That is one strange looking car..was beside a bright blue on in traffic today, w/ a dk red Leaf on the other side of me. I've been seeing a lot of Leafs and Jukes this summer, even a couple NVs and Murano CCs..

Juke seems to be very popular around here...

[Drew Dowdell]

carbiz always said that the Miata was a gay car....Columbus has a large gay and lesbian population...maybe there is a reason I see so many on the road?
