POV: there's a rainstorm but you own a miata

I bought a convertible so I shall use it as a convertible.

I just stumbled acrossed this video, that 4k 4:3 ratio is giving high resolution retro vibe and I love it! the somewhat grainy footage and the gloomy weather makes it feel even more special.

[@mattch1n]

haha thank you!! Glad you enjoyed! 🙏

[@RickyRays]

Wonderful CGI, you make it look so realistic!!

[@mattch1n]

Thanks man! I always try my hardest when doing CGI to make it feel like you are the driver !!

[@thegirthquake8574]

Bro really said "I bought all that headroom, by GOD am I gonna use it"

[@mattch1n]

ON GOD. You already know the vibeee

[@nieo777]

Bro already calculated rain speed and gf trusted it

[@mattch1n]

LOL “babe trust, I’ll just drive faster than the rain and we won’t get wet, trust!” 😂

man livin the dream

[@mattch1n]

yessss, every time I drive this car and get to drop the roof, I feel like I'm living the dreammm

[@ligerzeror3539]

Sick vid, the only time I recognized the road for once because of a family trip haha! It was a sweet road, nice views must have been lovely with that top down drive from how you explain it Ps you should get hired for movies on your CGI work + nice NC :)

[@mattch1n]

I wouldn't say "lovely", but it was definitely exhilarating ahaha, appreciate the kind words!

[@defercloud]

bro this car makes me want to get a driving licence

[@mattch1n]

yesss, definitely do it! driving cars is one of my favorite hobbies haha

[@stub4488]

Top down no matter the weather!. Same here!

[@mattch1n]

always!! bought the convertible so we gotta use it as a convertible 🙏

[@steve-ey3rx]

GF looks less than thrilled. Driving in the rain with the top open is one of those "yes, you can, but really?" kind of questions... ;)

[@mattch1n]

yeppp, too bad for her I am more than thrilled LOL

[@FirstnameLastname-ni9uh]

I can always recognize sea yo sky highway such a beautiful drive even in rain

[@mattch1n]

Definitelyyy, it’s so beautiful I almost want to drive slow to take it all in 😅

[@JETZcorp]

Last winter I took my NC2 over Stevens Pass while it was snowing with the top down. Neat experience!

[@mattch1n]

Ugh yes I can't wait to drive mine in the snow!

[@JustMe-pc2ii]

That Woman is so chill 😎

[@mattch1n]

hahah she said it was okay cause we just came from a hike and she was gonna wash her hair anyways 😅😂

[@pete5534]

Fun. I’m not buying the CEL due to altitude - the Sea to Sky Highway is hardly “high altitude.” You might want to do a proper diagnosis for the fault.

[@mattch1n]

yeah you’re right, I probably should 😅 although I will say, every time we go north or higher altitude of North Vancouver, it always gives me a CEL 🤔 I’ll look into it though

[@navysealsrecruitmentteam7107]

If it weren't for comments or description I genuinely had no idea this was CGI

[@mattch1n]

haha thank you !!

[@RobWhittlestone]

Engine check light on? I just did this on a weekend trip to Germany. Rain? Faster! It's only wet when you're slow! All the best, Rob in Switzerland 2009 NC 2.0l Sport in True Red

[@mattch1n]

yeah not sure why check engine light was on :/ heck yeah! enjoy your miata, Rob!!

[@Epicflipflops]

GF: it’s cloudy what are we gonna do if it rains?! Me: drive faster.

