The future of monster Miata conversions may be bright.

So you’re saying you want women to see you as a George “Clone-y”?

Dang. No joke. Some cool cars. I like the red BMW. What’s the slanty/sharky-looking nose called?

I never noticed the head-tilt because I couldn’t look past the duck-lips.

I tried getting away with using (Eibach) lowering springs without a matching shock- on a MkV R32. It rode like absolute crap.

Maybe it’s a lack of caffeine, but I don’t get it. I’m imagining you sticking his head on the top of the antenna like a Jack in the Box head.

Subaru used poor sound insulation to improve the driving experience for it’s customers:

I was just point out how ridiculous your “lottery ticket” analogy was.

Compare the total cost of the lease- with nothing down except first month payment, tags, and required fees- to the total cost of depreciation.

No. It’s kind of like giving people info for when they rent an apartment... or anything else, really.

Actually, no. I don’t know anyone who fits any of those signs of alcohol abuse. It isn’t the norm. Creating laws for the exception isn’t always (or even usually) the best course. If there is one person out there who has an allergic reaction to peanuts, we don’t ban peanuts.

No cupcake:

I didn’t take anything you said out of context. You equated 2 drinks to alcoholism. This discussion isn’t an all-or-nothing matter, despite the law trying to inch it closer and closer to that with the unrealistic tolerance of .05.

Good thing I’m not saying that. Nice narrative you’re spinning, though.

No, you can pass a FST and fail a breathalyzer and still be hauled off to jail. Maybe you ultimately get let off, or a reduced sentence to a wet reckless or something, but you aren’t “on your way” for blowing a .05.

So every person who has two drinks = an alcoholic. Your bias is showing.

Check points, for one. Speeding, failure to signal, light bulb out, officer’s general boredom, for others.

I’m experiencing the sting of this phenomenon right now. I am looking to buy a 2009-2012 MX-5 GT PRHT, but every single one I’ve seen has been way over book- mostly in the $17-19k range. And 2013+ models are in the low $20k’s. these cars sold new for low $20k’s!

$9k MkVI GTI?

Mike’s entire portion of the show was about “squeezing every little bit of profit...” or “staying in budget” or” “raking it in.” The whole point of this show was how to turn a profit flipping cars.
