Why it’s so difficult to own just one Miata!!

This week on the West of Tulsa Show, our guests are Ralph and Ryan Gold with R&R Motorworks in Goleta, California. They are a father and son team that have a passion for everything Mazda Miata. Ralph is more old school and loves his muscle cars including a 1964 Chevrolet Corvette and a 1971 Oldsmobile 442. His son Ryan is into JDM and the Miata’s. He taught his father a thing or two about the benefits and the fun of owning, not just one Miata, but more than one.

The Gold’s talk about the process which allows them to work together so well. They say it was a learning curve, mostly by Ralph about the new way of doing things. Ryan believes the Miata is one of the best cars ever made and considering the fact that the Miata is about to celebrate its 35th anniversary, he could be right. The car is now a classic.

Ralph and Ryan also talk in detail about their customers and what it takes to modify a Miata for the track whether it's set up to race or autocross. They talk about the aftermarket support for Miatas and the performance you can get out of them when you turbocharge or supercharge one of these small, nimble cars.

We also discuss why it’s so difficult for some Miata lovers to own just one car. Affordability, reliability and just plain fun are some of the reasons why. And the Gold’s explain how they were put on the map in some circles when they built a car for the Fast ‘n Furious movie series. That car was a beautiful blue Mitsubishi Evo. And finally, we breakdown the pluses and minuses of owning a daily driver or race-ready Miata.
