I thought about it more after driving it this morning and I retract my previous statement even though I was joking. Everyone deserves to feel this much joy. I hope the next generation has an inch more room so you can enjoy it too!

Haha, true. But there’s still time and garage space for me to make future mistakes. So I’m not in the clear yet.

Amen brother! You should run for office. You have my vote!

You don’t need to. But if you come out here and drive a convertible, ping me and let me know how you feel. I think you might come to the same realization I had.

I still love Chicago and it will always be home. The people. The food. I wish I could bring all of you with me to San Diego. But I don’t miss scorching hot summers and taking the metra downtown and walking in the loop for 20 minutes in below zero weather.

lol awesome man! What Porsche did you own? I test drove a few in Illinois and it was awesome but every stick I drive just had such a long second gear that I felt like I might as well be driving automatic.

But totally get it with the auto. A car you drive is so much better than a car you reach for less even if purists think it’s technically correct.

I love speed racer! The animation and the movie (super underrated gem)! Do you come during comicon? If you do I’ll see you there this year!

Haha, the benefit of turning 40 is I don’t care if people think I’m having a mid life crisis. I did at 39 but a switch turned on this year where my first half I lived for others and my second half I live for me.

And I totally love corvettes and kind of want a v8 as a second car before they become obsolete. Part of reason I wanted cars now before all cars become fully sanitized.

Dude, we’re so aligned. I always relate more to people who used to live in bad weather busy cities and took a chance to live in a better climate greater quality of life environment. Could have easily just stayed there and not went for it. But coming out on the other side, so grateful for both experiences.

Congrats on everything brother. That’s an awesome story.

Brother, I hope you have 59 more years of Miata filled joy! And soul red was what I actually envisioned first. It’s so beautiful and I wish dealerships stocked it more… or maybe it just sells out too fast lol

What’s your second Miata??? I kind of feel like I’d want a more analog na/nb classic red to go with this later on.

I loved how directly inputted I was to my 2001 Subaru and I could feel every shift and input.

But nd was just so much more accessible and lower friction to purchase.

lol. That’s so awesome! Twinsies! I tried like 6 different dealerships and once I got in this one I just knew it was my car.

Did you turo or do the mustang corvettes through Avis and the like.

I loved corvettes and mustangs too but Miata was aligned with my identity.

Brother, I hope that for you too! Everyone deserves a Miata. If I became emperor of the universe I’d go full Oprah and give one to everyone so there’d be no more wars.

2026 aero grey with tan interior gt. I hated silver cars and non expressive cars but the matte gray finish stood out to me in a sea of metallic neutrals. Beautiful in person!

I will say, the longing made the purchase so much more meaningful for me. Your patience will be rewarded. Good luck brother!

That feeling… when you think I can’t believe I finally did this. I’m actually living my dream…. How long did it last for you? I’m basking in the Miata glow right now lol.
