Oh god just what we need, another urge to flog the everloving snot out of the happy little beasts.

Why are you even on this site if the Miata doesn't embody all you adore?

Try as I might, I find nothing to like about this front end.

I'm sure's it's just coincidence, but one mousewheel scrollclick on this part has the FCA remain stationary while Serge bobs up and down.

That's great and all, and I really like these cars, but there's a reason the S values drop like stones while the E and C do not. All the gizmos are impocerous to fix yourself, and it only takes a $2K bill to fix the airmatic to make it seem like maybe not such a good buy.

I should follow up to this in the interest of completeness... I later purchased an 80 911, had a torrid love/hate relationship (snobby community, hard to work on) and got out right as the market took its recent stratospheric upswing.

Oh my god. That thing. My buddy briefly had a grey market one with the X50 (?) package. I swear I hit 100mph on a residential four-lane and the front end came off the ground.

Having such the history's largest repository of information at your fingertips you'd think would transform you into some enlightened, ideal human. Not me. Mostly for me it's meant that I can learn about weird cars I never knew about. And so I have. If you're not familiar with Fageol, I'm honored to introduce you.…

Hello my precious. How I miss thee.

Jezebel is the other site that starts with a J.

That hood cutline sure looks like a Breathe-Right. I'm breathing more freely just looking at it, in fact.

This is a good rationalization for not putting my money where my mouth is. Just hope I don't stumble across a killer used Focus ST in the meantime.

Trying to understand how a Jalopster would have this attitude... can't quite make it work.

Don't necessarily have to be first on the block, but by this time next year, track season will be over... and I will have spent another year thrashing this CTSV. Fun fact, the brake calipers change color when you put your boot into them.

Hi Tom -

That makes sense, thanks.

What's with all these fittings in the exhaust?

Well, be a have-not no-more because as it turns out, you don't actually have to be rich in order to appear rich. That's right, there are plenty of fake Rolexes, single-serving cat foods, and spray-on 'I don't have to work for a living' tans to go around, so what are you waiting for?

Since that GMC truck (and that improbable Bel Air) has established GM as still extant in this dark alternate world, having a general-use Chevy sedan doesn't seem unlikely, and the more understated '60s design vocabulary of this Biscayne seems probable for even a defeated, but still stylish, America.

Your ego is clearly out of control, so I will not tell you that this is hilarious.
