They are summer rated touring tires... just low-rolling resistance.

GREAT to watch!

I agree with you too, I have tons of family in GJ (as well as all over CO) and I love that area!

Just Perfect.

The front isn’t SO bad... though a combo of 2015 CR-V and Lexus anything... but... that rear end, haunches and that bizarre upswept window... frightening.

HIDEOUS body kit. It ruins what fluid lines were in the design of this car. (I sold mine after a year and 2200 miles... back to the Miata camp... FR-S had no soul)

RE: Neutral... I have a 2015 Legacy... it’s ride is better, it’s quieter, MUCH nicer interior, and finally it has WAY better tech than a Forester. Personally, I am not a fan of the jacked up wagon, even if we have three in the family. :-)

Awesome story. Also good that Mazda had/has some of the easiest manual trans to drive. I’ve taught a few people in my now sold 93 Miata LE for the same reason. It’s SO easy to learn the balance, and bite points of the clutch. I taught myself on my first car (Renault) in the alley behind our house. I just drove up and…

Couldn’t agree more. That does not mean that I don’t like my G500, but it’s awaiting a tow to the mechanic for work on one of the multitude of computers that, for unknown reasons, are no longer talking to each other. *rolls eyes*

I am talking about the official versions imported into the US, starting in 2002... they cheapened a LOT of interior materials, added lots of computers, etc. I own one, I am quite familiar with where they’re made and where the problems with those models are. (electronics, window regulators, door handles, rust, seat…

Yes and No... this one was likely a Europa import but a later one. The MBUSA versions were not quite as reliable. Ask a guy who owns one. (me) Tank like, yes. Reliable? Not so much. Amazing? Yup.

Thanks man. Fascinating that we have the Tafel in common also. Cheers.

my Miata GT with the house in the background:

Actually, my house IS a Tafel Usonian (Louis Hamilton House, Haven Ave) and I am quite familiar with your friend’s house... I was the one that connected the dots with them and Preservation Racine in order to get the ball rolling on that house to save it. :-)

You might to swing by my house some time... also FLLW related. :-)

My favorite version of this car, the sedan is awesome. I voted NP, but it is a bit “rich” on price... but, this one seems too good. If it all checked out, the price is reasonable.

Yes, I live in town. :-) I have heard that there is a blue one in and out of town but if you have seen a silver one, it’s gotta be mine.

Ahhh.... sigh.... I used to live on Alki Beach at 64th Ave-SW! *sadly missing*

I LOOOOVE my G500... but, gotta be honest here... I would not drive it like that. Things get expensive fast. LOL
