Jettas being for gay dudes (and high school girls) I think ended with the transition to the US-only Jetta. Jettas are now for nobody, it appears.

Present and accounted for - sorry for choosing the quieter and more livable RF.

I have never understood the perception of Miatas as “chick cars.” They are the closest thing available to the Triumph, MG, Austin-Healy, etc. roadsters of my youth, i.e., hard core sports cars.

Duh - just don’t flip it ;) Plus adding a roll bar isn’t too hard.

If you’re flipping a miata you have many things to worry about

I wonder if that is in part because folks in the market for one knew the next more powerful generation was around the corner so they held pat.

Almost.  I think she should be wearing a bikini.  Otherwise, OK.

Far too coherent.

I’d ask you to not give him any ideas, but fuck it. He can’t read. 

but, but, but... It will assuredly be ‘THE HIGHEST RATED TELEVISION THING IN THE HISTORY OF TELEVISION THINGS [five exclamation points]’

Even if they made an advance copy available, could you really trust Trump not to ad-lib or just start his usual stream-of-partial-consciousness babbling? I’m not sure I’d even bother.

TV exec texts: “He calls us fake news all the time, but needs access to airwaves… If we give him the time, he’ll deliver a fact-free screed without rebuttal. And if we don’t give him the time, he’ll call every network partisan. So we are damned if we do and damned if we don’t.”

Correct, the bully doesn’t care if you are nice to him or not, he’s going to beat you up and take your lunch money regardless, the least you can do is stand up to him and not take it with a smile and a shrug.

Here’s a transcript of his planned speech:

It’s not even like they are choosing between doing what’s right and making money. Those two things dovetail....you aren’t selling ad time for a presidential address.

I mean it has its own memes to the point it doesn’t even need those.

So am I. At first I was like: “Woohoo!” but I realized that maybe they played their hand WAY too early and are about to get nerfed real hard real quick. Still, maybe the Caddies will overshoot and get nerfed before race day.

Zoom zoom indeed. Now IMSA will probably dial them back because they were bad-fast all weekend long. Never thought I'd see the day where having to dial back the Mazdas was even a possibility. I hope the first win happens at Daytona or Sebring and I'm there to celebrate appropriately (and heavily)!

Zanardi is nothing less than a superhero. The dream is to see him win the class at Daytona, Sebring...maybe even Le Mans?

Save. Cut costs anywhere you can. Update your resume.
