Thread-topic: Lucas kiss my $$
There's something to that. I drove my Midget for the first time since
late last fall the other day, and I was very surprised at how quick the
steering was. But it didn't take me long to get the feel of the car
back.

Well... 

while Dave didn't think much of the 
MazdaSpeed Miata, it obviously was 
sufficiently different from the one he 
is used to, to the extent he didn't feel 
at once "as one with the machine". 

Since it takes time/experience to become 
comfortable with a "new" machine, Dave's 
being not immediately "at home" in this 
model can be taken one of two ways.... 

I take it as a "positive" rather than a 
"negative". I bet with a little "more time 
in the seat" (along with decent wheels!:), 
Dave MIGHT feel differently?? 

What do you think, David?? :)

P.S. - I'm "typed" in a lot of airplanes...... 
I always felt "uncomfortable" initially but 
in less than 200hrs in type, I could do trix 
with 'em and land them safely in positively 
horrendous conditions....takes a while to 
"feel at home" in a "new" or "different" 
machine.
