Yeah, times sure have changed — I lived in Oregon in the early-mid 90’s when it was THE home of good beer. I’m in LA now and it’s amazing how good beer is everywhere. Firestone (founded by a childhood friend of a buddy) makes a stellar IPA, IMHO...

Pacific Northwest brew is the best liquid on Earth. Thank you for what you do, sir.

Wow. I think you just proved his point about “upstaters.” Enjoy your prolonged months under 20 feet of snow!

What kind of warped body shame do you live with?!

You really think LA cops are accountable?! Last month I had a cop run a red light and pass me into oncoming traffic at 50+ in a residential area without lights/sirens, then stop at a light — no emergency. I called the watch commander to complain and he said “So? What do you want me to do about it?”

A blog about cars and machines and driving is clearly NOT the website for you.

A very sensible explanation that the fraidy-cats who don’t check their mirrors will ignore because “fear!” and “not fair!”

Try reading.

A video of reckless morons speeding is why safe lane splitting is “stupid and unnecessary”? Perhaps we should ban candy bars because dumb ass diabetics can’t help themselves?

Well, it wouldn’t be the first time. There’s a grainy video of what appears to be Kadyrov cutting a Russian soldier’s head off during the first Chechan war. The journalist who brought it to light was assassinated. Naturally.

There’s no risk if it’s developed properly. Flyin’ Miata and 949 Racing have really good setups that preserver the legendary neutrality for very little and a bit more money, respectively.

Same. Exact. Spec.

I disagree as well. A six second 60 time is plenty fast and it will out-corner most any performance car, as is. With proper rubber, it’ll be very fast around the twisty tracks many of us time ourselves around.

Oh man, I looooooathed my Mazda6 (2014), and the dealer, AND dealing with Mazda when it became a lemon. I’m a massive Miata fan but I just couldn’t put myself through buying another car from them. It’s just a terribly run organization, I’m truly sad to say.

Mine had one when I bought it. Here’s what the track guys do to bring their tires/tools/gear:

You’re 100% totally wrong. It’s the most-sold “roadster”, over the course of 25 years. It’s been a terrible seller for years. That is absolutely the one bad thing to say about this car.

The warm happiness that video gives me is incalculable.

I love doing that but stopped — They always go absolutely batshit nuts but one guy actually tried to ram me.

I’m so tired of people like you (and the road rager described) who think every two lane road is a freeway. It’s NOT. If there is cross traffic, residences or turns of any kind on the left, the “fast lane” simply does not apply — you need to learn this.

No, I remember the time quite well. It was always hideously slow, even then.
