Hey Bob:



I just found this other website that had some pretty scary pictures of

Miatas that had rolled over - most windshield had given way.  The ones

with their tops up fared slightly better.  One had a Hard Dog that was

still standing if that means anything.  Didn't bookmark the page though

but will post when I find it again...
