Since its arrival at the beginning of the summer, our Four Seasons Mazda Miata has rarely been parked long enough for the engine to cool. Imagine my surprise and delight, then, when its keys fall into my hands for a weekend; a weekend, as luck would have it, that coincides with my cousin's wedding. But the wedding is only going to take up half of Saturday, so I need to decide what else I can do to make the most of my time with the little convertible. Since the event is taking place in and around the city of East Lansing, the home of my alma mater, Michigan State University, it seems like a no-brainer to take the Miata to visit the campus, a place I haven't been in more than five years.
