I’m currently in the market for a new home in Thousand Oaks, CA and I’ve found some amazing places with beautiful neighborhoods and competitively priced homes... but they have HOA’s... those HOA dues have been pretty consistent at about $250-$400 a MONTH.

Being ridiculous, impractical, and totally exaggerated is what they’re going for. It’s basically a car culture for people that want cars that they would have thought were fucking amazing when they…

There have been a few metaphoric replies to my comment that I feel I need to address. Yes, your car does a lot for you and no, I don’t want to reach down into my transmission with my hands and push gears into place while holding back the clutch. No, I don’t want to fire my spark plugs manually. No, I don’t want to have…

What? The fact that this is auto only proves that it absolutely takes outright performance as a priority over enjoyment and connection.

The Miata is the car you are talking about, not the A110.

These are contradictory statements.

Claire, you know it will end up like this.
