Kimmie and I needed a car beside the Band Van so we stumbled across a
used Mazda Miata. I had driven MG Midgets and Austin Healey Sprites and
Triumph Spitfires in my 20s so I am obviously a candidate in my old age
for a two-seater, and this Miata was a low-miles $13,000 steal, so we
got it.
One day I'm driving along in the Austin sunshine, top down, radio on
loud, and the first splash of "Like A Rolling Stone" comes on the radio
and I crank it up to speaker-cone shred volume, jam the car a gear
lower, stomp it up to 85 and hold it way up there close to the redline
and it feels like musical sex.
This is what music is supposed to do to you.
