I haven’t driven a Miata in a long while and this was a great reminder of why people love these cars so much. John was nice enough to let me hammer on it for a day, and as you can tell by my reaction, it was a pleasant surprise to be behind the wheel of one again, especially one with a bit more power.
Here’s some info on John’s car:
