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.

@RepentandtrustintheLORD4 yea no

More Bob please. What an amazing guest and I can’t imagine how many cool stories he would have to share. A long form interview would be great

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!😎🙏

The wise words of Miata Daddy: "The last designer of the car is the buyer." Wish manufacturers still had this mentality.

Guys you struck absolute gold with Bob Hall, find some way to have him be part of things moving forward. Build him a 'home studio' anywhere he wants and let him crack jokes, fire you into segways or offer opinions. You can't run into someone this good and natural and not find a way to have him as part of the team.

Keep Bob, get rid of Jimmy as a Host.

This is one of the most likable dudes ive seen on a KZread show. I would absolutely love to see him on the show more or on a podcast talking more about the auto industry back then.

Witty, funny, humble and all around a good guy. Need more people like that

i don't give a shit about cars but i was entranced by Bob's sheer expertise. the kid was also really respectful and asked great questions. good job on this video guys

Kinda same, I assumed he'd be upset by the mods but as soon as he explained the issue with the first car I was like oh yeah he has a point, then he's also just hype to see all the stuff and is funny as hell, it's nice

Well said, I think my heart grew one size bigger listening to Bob's interview 😁

"We worked on it so long we didn't see the problem." Whether you're a detective on a cold case, a colorist on a blockbuster, or that guy trying to troubleshoot his dead-in-the-water Miata, this is a problem we all ultimately face at one time or another. Being humble enough recognize that and cede even a small portion of creative control over our work can bring significant benefits. Bob Hall seems like an excellent colleague and the first person you'd want to have around at any social gathering.

Well also it helps to talk the real creator inventor and designer of the Eunos Roadster Masakatsu Kato. This guy here absolutely did NOT create invent or have anything to do with the design of the car it was completely done by Masakatsu Kato. The real Father of the Miata which is actually called the Eunos.

There was a time of my life i would watch all donut media videos, i love it so much

I literally tried to LIKE this video every time BOB was roasting these modified cars… DUDE IS HILARIOUS. He also sounds looks a bit like the VIZZINI from PRINCESS BRIDE. GREAT VIDEO

I don't care about cars, even a little bit. I watched the entire video. Mr. Hall is incredibly entertaining, not to mention humble and respectful to those who made his work possible.

I don't remember the last time I didn't skip into a video, but it happened today. What a guy!

I proudly own a 1990 NA and I am the 5 th owner. It is a local car and all of the owners, have been acquainted. I possess the complete history of the car and own the original shop manual used to prep the car for its initial sell when purchased from the show room floor. I cannot tell you how many times I have told the Miata Story. How the car model came to be is unique and his chance meeting with the chairman of Miata, changed the future for the better for drivers world over. This sums it up. My wife ask me once, " Do you know why I love the little red car?" No. I replied " Because it makes you smile." Driving a piece of automotive history does make me smile.

I don't know how this for recommend to me, but dude was genuinely one of the most entertaining interviewees ive watched in awhile

Legend doesn’t do this guy justice, such a funny and humble character! Would love to see more of him! Thank you bob for playing an influential and iconic role in car culture!

What an _awesome_ guest. Not just because of who he is but he's great in front of a camera. Genuinely hilarious.

Love this guy, thank you for putting him on.

Bring this guy back. He's really funny
