A friend emailed me this today, thought it was a pretty good read.

It's so true that a lot of people have become all about how quick their 0-60 time is and outright speed rather than how much fun you're having in the car. I really liked this last bit, exactly how I feel when people question me about why I would get a Miata; some people just don't get it!

But it’s not a car that’s about bragging rights, not a car for peacock strutting or posturing. It is, in short, not a car you drive for other people. It’s a car you drive for yourself. And that’s what makes for a truly great machine, no matter what the numbers might say.
