@patina.research This is a tribute to the Mazda MX-5 Miata, and more importantly to Tom Matano, who passed away a few days ago. Known to many as the father of the Miata, he played a key role in designing the first-generation NA Miata and was also responsible for the FD3S RX-7. Tom was an incredible person with a wealth of history you can look up. Thank you for bringing so much joy and happiness with your creations. It’s not about speed or size—it’s about fun. #miata #mx5
