When the weather is too cold to ride my motorcycle, and the distance too far for my truck (seriously, all it takes is 150 miles to empty that thing) i drive my Go-Kart.

Named Howeel – after the popular miniature toy cars – by me in my baby days, when i couldn’t properly pronounce Hot Wheels (not only because i was a baby, but because i babbled in Spanish). These happened to be my favorite toys, and my dad would bring them over to Venezuela from the US when he came for business.

anyways, this car is just plain awesome. it handles in the complete opposite manner as the LC. The Miata will feel confident and planted on a highway exit above 60 MPH, where the LC gets passed by 18-wheelers that are merging.

Accessories:

17″ BBS Wheels

All around Brembo Brakes

Aero body kit

Mainly used as my daily driver, this thing will easily get over 30 MPG and it fills up with 20 bucks of premium.

The soft top is the easiest single hand operation system i have ever seen. the whole deployment takes a whole 2 seconds; 4 if you do it while moving.

The 6-speed manual feels great when engaging the different gears, and the short distance of the throw makes for a sporty feel; of course, i am comparing it to my old JK Wrangler which was far from sporty with its 1 ft plus shift throws.

The cargo area is remarkably large for a car this small. all i can say is that i went to Costco, bought a months worth of groceries, and the only thing i had to leave behind because i couldn’t fit it in the car was my girlfriend.

The Bose sound system bangs; the thing even has speakers on the headrests so that when you are driving topless (which is really the only way you should drive this car) the sound can be clearly heard over the wind at 100 mph.

Update (4/2/19): it is with pain in my heart (and in my wallet, now that I have to daily drive the spud) that I say goodbye to my Miata. It was totaled in a freak accident on March 4th, when I tried to swerve out of the way from an 18 wheeler that had a blowout directly in front of me. It gave me fun times, and an awesome fuel mileage. It will be dearly missed, but now we move towards better things!
