Holy shit, nevermind. You guys have SVT, Cougs, Laconian, Morris Minor and afty (of the people who post here regularly).

Miata club has HRP, Chimp, Onslaught and MiataJohn. Apparently I don't count because I only drive an RX-8 convertible. :cry:

You forgot mine- you sure John didn't sell his??

My C6 seems to get dirty remarkably quick despite being garaged ... I don't know if I just have an abnormally dusty garage or what.

Yes. 

My cars stay a lot cleaner when parked in the garage then when they are parked in the driveway.

Ahh whatever, cars look cool with a bunch of mud and grime on them too. Not so much between dirty and clean though.

Common issue actually - lack of air circulation + concentrated dust sources (cardboard storage boxes, scrap wood from house projects, etc.) typically found in garages.

Must be your garage.  Even in a shared garage, my Z4 stays pretty clean.  Mostly just brake dust.

Meh, the looks and increased quietness and room with the hardtop is well worth it.

I don't know about your part of Florida, but after my dad moved down there one of the first things he commented on was how much longer it took for his vehicles to get dirty.  Apparently brake dust buildup isn't as prevalent either (not sure if it's just elderly drivers who aren't as aggressive on the brakes or if dust doesn't stick to wheels as well due to the climate).

Hell, it gets dirty just parked on the street at night, even if the weather isn't shitty.

Yup.  I know the feeling.  Washing my vehicles in the winter is an exercise in futility.
