I had no idea Motorweek did a segment on this back in the day! Thanks for posting!

[Bowerso]

No problem, I started going through my old VHS recordings and found this. I take it you were there?

I missed it -- didn't get my '00 Miata 'till '02. Been on a lot of Del-Val and LVMOC runs over the years, though. ;-) I did the newsletter for Del-Val for a year or so -- a couple years back. . . Did a run for LVMOC last year. My Miata is going on 9 years old -- still having a blast with it!

Bowerso: see if you can find the first Miata commercial from 1990; it is not on the Internet. That would be a real find! :-)

[Bowerso]

When DelVal comes up this way I'll tag along (New Hope was cool a few years back), no luck with the 90 commercial, I do see the 91 is posted, I'll keep my eyes open....

Tom Matano was my art director at my college and he s a good friend of mine! He's a great guy! Thanks for the vid.!!

[Bowerso]

Very cool, I missed out on getting my car signed by him, Alot of people had their trunk signed (I was on the track at the time). What's he like?

I have owned a Trans Am, a Camaro, 2 Mustang GTs, and even a Corvette. I have had my Miata for 4 years and nothing I have ever owned compares to the feeling when I'm driving it. It has a few mods to make it a little quicker but not much. I LOVE MY CAR!!!

[MagnusAtheos1]

LOL! It's also no secret that a Miata is a GAY car. Want to look like a fag? Just sit in a Miata. LOL! "This is a kids car". No, this is a womans and a homosexuals car! The last time I saw a Miata club convoy driving down the highway I couldn't stop laughing until I got home. All the "guy's" driving the cars were trying to look all hard core behind the wheel! LOL! The only one that looked right in the car was one woman.

that asian guy looks like tsuchiya

What a great event. We put over 8500 miles on my Miata driving from San Clemente to attend. With stops at The Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Mt. Rushmore, Henry Ford Museum, The Martin Guitar factory and much more along the way it was one of the best excuses to see the USA. Once I participated in the hot laps on the track I was hooked on track days for good. We still have the marriage certificate from the ceremony Rev Jim performed. Easily the best Miata event ever.

Whoa!! I love that porno stache!!

@Bmwdonny be honest-- have you ever been in either the driver or passenger seat of a Miata, top down, whilst blasting down a twisty back road? If you haven't, then reserve judgment until you have. Because from what I have experienced, it is one of life's greatest pleasures. Doesn't matter how much horsepower it has, the joy lies in the fact that you can chuck it into a turn and not come out backwards and on fire if you didn't intend to, and making it go where you want to is almost all thought.

[FrozenBlaze]

AAA!! WHO SET UP THE VOLUME?!
