  • I don't know what I find harder to believe, the fact you got Daddy Miata on your show, or Daddy Miata is an absolute G.
  • @gaugea

  • @TheRealOTK
    This guy has an incredible sense of humor, please get him on Donut for literally any reason.
  • Was not expecting the designer of the Miata to be a comedian. He’s genuinely funny.
  • @JohnGeorgeHill
    I met Bob and his twin brother up in the canyons of the Hollywood Hills. We all used to race up there between Coldwater Canyon and Mullholland. Bob and Jim were incredibly funny and we always had a good time talking cars. They both spoke Japanese too. We loved the Lotus Elan, so when Bob worked at Mazda, he was able to get them to recreate the Lotus by making the Miata. Really happy for his success.
  • Bob is such a cool guy. Like dang. He absolutely smashed this episode. Jimmy absolutely was the right choice to host this episode also. Had a few good laughs and learned a whole lot too!
  • @CoRsaMan
    No way you actually got the inventor himself on the channel. Really shows the dedication to the channel, props!
  • @Slyder42
    Bob is a treasure. He speaks his mind and very insightful! Great sit down interview.

    He is hilarious…huge props for the designer/engineer of the Miata to be on the channel. You have to have him on more.🙌🏾
  • @pilkjaer
    Engineer at day, stand-up comedian at night. This dude is a legend. Thank you so much for inviting him.

    "the last designer is the buyer" - that should be framed by donut. This is gold and pure genius !!!
  • @popcorn_tuber
    bring Daddy Miata more on any episodes. that guy is gold.
  • @hosskatt-8317
    I watched this on a whim… I was absolutely enthralled the whole time. The love for this car really came through.
  • @TommyOnTheRun
    Getting roasted by the inventor is CRAZY! And his character is perfect for the Miata cult!
  • @Spo8
    The fact that he immediately deflected the compliments and instead directed them to other people speaks volumes. What a cool and hilarious dude.
  • Exactly what I would expect the designer of the Miata to be like. Only someone this fun and lighthearted could make a car like that.
  • This is incredible! The Miata has a special place in my heart. A sleek design, smooth shifting, convertible and fun to drive! The real test was taking one on a road trip. I got good gas mileage and most of all it was comfortable driving for several hours! Props and appreciation from a Dodge Girl!😎🙏
