It’s a Divine Mirai-cle.

I still daily my ‘90 Miata. It’s been tracked, road-tripped, lumber-hauling, trailer-towing, off-roading, swamp-bogging, and generally happily abused for 200,000 miles. For me, it is always the answer.

I had an ‘84 Dodge Dayton Turbo (no Z). 2.2 non-intercooled turbo engine. Understeer, turbo lag, and torque steer out the wazzoo. Comfy velour seats that would zap you from 6 feet away. Worst car I ever owned. Dumped it in 1990 and bought a Miata. Best car I ever owned.

I know tires took a while to get wide but they definitely could have changed the track or made the bodies less bulbous. Was there just one…

How much noise can there be at 60mph top speed?

I love that thing. I especially like the simple interior. It’s a perfect driving appliance.

Oh I haven’t accepted it either.

In case you haven’t noticed, Journalism is dead. The only thing that matters is attention and Jalopnik gives Tesla plenty of that.

Appropriate since Porsches are shaped like cockroaches.

bubble wrap is bulky.

Meeting smart passionate people, working with them, experiencing their lives, and learning from them, is life’s joy. I am so glad you have found this.

+1 for classic Car Talk reference.

Snort or whinny?

That book is Torchnip.
