Aaaannd...isn't "getting the facts" what we're trying to do here via this topic?
Aaaannd...isn't my writing above "I don't know the details on this particular model, but based on what's been written in this topic to date..." reserving judgment?

Greg,
You don't get it. First you take your standard GregA 'poke' at the Miata classification inferring that something has been done to give it an advantage. Then you bitched at me for 'not posting quick enough' - when I had no access to do so, then you offer me a Macy's coupon when I tell you to pound sand? That's rich.
You can try and 'get the facts' without your stupid little barbs that insult the ITAC and CRB. Maybe everyone in 'your circle' think it's cool but it seems petty.
You definately 'reserved judgement' when you wrote your little gem:

I think there may be some history going on here but as a new-comer to this group I gotta say, Andy, the above comments in your post struck me as condescending and insulting. And anti-Miata?? You could replace the car being discussed with any other and it wouldn't change any of the points being made. It seems to be about limited edition models, not anything specific about Miatas.
You might want to reexamine once you aren't stuck in an airport. :(
And rehashing old issues over and over again, well that's the life-blood of message boards. Don't try to stop it, embrace the lunacy of it!
Or, since I don't have a Miata or an ITS, I could just mind my own business. :blink:

Chuck,
You have to know Greg's history for anti-Miata sentiment. His distain for Spec Miata's and the ITA Miata classing process are well documented. When he then throws in BS Miata-hate crap (again, like he is documented as having an affinity for) WITHOUT getting the facts FIRST, it is an insult TO THE PEOPLE who volunteer their time to try and get this stuff right for everyone. Did I get fired up? Yes - but only because of his insinuation that something was bogus about this classification without waiting to first understand. If you were insulted by my admiditably peeved response to Greg, I apologize.

Greg is unhappy because said car was spec'd through a process inconsistent with that being generally applied. It was expeditious but not right, and I'm equally unhappy with it. [/b]
But that is just not true Kirk. The time-frame of the classification requests and the nature of the facts were all 1st-timers in the 'history of the process'. I believe 100% the ITA Miata classification is correct and would do the SAME thing agian to ANY car, given the same timing and facts about the equipment. Agree or disagree with the result, but please don't imply it was an inconsistant application to a normal situation - or rushed in any way. It was a well thought out and logical classification given the information and timing of requests presented to us.
Things were going much smoother when I wasn't posting. I leave it up to Jake and Josh from here on out!
