Anyone else find it really amusing when the Chinese spokespersons express their unyielding commitment to international laws and norms?

I think it’s precisely because these athletes/corporations are public figures: their podium is very different from ours as private citizens. Whether you or I speak out on things like human rights abuses or corruption, is really moot - we have a limited audience (if an audience at all). For us, we don’t really move the…

Sgt. Kerry Schmidt of the Ontario Provincial Police put it best:

There are differing levels of bad - think Dante’s Circles of Hell.

...not to mention staffing issues also impacting luggage services, so you end up with your bags going somewhere other than your destination (or ending up donated to charity without your consent).

I’d be lying if I said I’d never entertained the thought that I bought the wrong car in the S2000 (instead of a NA or NC)... Consumables are a fair bit more expensive as well (the VTEC song is nice, but I thought the NA 1.8L had its own charm and lovely note as well). Enjoy that lovely car.

I’ve never driven the NC but I could see a PRHT being a great year-round daily.

I was chatting with a buddy who owns a NA with the 1.8, and we were on the subject of engine swaps (I was browsing the ad for a $5,500 NA with the 1.6L). If I had to engine swap a NA or NB Miata, it absolutely would not be a V8 - seems like more power is a bit of a betrayal of the car’s original philosophy - would…

Yup - with great power comes great responsibility (but more importantly, it should come with great brakes).

I feel like Miatas are the “black swan” to this hypothesis.

That might make you a cordless massage “wand”

My wife is very happy with my Honda Fit.

I was gonna make a Subaru BRZ joke (let’s face it, that’s the only sports car in Subaru’s line up - come at me, WRX Bros!) with the caveat that I had a BRZ, and am not a lesbian.

Rhino realized it was now in Florida, and decided that to be a fate worse than death.

I moved into my apartment, cramming almost everything into my Celica GT.

VW today is by no means an angel (Dieselgate, anyone?), but it is reductive to say because its early history was intertwined with with the little man born on 4-20, is the exact same as the company whose current leader publicly courts far-right conspiracy nutjobs, and has been slammed with numerous complaints of…

...and frankly, the spider-face headlamps made it much more interesting than what we got in North America.

Neutral:

Do it. There’s nothing that says you can’t have an EV later.

I’m seeing echoes of the front end of a 1996 Prelude, and I like it.
