Hot!  Can't wait for pictures and impressions!

Btw, did you drive any ND before this to see how you like the car, or just going at it with the full force of faith in Zoom Zoom?

Will say however they got wax/polishing/whatever dust on my windshield, and it streaked so bad I could hardly see driving home (at night, in the driving rain). I could only do like 50 mph on the freeway. Took me a couple of hours with jeweler's polishing compound to clean the windshield. Would suggest you tell them to mask your windows before doing any work.

You paid $600 and they left shit on your windshield?  Sounds like they do great work! :facepalm:

I did the Mazda track days thing, so I know how well the ragtop drives. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt with the RF based on my faith in Zoom Zoom and the glowing reviews I've read

Amazon should be able to drop a Miata via aerial drone with two day Prime shipping.

Enclosed. I had second thoughts about it going through the snowy/salty Rockies and Cascades. It was a $400 premium over open transport.

In the live action films, he was a Peterbilt and then a Western Star.  Pretty sure he was a Freightliner in the cartoons.

Most call him a Freightliner K100, but I believe he was actually a Hino.

Hino's grille is too wide and Prime didn't have a one-piece windshield.  Definitely an old Freightliner cabover.

Theres another older model that was much closer, but I can't remember what it was called.
