Another day, another Miata post on good old DT. We’ve done a fastback, blown heart transplant and cream puff and there was once even a diesel conversion featured, so now today’s answer is a plug-in electric conversion.

The 6th installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise was released this past weekend, and while the first will be fondly remembered as an automotive themed remake of Point Break (complete with Paul Walker’s stunningly accurate rendition of the Keanu Reeves “coma” style of acting) this latest version looks more like a crash fest […]
