If you mean the new ND Miata, it could have something to do with the fact that the ND hasn’t sold well so far. Fewer than 10,000 MX-5 sold last year in the U.S.A.

Sure, but my point about it being derivative and fat still stands, right?

Definitely a great looking idea, but it never looked like a Lotus. People will continue to drool over the designs, but as you mentioned, they were and continue to be generic and derivative. Lamborghini hadn’t released the Huracán yet when this design was shown (which the C-pilar and general shape resemble), but the…

Mike “The Miata King” has been helpful a few times for me.

Yeah, I’ve heard about the rust issues. I especially hear about it with Mazdas, but I could see it being a larger problem with the older Japanese cars in general. I guess if the climate isn’t friendly to the car and neither are the people, they aren’t going to last. In Florida, even with a low incidence of rust, I…

Is it just a coincidence that I never see them posted, or do older Japanese cars just not exist up in the northeast? RSX isn’t really old enough to count. By “old” I mean mid’90s or later.

Seems a bit crack-ish to me. By now, a 13 year old wagon isn’t worth that, I don’t care how rare it is. Even if it is rare, it’s based on an extremely common cheap car; the worst kind of rare. They are not bad cars. I had my Lancer for 8 years and it was basically trouble-free. The four speed auto is ancient, but…

I don’t think I’d ever try to talk someone out of their Lancer. I used to own one. I probably still would if I didn’t need the money when I sold it. Sorry you’ve had to deal with some annoying folks in the Miata community. My wife also hates convertibles and is just sort of okay with my Miata. But you can’t really…

There’s a really good taqueria right across the street from there. I took a vacation to California last month, which was when I saw this truck full of Teslas out in front of the place.

I agree. This is the first generation I’ve liked since the EK/EM1 days.

It really is the best day to drive all year.

As seen from the end that didn’t get hit with the ugly stick. I do like that they finally ditched the clear tail lights.

Maybe it’s because I work in photography, but I see the act of them editing it as very offensive. If the cigarette’s inclusion was such a controversial thing (and it isn’t), then they should have chosen a different image to use. I really hate when people think it’s okay to edit history to make it fit in with their…

From what I know from a relative, in Florida you can deny the test but you’ll automatically lose your license for 18 months. It’s a pretty big inconvenience for the test denier’s family for the next year and a half if they have to be driven everywhere, but they get to keep a clean record.

Never seen one with an R34 front end. I actually really like the way it looks with the 3 spokes. I had no idea this place was here in Tampa. Might have to go check them out.

Neat, I saw the Bugnaughty at Amelia Island this year. Had no idea it was a replica.

Ugly and difficult to use with its tiny horn buttons. I’ve nearly been hit a number of times, because I was pushing the center of the wheel where there is no regular horn button. As much as I’d like to go Nardi Classic, I’ll probably just switch to a Nardi NB wheel to keep the airbag.

I own an ‘07 Rabbit (basically MkV Golf) and you hit the nail on the head with the Mazda 3. If we were trading in the VW, that’s probably what I’d go for. Not sure I’d ever see myself in a Prius though. Though this is talking about diesel owners and our car is regular old gasoline. We would probably have a GTD by now…

I’m a little surprised you didn’t go with Sex on Wheels. Still TKK so I’m not complaining.

New or old, almost all of them are.
