Mazda’s fantastic MX-5 and I go way back -- 16 years to be exact. It was the first press car in my career to keep me up at night, the one that made me get out of bed in the middle of the night to go for a drive. I fell deeply in love in early spring of 1999 with a gorgeous NB Miata. That love still burns strong today, and will for the rest of my days.
