Inventor of the Miata Reacts to Tiktok Miatas

I'm sitting there working on a B-series truck proposal. I get this tapping on my shoulder and here's Mr. Yamamoto in California. Study says Hello boss, well what are you doing? I'm doing a B-series truck, you should do your sports car idea. He had completely forgotten, he's fine, really, so he disappears and goes to talk to my boss and my boss comes out, you should work. in a B-series truck too, so you can work on the sports car project as much as you want before 8:30 in the morning and you can work on it as much as you want between noon and 1 and as much as you want after from 5:30 so on your own time, yeah, and I did, I started coming to the office about 5: in the morning and I started working on it and I didn't do sketches or design work, it was all about what this car came to be.

I learned many years later, this is how Yamamoto tested someone. Do you believe in what you are doing great? guy like the second father, which is a little scary, probably if he found out about that he would be like "oh, him" and after him would be Nam Toshi hi hi, who is a program manager who actually took all this stuff and made a car with them because Once again without it we have nothing when we finish with the so-called last proposal MH, which if you look you say that that is the car that returned to Japan and the guy who was the manager of the program said that it looked fat.

It looked fat and he did a lot of tweaking on the car here, tightening the radius, bringing in the sides and the problem was that we worked on it for so long that we didn't see the problem, it was an issue that we came up with in California and then we kind of perfected it , but it was a global project, it was a global project, well, you definitely made history, no, I was just doing my job, it just happened that I like the work and something I want to do, let's move on to the next one.

It's so good, this bothers me, what are they showing Aston Martin? Look, put a Miata, put a Miata up there, put a Miata up there, look what they've done to it, they've done something horrible to it, oh, that's property of our showrunner Tony, behind the cameraman I love this car, it's the only one in North or South America, we think there are only like four in the world, it's cool, it's cool, it needs a paint job to get rid of the white ass and you need to get it. Different wheels, although the wheels look a lot like some Aston Martin wheels with multiple spokes and skinny spokes.

I don't think these wheels are as scary as you think. I think they are horrible. It's just me. I'm a big wheel nerd, but have you ever had black wheels on any of your cars? It's not right, because if you had them, I'd say you don't know anything about wheels I never buy, I never buy black wheels, what about a white wheel? The white wheels are on all terrain. Vehicles and stock cars look good, although on ATVs and stock cars they are absolutely right, you know, who else wants to put white wheels on it? Who sees Sandro the white wheels?

The wheels look good. I will tell you that I once had white wheels and I would use them. I sat in the living room and had a piece of glass on top. There was a table. I have some of those tables in my perfect white color. I actually think this is great. What do you think of the pop-up-free look? I was one of the few guys who didn't want to put pop-ups on the original Miata I actually had two design areas where I didn't agree with the direction they went. I would have liked some kind of fixed headlight and I would have liked them to have put the license plates down on the bumper and kept the panel in the rear simple, that's a good take Bob, I didn't expect you to be a no-no guy pop-up, one thing I like about this, the pop-up headlights were round, remember we were starting to do square pop-ups there is something about the round headlights and the eyes of the car that I like I don't know what Bob is, do you have a pop-up kit Favorite body that has ever been on a Miata from Mazda or any other aftermarket company?

You listen to the Crickets what? What I like most is that I like the edge, how little of it was supposed to be on all cars, the simpler the design of a car, the longer it will last. The following clip shows why Ferrari drivers should never ignore Miatas on the track. What about Maserati drivers? I don't think there are any Maserati drivers on the track oh yeah you're right that's a nice Ferrari look at all these Miatas I bet they're about to pass by yeah look at it go uh that's cool I know why was that. very easy for the guy in the Miata that was Magnum Pi's old car and it's all beat up, okay, he didn't take good care of that car, then it was in Hawaii, it rusted, maybe the engine has rust or something, who knows, what?

TRUE? Have you ever gotten in a Miata race car, you would never, ever, ever get behind the wheel of one, yeah, if someone didn't care about their car being totally safe, in the back of our minds we thought that a series, a Miata series, that would be something cool. It's appropriate for the car, it's kind of entry level that makes it easy for someone who wants to get out there, but again, we didn't design the car for that, for racing, the idea was to make it a blank canvas. That taking advantage of the ability to do that is there, we were much more excited about that than specifically saying we need to turn it into a race car.

Gotta make it high performance, actually we avoid it as much as we could go out and drive your 90 horsepower Miata learn to drive no no 115 yes it's good only 15 only only the English are stuck with a 0 if you want to see others legendary automotive experts react to things going wrong on the track be sure to click here Bob, thank you so much for coming, it's been a pleasure, yes, I imagine it would be, yes, we're best friends now, let's play Forza tonight, that's right, but I'm going to use the controller, yes, I'm going to use a wheel, okay, get it, you will be defeated, how about we go for a spin with the weapons after this, uhhuh, come on?

Sounds good, yeah, bye guys, see you around.
