Love mine, plus my commute includes a goodly portion of twisty mountain road.

As I say in the curves, 50 is the new 30. ;)

Back when I used to be on the Miata mailing list we had a formula for how fast you could take a corner in a Miata. It was something like Y = 2x + 10, where Y is your cornering speed in the Miata and x is the posted speed for the corner.

I remember driving I80 through Utah with my wife and seeing a corner posted at 65mph. I remarked to my wife, “I could take that corner at 140mph in this car... if it went that fast.”
