If you keep making these, I will keep watching. Rock on, Spinelli!

Great camera angle!!! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the back of the seats as well as the back of your head for 4 mins!
@fortsonre
Watching this as I eat on a road trip from LA to Texas with my new Miata GT. Great road trip car if you find the right roads.

Cool video. Most TV shows/movies from my childhood made me want to live in CA. Everything from CHIPS to Cheech & Chong. After 36yrs of living in Queens NY and the past 10yrs living in NJ, I'm finally moving to Santa Clarita CA. Can't wait to take my S2K on Angeles Crest Highway. Thanks for sharing this video!

3:58 - My boneless limb is pretty precise...
@TrybalRage
Kept feeling like I was listening to Ray Liotta narrating a weird miata-centric goodfellas
@gabe23g
Love the commentary; please keep it up!

Delivering the car with a soft suspension tune is one of the reasons the Miata has survived. Half this car’s owner base never breaks the speed limit. They want this car more as a personal statement of their inner maverick and would be put off by the stiff suspension of a Honda S2000. And of course they must have an automatic transmission. Mazda offers all this along with totally silly ideas like that folding steel targa top that adds 100 pounds and costs thousands of dollars. But to a fashionista cruising at walking speed around the nightclub district on a hot summer night, that crazy top is worth every cent because it gets them seen. Mazda has not forgotten the enthusiast! Miata’s double-wishbone race-spec suspension is all alloy and fully adjustable for track use. The owner can choose from a vast array of aftermarket suspension kits that bolt in and deliver exactly the kind of handling and ride combination the driver wants. Mazda is one of the few car makers who build their own transmissions. The manual is a true six-speed within no overdrive gearing, its close-ratio setup giving it the optimal gear for every corner. Rated among the industry’s best manual transmissions, if THE best. I am told the automatic is equally superb. A few years ago Consumer Reports did some research in operating costs. They concluded the most economical car on the U.S. market in terms of maintenance is the Miata. A sports car! These cars are built to last, the powertrain good for 200 thousand miles and up. Thanks to an ultra-high compression ratio, my current generation ND2 delivers 80 additional horsepower over its predecessor, along with significantly greater fuel economy! Even hard driving cannot get mpg under 30. On the open road I get 38-40mpg. Even completely stock, as my ND2 is, I have all the speed and handling I need for back-road sports car handling. Which is NOT at the limit of adhesion, racing style. It is more quick than fast, its lightweight construction requiring fewer horsepower to maintain a sporty pace. Traditional sports cars are fun to drive, not high-performance monsters that cannot safely use their speed on public roads.

I drive an 06 and love it...I will eventually trade it for an MD, but it'll HAVE to be black like this one since the front window framing are all done in black, wish they would of stuck with making them the same color as the car, like they did on the NC models....Beautiful car, I love my NC, ONLY 87,000 on the odometer, she runs like a champ!....and looks like a million bucks in the copper mica red, all stick 06 touring, with the 6-speed automatic transmission with manual mode and paddle-shifters (which I've never used, lol)...saying it's a joy to drive is an understatement.... I've never owned a vehicle that I've loved more than my "MX-5" (06 was the only year it wasn't called a Miata)
@VikramKrishnan404
I turo'ed a 2016 ND Grand touring last time I visited LA. So much fun!
@nate_d376
Loved the Rockford files....and the miata lol... oh, I have an NA, mariner blue.
@mattkramer4132
Great video! I’ve always been a fan of Rockford too. Ok.. So I got my 2021 Miata a couple of weeks ago… Check. I cruised the California coast last Wednesday... Check. Now I need to find that mobile home by the beach… box not checked… yet. But it will be.
@bistro985
We miss you Mike! Glad you’re back and making videos!!!
@googleguy9185
Glad you're back. Thank you /DRIVE
@Falconeer55
Wonderful video of amazing scenery! My Miata is a 2021 GT also, but the RF in Soul Red. I'm in Colorado so I'm waiting on above 40f temps. :p A set of Flyin' Miata sway bars, Cravenspeed's short throw shift kit, and curves. and I'm a happy guy.
