God Bless Ray, I really miss him.
I also know it's springtime because we now get the annual
Miata bashing that happens this time of year. Might as well
criticize Boxters, Z3s, Mercedes whatevers -- and MGFs while
we're at it.
Our cars give a greater visceral experience than the new
ones do. There's a smell, a sound, a feel and a pride that
comes with owning a vintage car such as an MG that can't be
had from a new automobile.
Just my $.02.
