It’s been a while, PRNDL. But I can explain my absence: I’ve been lazy. Ta-da! Well, maybe a bit of that, some mental health gremlins, and a whole lot of career toss-ups within the past year and a half. But alas, I’m back and here with some bars to spit about a milestone I recently completed that every enthusiast should strive to hit. Yours truly finagled his way into taste-testing a near-stock NA-generation Mazda MX-5 Miata, thanks to a generous friend’s lightly modded, low-mileage example.
