My wife's '99 miata has the passenger's side as the power lock.

I can only think of one reason why the driver's door would be the power lock. If you're with a woman, you'll unlock her door first which means that yours will be unlocked when you get to it. If you are by yourself, then you don't need the pass side to unlock.

Just a WAG.
