As a Miata driver, I'd like to point out that far too many people drive
things which have more in common with the 18 ton truck than they do with
my car.
I don't like your analogy because it inaccurately puts me (as a Miata driver) in
the same category as Windows users, but I think in the real world the Windows
users are more like the SUV drivers who have something that feels powerful and
safe, but isn't.
