I have a Goldwing (GL1000) and an Alfa Spider, they are both fun, but they are very different experiences. I would say you would probably get a more similar experience between a Mazda Miata and a Mazda CX-5 with the windows rolled down than you would between a Miata and any motorcycle.

I think you haven’t spent enough time driving an electric car if you think adding a manual would make it more fun, and I am all for driving manual in just about any other kind of car. Except for my electric car, all my other cars are manual, I even converted a car that never had a manual option to manual. I just can’t…

MCAS does not operate when the autopilot is active, it is only on while the plane is being flown manually

They had more of a deeper tone vs. the screaming sound of early turbofan jets.

So the only problems that actually had to do with it being an Alfa was that they needed to replace the fuel pump and differential? That really doesn’t strike me as being that bad for a first model year high performance car like that. Certainly not great especially considering the time off the road, but doesn’t exactly…

That’s my mom’s idea of a fun car lol
