The side profile looks like a Chrysler Crossfire.

The thing I hat, and this really grind my gears. Is people buying cars with no intention to keep them and just to sell them. I can’t say how many times I’ve gone through the auction sites and seen new cars with less than one tanks worth of mileage on them being sold (I remember there was a huge craze back with the…

Hoe about some actual colors again? I’m tired of the million shades of gray and white, the muted maroons and dark blues, I want some real colors again. Bring back bright yellow, orange, red, green, etc. I want parking lots to look like a bowl of skittles. It would make everything so much better. 

My luckiest save was also at the race track, Laguna Seca specifically. I was there for Miata reunion in my new to me ND Miata, that I had gotten about 6 months prior. I’ve owned a couple RWD vehicles before, but I’ve never taken any to a track before, so I was quite excited to go to Laguna Seca as my first track day!…

Yeah, Subaru definitely didn’t spend the money on the interior. On mine I actually swapped the seats out for a pair of seats from a BRZ and that was one of the best upgrades ever. They retain the heated seat, but are way more comfortable. To be fair, I have driven some WRXs from this generations where the shifters…

Not one vehicle, but a group of 3. I think they’re all fantastic in their own ways, and I’d be hard pressed to get rid of any one of them.

I have a 2-Door 2021 Bronco with the 7 speed manual (Black Diamond Trim actually!) and it is actually pretty easy to live with. It’s pretty composed on the road and actually really comfortable. For me, being single, the 2 door is as much practicality as I need. With the rear seats down, the trunk is actually pretty…

It makes me sad, because I want to V8 swap my ND, but FM were the only folks that offered a conversion kit for it and there currently isn’t anything else. Ever since I got to ride in Indy (the shop V8 ND that just sold) I’ve wanted to cram a LS3 into my ND. It’s still very much a composed car, but over 3 times the…

Flyin’ Miata actually started out as a Euro shop before they got into Miatas. Then once Bill got his hands on a Miata, he slapped a turbo on it, and the rest is history. 

I think it would be fun to see a Raptor version of the Everest that they sell down under. 

I built my Own “Crosstrek WRX” I lifted my 2014 WRX hatchback. The way I see it, it has the ground clearance of a Crosstrek with the performance of a WRX. For maximum lols, I replaced the Impreza badge on the trunk with a Crosstrek. I’ve legitimately had people come up to me saying that they didn’t know Subaru made a…

I wanted to buy a Focus RS when it came out. I was going to trade my 14 WRX hatch in on it. That was until the dealership decided they wanted to charge an extra $10k over sticker. I wound up not buying it and it sat on the dealer lot for the next 12 months. They called me later asking if I was still interested, but I…

In my 2021 Bronco, it has to be the auto start/stop. This is the first vehicle I’ve owned with it and it’s super frustrating. I always wind up turning it off as soon I a start it. It’s annoying and in a vehicle like the Bronco, a pretty useless feature when driving around. Even with it off, I’m still averaging 21 MPG…

I credit the car my Dad had when I was growing up for getting me into cars. In 1995, he bought a brand new Mustang GT in red. I still have a picture of me helping him screw on the license plate at the dealership. I was always excited when I got to ride in Dad’s car. I loved the noise of the V8 and I always had a smile…

Sweet! I’ll be in a white ND also with a ton of FM parts on it! What I love is that Miata modifications are affordable. I used to own a Z4M, and while there was decent support for that platform, it was expensive to modify. The Miata is much cheaper! 

Yeah, that has me worried as well. Just because you can afford it, does not mean you have the skills to drive it.

Summer Camp was amazing! This was only the second year that I’ve gone since I got my Miata back in 2019, but it was a blast. I did the autocross on Friday which was a ton of fun, and then they led a drive over the Colorado National Monument in the evening and then Saturday was filled with tech seminars at FM HQ along…

I just drove this exact stretch of road last weekend on my way back from Flyin’ Miata’s Summer Camp and at no point would I have felt comfortable doing a 140mph on any stretch of that road in any vehicle. The problem is that cars are too fast, speed is too accessible, and people are way to dumb to be responsible with…

I recently flew out to Cincinnati Ohio to pick up a TTRS and then proceeded to drive it back to Arizona. That was a 1700+ mile road trip. It was worth it for the car since it was special! Audi only made 1407 MkII TTRS for the North American market. This to my knowledge was the only way to get a modern Audi 5 cylinder…
