How to you go from that to a Miata?

I've been driving pickups for the last 30 years. It was a bit of a shock to get into the FR-S...But an instant flashback to my 82 RX-7!

I go from my 74 Mark IV to my BRZ to a Pilatus PC12 to some piston-singles to my pedal bike almost seemlessly. Just have to know your ship.

Congrats! My first half dozen cars were all junk and all under $200 and completely illegal.
