Power steering, assisted brakes, and critical safety systems. I don’t know how you tend to assess risk, but that last point might be a factor for some situations (pro-tip, the first two should be factored in as well, especially for users who are weak or frail, but the fallback is when those two fail and an accident…

It was taken down, a long long time ago. Long story short, guy was talking about his SR20 powered Lotus Esprit on the offtopic forum here, but never posted pictures of said car. Then he told a story about how he was pulled over in the car for speeding, and the cop asked him if he was the guy online with the SR20…

No, this was probably 3 or 4 years ago now. But the meltdown was memorable enough.

I have too! I had a beer with him. He’s a great guy. I really dug ClownSandal, it was a hoot to drive. =)

We’re trying, it’s a long war. =)

But it has to be in brown rose gold.

That was one of the bravest, and most open and honest speeches, let alone eulogies, that I have ever seen, heard, or read. This is eloquence and faith on levels which I do not have anything to compare to.

Or, you know, you could stop trying to justify your actions and own them like a proper adult. Actions and choices have consequences.

I know a lot of people who enjoy cars with more power than they likely will ever need, and I appreciate them, and their cars (and when you suddenly need to jump from 60 to 85 on a highway, being able to do so nearly instantaneously is awesome). I’m probably the target market for the car that I keep coming back to as…

The 2016 Miata might change your mind a tad. By being lighter and with a host of other little things, they’ve managed to get the base model Miata into the sub 6.0 second 0-60 times. It looks a lot nicer as well.

Every. Single. Damn. Time. Great beer selection, pretty awesome food, accommodating for nearly all diets.

Mine too! ;)

That was wonderfully written and researched. Thank you Raph for continuing down these amazing rabbit holes. Well done.

I think you largely nailed it, though your playing to the weird musical territory lines of the 90’s was a trip down memory lane which few really need to revisit.

Must have been my poor timing or luck. Also, the surface street conditions reminded me of home (Tucson - i.e. horrible. Potholes everywhere, construction, etc).

I just got back from Detroit... No Shit.

Congratulations to you all. But don’t think for a second that we don’t see that Jason is really in control.
