The Mazda Miata is like a Harley Davidson Sportster 1200; it defines an entire phylum of vehicles. Do you want a fun sports car? Here’s your Mazda MX-5 Miata. There are folks who dive Miata’s as their only mode of transportation, and they work. How they brave East Coast slosh winters, I don’t know. I do know that the Miata is the dirty cheat-code of cars. No one can bust you for driving a Miata because the little bugger is perfect. UGH. You’re just a #1 winner all the time. It just bugs me that the Miata has no lovable faults. Yes it’s small…ok…yea it’s a little slow for a sports car. It’s just, it take no grand risks. It’s a ham sandwich with lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes.
One of my earliest memories is the Christmas when my father gave me a He-Man action figure. I was beyond excited. I still have it floating around my parents’ house, beaten and bent like favorite toys should be. If you haven’t guessed, He-Man was my first fanboy love. I still think about the big guy sometimes. Thankfully, my job lets me geek out about the things I used to really care about.
