Amen to that, my wife had a serious accident in her Miata about 8 years ago where a wrong way driver hit her and the car passing her head on. The Miata was hit on the left front and the guy passing her was hit on the right front.
Her car flipped and landed upside down. She was just scraped and bruised but sustained a serious closed head injury from the Miata's built in roll bar. She had to have brain surgery to relieve pressure from the bleeding. Thankfully, she has fully recovered but no more Miata's for her.
