I was amused when one of my son's 13 year old schoolmates told him my car was "a bit girly". To each their own and he'll either eventually appreciate art or he won't.

Then his Dad drove up in a 15 year old Miata. The schoolmate blushed six shades of crimson and my well-bred son almost lost it and suppressed his laughter until I thought something was going to pop.

I've had so many photos and thumbs-up and waves and smiles that, while appreciated, it has become commonplace.

That's why the Z4MC vs Miata "schoolyard battle for cool-daddy domination" is my favorite (and silliest) experience with the car to date.
