Wesley Clark drives a '92 Mazda Miata

[Awsi Dooger]

"...a cute little car, gets about 29 or 30 miles per gallon." He implied his wife had picked it out, but no word about color.

I obtained this crucial info Friday night, when C-SPAN continued to follow Clark long after he finished his speech at New England College in New Hampshire.

A woman from the audience seemed intent on holding Clark in Guantanamo if he owned an SUV. "No, I don't own an SUV."

One undeniable nicety about our '04 presidential crop is everyone has comfortable leg room in a Mazda Miata, other than John Kerry.

I'm looking for similar meaty subjects to hasten my exodus from the 700 Club.

3. Isn't that a foreign car?

The unpatriotic bastard.

[Awsi Dooger]

4. Yep, I think all Miata's are manufactured in Japan

At least that's what the Mazda salesman told me several years ago when I bought a Protege.

Probably not long until the RNC digs up a tape of Clark purchasing the thing.

5. So?

What entitles an American union auto worker a job over an American union longshoreman?

[Awsi Dooger]

6. So it's time for another post on the way to 800

Are you sure Miata's aren't flown over?

They're kind of tiny, you know, and I've never really been blown away by the Pacific.

[Gore1FL]

12. Snort!

flown over!

hahahahhahahah

8. It was a joke

Ha ha ho ho he he.

24. I drive a Nissan

and I love it. Nissans are my favorite, they get good gas mileage, are extremely reliable and have good features. I prefer Nissans to all other cars, and both cars I have ever owned have been Nissans and their record has been great.

7. Wasn't that the first year?

Cool! I'd love one of those myself.

[Awsi Dooger]

9. I think the Miata debuted in '89 or '90

The sporty Miatas were super hot and selling for well above retail. That's extremely rare, although the PT Cruiser followed suit a few years ago.

I remember the old Aladdin in Las Vegas having a nightly drawing to give away a new Miata for a solid month when they debuted. The place was jammed for the drawings. I was dating an employee of the Aladdin at the time and I think it was early '90.

15. You're right

The first year was '90. I had to look it up.

Damn cute set of wheels, in any case.

13. Sheesh

Obviously the guy has a midlife crisis. Next you'll be telling us that he's taking Viagra.

14. FYI on this

Just some ammunition to defend against the Freepers.

Mazda is partially owned by the Ford Motor Co. All Mazda trucks are built by Ford.

[Nevernose]

18. Or all Fords are built by Mazda

The one Ford pickup I owned, in the 80's, was essentially a Mazda with a Ford label (i.e. the engine parts were all Mazda parts with a Frod label -- do they still do that?)

[PROGRESSIVE1]

19. FORD OWNS MAZDA!!!

.

[Zuni]

23. Clark must be a paid shill for Ford

do not be surprised to hear this.

[JVS]

16. Maybe that is where Bay Buchannon got her little theory.

[Wickerman]

17. Cool, the new DU sport, GD bashing of Clark

has now jumped to the Lounge. Gotta love it, what starts, presumably, as a light-hearted fun post degenerates into more flaming, more posts of anti-Clark webpages. Keep it fun, gang.

[cosmicdot]

20. we're a one-car household

[PROGRESSIVE1]

21. What a bunch of Xenophobic Reich Wingers here at DU!!!

I had no idea that FreeRepublic bought out Democratic Underground!
Why didn't anyone tell me???

[Zuni]

22. OMG, OMG

Everything that they try to smear Clark with must be true!! He drives a friggin Miata! That monster.

[ArkDem]
