I have one place I take my wife’s unmodified car to, and another place I take my heavily modified car to. You can take a guess why...

Registration does require safety inspection (https://www.dmv.virginia.gov/vehicles/#vehiclereg.asp). Emissions is only required in some counties/localities in VA.

Now I know the Instagram timelines may not be fully on point, but the temp tag is on the vehicle with a post date in early March. Which the timeline would suggest this was inspected post build.

I am certain whoever passed this thing for VA inspection so it could be registered will be getting a visit from the State Police in the next couple of days.

Always the answer ;)

Those damned streaks from the wipers in the middle of the windsheild that happen when they start to go, or have shit all over them drives me bonkers. Come to think of it...a clean windshield is a total pet peeve for me.

OMG so much this. Everytime, all I can think is “THAT’S NOT HOW IT WORKS PEOPLE”

The Panasport’s look great on that thing.

“Miata twin cam uses a chain” inaccurate statement. Miata’s didn’t get a chain until the MZR in the third generation (NC). All Mazda B series engines had belts (with a non-interference design)

Heh. Dupont is actually one of the better circles in DC, if you can believe that!

Great minds and all...shudda scrolled before posting :P

I have to navigate Thomas Circle daily for my work commute. Lane markings are apparently just suggestions, particularly for MD drivers.

Now if you were referring to the Yes song...yes it’s brilliant:

“Roundabouts are brilliant bits of traffic engineering that keeps everything moving smoothly...”

I am assuming you’ve never encountered the roundabouts/traffic circles in DC as they are just about the exact opposite of the above quoted statement. 

I have two:

Wouldn’t the compression ratio remain the same, since the cylinder & piston characteristics remain the same (still going from 1lr p/c to .1lr p/c)? What changes dramatically with FI is the pressure ratio?

Nothing. Which is why Muller referred it to the Southern District of New York rather than include it as part of the special council investigation.

Dr. Goodhead always gets me (Moonraker)

20 over the posted in VA is reckless driving - a misdemeanor - meaning you get a criminal record.
