In this episode, the MotorTrend Channel team embarks on a pilgrimage to Mazda's North American Research and Design Center, where they bring their beloved Miata back to its roots. The Miata, a legendary sports car that first graced the world in 1989, has undergone various transformations over the years. However, the team believes that it's time to return to the glory days of the original Miata, where mods were done right and the focus was on performance and style.
Upon arrival, the team is in awe of the facility's impressive courtyard, which showcases the rich history of the Miata. Lined up alongside the original cars, their modified Miata stands proudly, accompanied by their friend Brad's car. It's a sight to behold, a true celebration of automotive passion.
Their host for the day is Jake, a Mazda employee and fellow enthusiast. He not only welcomes them with open arms but also shares their love for the Miata. As they delve into a discussion about the essence of the Miata, the team wonders if the enthusiasts have lost their way in recent years. However, Jake disagrees, stating that enthusiasm comes in different forms, and he appreciates the diversity of the Miata community.
With Jake's approval and admiration for their modified Miata, the team feels a sense of accomplishment. They have successfully brought their vision to life and received validation from someone who understands the true spirit of the Miata. As they bid farewell to the Mazda facility, they reflect on the surreal experience they've had and express their gratitude for the opportunity.
In conclusion, the team's journey to Mazda's North American Research and Design Center is a testament to their unwavering dedication to the Miata. They have proven that it's possible to bring the car back to its roots, staying true to its original design and performance ethos. With Jake's stamp of approval, they can proudly say that they have accomplished their goal. It's a memorable experience that will forever be etched in their automotive adventures.
