All due respect but I would think those would be major consideration in a winter beater.
YMMV

No, the white will really stand out when the snow hits the ground!!

I wouldn't be any more worried about the crash worthiness for the winter than any other time. You just have to be defensive and aware in a a miata. The only downside that I can see is the color if they get lots of snow. Maybe it needs some racing stripes in bright bold colors.
