Using the Miata as a DD for awhile to break in the clutch. So far so good

Yeah its completely different. Nothing really phases the Explorer except for high cross winds. The Miata on the other hand, everything phases it lol. I also have to remember I'm in a small car people easily look past with limited safety equipment, no ABS, traction control, or stability management.

Yeah that's part of what makes the new Miata so impressive. It's lighter than mine, and has all the fancy modern toys too.

Yeah it is always interesting driving the Miata in the rain. Fortunately I had the foresight to put the stock wheels on with the all season tires.
