you're more like a ski. an important drawback, and one that keeps our '91 in the garage during the worst of days, is that i don't want the bozos whacking into it (or me) on slippery streets. beyond that, the miata is a great 12-month performer in any climate, sez i. art, '91, ex-balmy san francisco, now icy spokane, wash.
