"Electric cars have been around as long as the gasoline car:"

Thought for sure I'd disagree, but after listening to it, you're right. That V6 is amazing.

The headlights in my miata are $4.50 a piece and never cloud like plastic lenses would, but if I crash those barn doors into you, you're gonna get a ton of beautiful glass embedded in your shins. There are tradeoffs to everything.

Looks like they were out on the highways. Plenty of country roads in the Shenandoah that are just as twisty and fun as BRP and Skyline drive, you just sacrifice some of the mountain ridge views for standard 55mph speed limits.

I'm just on the other side of the mountain from you, it's drizzly and not windy yet. My buddies are up in the mountains 4-wheeling in the snow.

Definitely at any backpacking store, probably in a tiny brown bottle.

Runs, brakes are an easy fix, and a new paint job won't cost you much more than a case of beer and some friends. NP all the way.

Did you read the part in the article where he built a CNC machine, and uses it to make money on the side? And how he needed to fit an 8.8 on the S2000, so he welded up the parts he needed because they were expensive online?

Yeah, nothing's more annoying than parents supporting kids who work hard to realize dreams.

" The Duetto, which also might be called the Spider, is likely to be built in Japan in partnership with Mazda."

Love how you think owning 4 cars is ecologically unsound, but think that "success" is living on a concrete island where people are packed like sardines.

"Somehow no car on my list was available in the US..."

Hard for me to say CP since I'm thinking of throwing a turbo on my own element for a 200k birthday present...but the price and the "somebody else's project" factor are a little high.

Ever driven an interstate/tollway/any flat stretch in Texas? The speed limit is generally "when the car starts to shake, back off by 2mph"

What's the problem? Trucks that can't go 85 will (hopefully) stick to the slower roads, and trucks that can go 85 will pay extra for gas if they decide it's worth it to them.

There's an entire state called Virginia that isn't part of the DC shitstream, though. Generally, most people with the Shenandoah National Park plates will do twice your speed through the mountain passes, in a car 30 years older, while smoking a cigarette.

Hitting a tiny white ball 300 yards into a slightly-larger hole while wearing plaid pants is hard, but that doesn't make it worth watching, either.

The msrp of the 2007 S2000 was 140% the msrp of the 2007 miata.

I heard homeland security took over once they heard about bomb pops.

It's not like they were setting bags of dog shit on fire on your porch.
