    Something I didn't see mentioned: the wheels on the 30AE are actually wheels from the MX-5 Cup Car but instead of it saying "MX-5 Cup" on the wheels, as stated in the article, it says "30th Anniversary". Cool tidbit of the car.

    What! No mention of a mini roundabout?

    It is quite orangey. I like it though.

    The new Brembos stopped it sharp enough :D

    I believe I yelled "IT'S ****ING ORANGE, HOW THE **** CAN YOU NOT SEE IT, YOU ****!?". It was very effective, with the roof off.

    That model has reverse noise cancellation, nobody can hear you outside of the car. :p

    Actually perhaps a form of noise cancellation might help in reducing the wind buffeting you mentioned on the RF. Mention it to Mazda. :)