[@mattch1n]

accurate 😂

[@potater6163]

"this is CGI, I did not actually break any laws on the actual Sea to Sky highway)" no need to put that, you werent even breaking traction

[@mattch1n]

true, that's why I said I did not break any laws ;P

[@JiggyStarz]

Wish I could use high altitude as a CEL excuse... Sad Netherlands noises

[@mattch1n]

hahaha 😂

[@ALFA95C]

Bro what's up with these CGI comments is it like some running gag on this channel? Nice video tho I drive a VW hatchback so idk how rain feels in a convertible, but I do love the feeling of a cold wet dark sunday motorbike ride ❤

[@mattch1n]

LOL I’m just a law-abiding citizen who doesn’t speed (check the caption 😉), but maybe it will becoming a running joke 😂 damn I need to get myself a motorbike, it must feel like driving a convertible but even more open and visceral 😮

[@ALFA95C]

@@mattch1n Fr bro bikes feel like they're an extension of you which legit makes the experience surreal. Driving a car has its own vibe, like being in your own comfy cabin but yeah man you gotta give motorbiking a try, lend one if not buy one right off just to know what you're signing up for ✋💯

[@mattch1n]

@@ALFA95C sheeshhh I'll have to add it to the bucket list!

[@drewdavenport3833]

i love driving miata's in heavy downpours as long as I can stay over 40 mph just for the ridiculousness of it. Tip: My NA's did a much better job of keeping me dry vs my ND. The ND will have rain coma around the A pillar. So, the windows have to come up with extreme downpours.

[@mattch1n]

Yeah, sameeee Why does the NA not suffer from this problem where the rain comes around the A pillar? I have this problem in the NC and I just assumed all convertibles have this problem

[@cptndave1]

Didn’t buy it to drive with the roof up!

[@mattch1n]

exactly !!

[@sutats]

ECL is on. Happy driving.

[@mattch1n]

Yeah I know lol, gonna blame it on high (ish) altitude 😅

[@Diecastjoe]

Looks fun man!!! Maybe my next car will be a Miata. ❤

[@mattch1n]

I can't even begin to explain how much fun it is, you should definitely get one! 🙏

[@gixxersquid69]

4:3 AR makes it look way better

[@mattch1n]

thanks! it’s definitely nice to see more of the steering wheel and the sky

[@chic10x]

check engine light bothers me

[@mattch1n]

same, sry :/

[@FabianoMaiaFranco]

What's the point opening the car roof in a freezing rainy night?

[@mattch1n]

Not sure I can really explain it, other than by saying it’s fun as heck. You sort of just need to experience it for yourself: the wind in your hair, the light misting of rain as it splashes over the windshield. The rain doesn’t get in the cabin cause we were always at constant speed. All you feel is the rain sort of grazing the top of your hair. It really is a very cool feeling that you need to experience

[@ironcascade7921]

@imfrossen 100% CGI in the eyes of the law because I am a law-abiding citizen who does not speed in real life 😝

[@stevenyerry2209]

where is this filmed

[@mattch1n]

It's CGI, but it's rendered to look like the Sea to Sky highway north of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada ;)

[@weethen]

the NC is the greatest car of all time (definitely no bias ;). it's a blast to drive, even in stock form (but a good set of coilovers make it even better). my dad had one, i totaled it earlier this year, but after college i plan to get my own and make it into a fun daily & occasional track + autox car.

[@mattch1n]

hell yeah, I’m enjoying mine so far in stock form, still deciding on the direction I want to take the car in terms of mods 🤔 oh damn, sorry for your loss but definitely get another one! 👀

[@OnTrack_media]

How is the bc better over all the other ones, it’s heavy and looks chunky 😂

You plan yo get your OWN??? LMAO what a daddy's boy. First you give back one to your father, you owe him for what you did. Then you can start thinking about yourself.

[@Chaser-fc4iw]

So sorry to hear that! You gotta buy your dad another NC first dude, get him the third generation he'll love it Then you can worry about your own NC

Definitely feels amazinggg, such a wildly fun and freeing experience! It’s a MZR 2.0L inline 4, stock 2008 NC1 Miata

[@steve-ey3rx]

Just noticed the date. Do you still talk to ex-GF? 😆 Miata passenger experience must be dull. Not much to do to keep occupied (like driving), and nothing to hold on to. :(

[@mattch1n]

I do not, unfortunately I never thought about that, cause I'd personally be thrilled to be a miata passenger lol 🤷‍♀️ maybe she found a new bf who doesn't have a miata and maybe that will be less dull 😅
