Rewatching Top Gear – in season 7, if you’re a fan – and was reminded that the Mazda convertible is a good car – and a great car for the price. (Clarkson agreed with Hammond so it must be true.) I’d seen a lot around town but didn’t know much about them, so was rather dismissive. Turns out, for those who know cars, it’s a nerdy but great car. Again, I think that says something about this town.  There are a bunch of economical car nerds around here.  Can’t say that’s a bad thing.
