Mazda Miata: Respect the Roadster

Since the word “roadster” was first spoken, someone has always taken to calling them “chick cars”. I think those people were missing out on a real driving experience and now more so than ever.

There has been a surge in roadster activity in most scenes and the reaction is super positive, especially surrounding the smallest of them all: the Miata.

You’ve probably seen the craziness involving the little guys. Wild 5.0L Coyote or even and LS engine swaps have become rampant among the MX-5s and they have invaded the stance game like a foreign species. They’re even breaking ground in the competitive drift scene with ’s orange camo’d, crab leg sponsored, badass NB. 2015 looks to be the year of the roadster and I’m stoked. #pasmag
