Never driven a midget, but did test drive a late model MGB.
I had tons of leg room as a 6'2 guy, but my head was hitting the top, very slow for today's standards, but it's about the simplicity and nimbleness.
The Miata was based off of the Lotus Elan, but brought Japanese reliability (something English cars are NOT known for!)
Small cars are just more fun, but I really miss my 1987 town car, smoooooth sailing.
Speaking of rides, I am now at Les Schwab's getting a new set of shoes on my truck. 700 bucks for a set of four. And that was the cheapest I could get.
