An old gf’s Dad had one, which I took for a spin on country roads around Greensboro a few years ago. It felt way faster than the 1.8T New Beetle I was driving at the time, and in my mind’s eye, also substantially faster than my current 95M NA. That said, I know lots of other Miata people who complain about the…

What species- especially from ones that we would consider intelligent like apes and whales- actively kills of their weak? Isn’t it mostly predators, humans, disease, and exposure that take care of that?

In words I got from a former cop: A cop’s job is to apprehend suspects and investigate crimes, not dish out street justice. We have the justice system to take care of justice.

I’ll just leave this here, man.

I do not follow. What does this have to do with speed limits?

It’s always been called German, at one point many many centuries ago, a little while post-Charlemagne, the “Holy Roman Empire” was changed to “Holy Roman Empire, German Nation” (Heilige Römische Reich, deutscher Nation). It’s been a cultural and linguistic identity for a long, long time, despite all of the political…

I don’t think there’s a causal relationship between speed and road conditions. A car weighs what a car weighs regardless of how fast it’s going (relativity notwithstanding). From a certain POV, it might be better if a car goes fast- it’s on the road for less time per trip if it has a higher average speed!

Any convertible in the summer in South Carolina.
Your options are: a) sweat and hope you don’t run into anyone with your colossal blind spots and
b) sweat through everything, have great visibility, and nearly die of sunstroke.

I don’t have to sit in traffic much, but if I did I’d probably have to get get an auto beater to drive in stop-and-go with. More than 5-10 minutes of that and my left knee starts to go. Not very heavy clutch either.

Is it bad if I’m secretly wishing we get so bad again that when a win comes along, we’ll overpower the damn yellowshirts and rip down a goalpost? Because holy crap that’s fun.

Jesus, do they ever get tired of Seven Nation Army?

I think you’re looking for “reverence,” maybe that was autocorrect?
RCR is my go-to, just ahead of MCM. I loved Top Gear for a while but their characters started to fall flat after I plowed through a dozen seasons or so :/
Which I suppose is still a compliment.

It’s also a species of waterfowl, from which we get the name of the color.

Color this German major impressed. If we go with the an sich option, can we get someone to ‘shop it into a CDF painting?

Ma’am, you now have the distinction of the only person I’ve ever seen that knows Smart chassis designations. I offer you a tiny congratulations :P

Du kriegst von dieser Deutschlehrer eine Eins. Supertoll!

The ND Miata weighs 2,200lbs, which is the lightest it’s been since 1997. The only other thing it needs for a true return to form is pop-up headlights.

I can see what you mean with the borrowing of DTS design elements, but with the proportions I think we’re talking about the silhouette, which on this thing is awesome.

You’ll excuse me, then, for not wanting to call anything in SOIAF “Advanced” outside of Valyrian mettalurgy and animal husbandry, and the Valyrians as a civilization are extinct. Keep in mind that it’s not that “any magic is indistinguishable from advanced technology.”

I have CityMaps2Go, which runs off your phone’s GPS signal and stores the map to the phone, so it can find your present location even while in airplane mode. I don’t know how many rural areas it has, but if you’re just doing city travel it’s very, very handy. You can star and save specific location to it, as well.

That…
