    New-B

    My Name is Terry. Just bought my first Miata. it's a 97 NA. My first thoughts when driving it were wow all I can see is the top of the window lol. My next thought after flooring it and hitting a few turns was that it's quite the fun little go-kart to drive. My wife's first two impressions were much the same. So much the same that she tried to trade me her new Camry for it. I told her no then spent the night getting the cold shoulder lol. I'm looking forward to getting dirty and making a few upgrades as soon as the pocket book will allow.
