I have the car in the top picture and kids love seeing the popups.

Just got my Miata a a few weeks ago and I love that it's understood that we have to blink/wink every time we encounter each other

I miss my NA Miata dearly, but my back and legs sure don't 😞.

Using the popups was always the best part, partially because I liked to imagine she was helping me watch the road ahead of us.

From getting in and out or from stiff suspension? I can understand that. It's a long way up and down.

From being 6'5" / 195cm unfortunately. I unironically felt like the tall guy from the Simpsons. IIRC the suspension was OEM and I didn't think it was too stiff. I loved the ride height though. Really felt like zipping around in a go kart!

That would do it haha. At 6'1" I had to change the steering wheel and take off the sun visors. Comfortable for me but a snug fit.
