Should you ever need to make a claim, hopefully they won’t attempt to weasel out of coverage based on that discrepency. Assuming your policy is issued for the VIN, that should make a good case that they have been informed what car it really is.

Also, while in space, Glenn became the first American astronaut to report seeing any sort of UFO, specifically the ‘fireflies’ that he saw out the Mercury’s window.

That is interesting to hear. I wonder how long that trend will continue as the insurance companies get familiar with “drift mode” and foolish owners start wrecking cars.

There are 2 problems with that:

I already want it really badly, and I can’t afford one.

Dodge finally put all-wheel drive in a Challenger, and it doesn’t get a V8 or a manual transmission.

Even on all season tires they were just pathetic in the snow.

So you could get the MX-5 with the 2.0L, or you could get an RX-5, which is the MX-5, but with a rotary engine.

NC, since that was the MX-5 in production at the same time as the RX-8. Quite a lot was shared— the NC chassis was essentially just enlongated.

Properly setup DSC is amazing at keeping a car pointed where you want in sliperly conditions.

Nine degrees isn’t that bad. A windchill that makes it feel like negative three or so: that is very bad. It physically hurts. It’s like knives stabbing you in the face and penetrating your brain.

People at my work: “You are going to drive that Miata in the winter?????”

Drivetrain makes nowhere near the difference as winter tires do.

A completely inexcusable way of saving a couple cents on manufacturing. If Mazda had insert molded a small piece of aluminum to support the pivot, it would be fine and only added a few cents to the cost of the part (casting, molding, and cost engineering is my day job). Instead they went the cheap route. Or…

I won’t get into the LONG list of problems I’ve had on my MS3, but suffice it to say I won’t be shopping for a Mazda again anytime soon.

If you’re driving an automatic, who cares how many speeds you have? Do you even think about it?

However, they need to differentiate themselves somehow and I say dealer experience and an underdog role.

That fluffly powerdry snow is like ball bearings when it is covering ice.

In REALLY severe icy conditions, I’ve seen the city plow trucks drive backwards on the roads, just so they can drive on the sand they are spreading.
