Re. the dealers and emails: I was looking for a car back in 2012. Called the dealership to see if they had the car on the lot that they had on their site. They let me know they had it there. I drove across Chicago to the southside to see it and it was not on the lot. The salesperson there said it wasn’t there. I…

The rolling one is cool and all that, but it still has the same footprint as any TV out there now. I can see how this would be helpful in specific condos that are all floor to ceiling windows... or houses, I guess.

If you want to fight a parking ticket in Chicago (and a lot of other places, I am sure), you are on the hook for court costs if they deny your claim. This ticket is already usually $60+, court fees are upwards of $100. So the city does everything it can to deter you from even trying to fight the ticket.

I think if they were all-wheel drive I could.

Was expecting the last one to be “Miata”.

I think I romanticize the unreliability of it. I also learned to drive on a ‘82 Fiat Spider. I will say that when they started up the 124 in the garage I jumped because the quad exhausts were so loud.

I own a 14 year old Land Rover and a 46 year old Triumph TR6... so I am not allowed to comment on reliability.

I know it’s not as loved, but we rented a (Fiat) Abarth 124 in Italy and I would buy that before the Miata. Sorry.

When I was fresh out of college and working for a Enterprise Rent a Car, we had a few Mazda 3 hatchbacks with the 2.3(?) liter in them, and they were among my favorite car to take out.

Yeah, but who placed the crickets there?!

Hey! It’s on BaT right now at $19k... I’m sure it won’t go any higher.

Back then the Kia Optimas and Hyundai Sonatas were in the Intermediate category (it went: Compact, Intermediate, Standard, Full), one below the PT. We could easily get away with putting someone in a Sonata before we could put them in a PT. Just so angry thinking about those PT Cruisers... ugh. Sorry.

We never had too many of the HHRs. In their defense; at least they were larger. The Dodge Magnums were hit or miss for renters.

They all have the exact same silhouette. The Lambo Urus has the same outline as a CX-9. “Oh, but the performance...” Go get a sports car then.

This would be CP if it had been kept in temperature controlled storage, fired up once a month, with a total of 1,500 miles, and a perfect engine at ANY price.

That’s cheaper than some clownshoes.

I’m like 99% sure they used a RetroSound radio in there. They are pretty pricey at ~$300 for the Bluetooth version, but it has been the best upgrade to our TR6 I’ve done.

What an odd quirk.

We got a Disco 2 last year. The first thing I did was replace the head gasket. Din’t “need” it, but I wasn’t going to wait until it did.
