I understand the manual sentiment, but I can tell you that there is still a lot of fun to be had in the auto Miata, and I’m really glad they offer one so I can enjoy it.  I can’t use the pedals. I have to drive with only my hands, but the car still puts a huge smile on my face.

I want to give you so many damn stars.

Thanks, now I’ll have to stay at my desk for at least 10 minutes before I can walk around the office again.

Ok, Mazda. I want you to hear me out on this...

That sounds like the midwest for sure...I miss Kansas but I received an offer I couldn’t refuse to move up to Michigan to work for an OEM (and go Wildcats!)

Thank you! Honda has the best CVT, OP just owns a subaru.

Honda’s CVTs are the best in the business, not Subarus.

It’s funny how Epic talks about being against Valve’s “anti-competitive” practices yet are quick to make all of these games exclusive to one storefront meaning there’s no competition. Can’t really have it both ways. The only people winning in all of this are the publishers cashing all of these checks from Epic.

Streets of Rage 2 is literally my favorite game of all time and I cannot wait for this.

Streets of Rage 2 is still, IMO, one of the best retro games of all time. It holds up INCREDIBLY well, it’s so well designed, well balanced, the music is incredible, the art direction perfect for the style. Every level is a masterpiece in simple sidescrolling design. It’s one of few older games, and one of few games…

I’m excited for this game. I played SoR2 so much as a kid that I could beat it without continues on the hardest difficulty; not so much today. Lol. I’ll be buying this when it comes out. 

All tweets are bad, and everyone who tweets should be held in contempt.

Out of pure curiosity, how much cheaper would cars be if we told the NHTSA to fuck off and let manufacturers sell cars with 0-star crash ratings?

You assume far too much by just eyeballing the Civic hatch. The sedan couldn’t carry a 60 inch TV (passthrough too narrow), or a full set of 20 inch wheels and tires + a thicker intercooler + tools at the same time...my GTI couldn’t do either of those two tasks and my last sedan sure as hell wasn’t up to the task. Or…

Except that the 1ZZFE in that config is known for blowing itself up.

I assumed that in this case LA = Louisiana. But I could be wrong. There’s no faster vehicle on the road than a rental truck with a driver who isn’t responsible for its long-term maintenance.

LA in this case is Louisana.  

I thought that at first also, but then realized he meant Louisiana to Georgia.

Yea man - did the same, Detroit to Dallas, 20 hours total. Thing was an absolute beast, and I should have known the issues I’d have when I could barely get it out of the Penske lot in Michigan. It was a blast taking it to the McDonald’s at West Memphis where we stopped for the night. (That’s a real shithole trucker…

Probably not. All you’re doing with the injection is putting the brine inside the bird. So if you also brine it in the same solution all you’re doing is getting a jump start.

Cheap mass market bacon, hams, and corned beef are made by injection for that reason. It vastly speeds up the process of curing by putting more…
