No, this is in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. Don’t worry. We’re as close to a piece of shit as the states.

The guy I bought my NA8 from sold it because he was gonna buy an automatic one. He was old, and his knees were starting give him problems. He had multiple Miatas over the years and always came back to them because they were the most fun to him. 

Good point. I’ll revise my statement: unless you have a disability or are seriously tracking the thing, you can and should learn how to use three pedals. It’s like learning to cook: at first it’s intimidating, then you will make a lot of mistakes but after that it’s fantastically fun!

Yeah, the time my wife had to have some foot surgery — minor stuff, but kicking a clutch was out for a while — made us glad we happened to have a decent car with an automatic in the family fleet.

Exactly, the whole manual elitist thing sounds like what you’d expect a beer gutted retiree harley owner to say- “should have bought a real one,” etc.

Haha.This is Texas: cyclists are always presumed to be in the wrong because they should have been in a truck with firearms, like all normal people.

Seriously, dude doesn’t inspect the first car and blames them when he finds damage, and Carvana goes above and beyond and agrees to fix/replace (for all they knew he could have damaged it himself after he bought it).

Repairman - making a guess as to the root cause without any information regarding the accident, I bet lockout/tagout procedures were not properly followed.  Happens too frequently in industrial accidents.

I’d never buy from a place like carvana where the inability to haggle is somehow lauded as a good thing, but:

And for accuracy:

If he did this with a private seller or about 95% of used car dealers wouldn’t he have been SOL?

Taco-squat in the press photo, classic.

Or, look at it this way, you paid ONLY the price of a truly shitty TV or laptop for the privilege of driving about 1000 km all over Europe. I’m pretty sure I know which I’d pick.

Oh, I’m firing up my keyboard all right. But not to lambast you or anyone else about being enthusiastic about a Prius, but rather to take to task anyone that dares try to do that.

As much as I love thumpers, IMO this should remain in its crated form. Things like this are original only once; yes, it would still be “original” if assembled, but this is the larval stage and very rare. If I bought it, it would be placed on a plinth in the library purely as a decoration.

I’m so fuckin sick of this take.

Id agree but modern cabin design doesn’t really give you a view out of the rear glass anymore.

Let’s say that you’re on a business trip and your significant other locks their keys in the car. They can call you and you can unlock it remotely without involving a locksmith. That’s the first thing I thought of. I’m sure there’s more.

If this was Porsche, it would cost $2100 more for the privilege removing equipment.
