I’ve found idiot millennials and their cell phones to be a bigger problem.

I would love a set of these for my NA Miata.
Mr. Tracy’s writing, at times, reminds me of Peter Egan. Nice job.
Moving cars with lease deals to people that can’t afford the first maintenance visit, that’s what.
All the old-timers in my town have a Buick of some sort (LeSabre, Park Ave, Enclave) and I envy their Greatest Generation sensibilities.
Many years ago I bid on an won an eBay auction for a 1992 black and tan Miata. I lived in Georgia and the car was in South Carolina, just a couple hours away. The owner offered to deliver it, which I thought was great. A week or so later the car and the owner arrived. The car looked much better in photos and had quite…
Garage space was the selling point on our ‘80's ranch renovation. There is room for 2 cars up top and 2-3 around back. The neighborhood was laid out in the sixties and we have an acre and spring fed creek. We do not have an HOA. They guy that built the home had hot rods and a motor home that he parked on the…
My wife and I have been pleased with our last two CPO’s, my Audi A7 bought at 6 mos. and 6,500 miles and her Porsche Carrera 4S bought at 3 years and 14,000 miles. I don’t recall what the sticker price was on the A7 when new, but our cost on the Carrera was more than 1/3 less than the original price. We’ve made use…
I don’t doubt you, but why is it a bad idea?
I am picturing the little “Why not both” girl showing the engineers that they have room on the fender to put 4 or 5 kinds of receptacles under a slightly larger charging door...
I’m not one of those people that say “COTD” but... COTD.
The 50 pence fix on the dodgy gearbox was my favorite Edd repair of all time.
After 4 years and 70,000 the greatest maintenence expense for my A7 has been tires. An oil chnage is $100 (i do them every 5,000 miles) and I have had three repairs: collapsed engine mount, failed thermostat and a broken wire behinfd the front bumper that was mended. It has been a fantastic car and I plan on finding…
He has more real, interesting cars than I have Hot Wheels.
Good analysis. I bet a rear tire failure will do major damage to the body work.
Now there is a comment I have never seen on the Internet before. Good show!
Some people say “They stopped making REAL Miatas after 1993" and I would have to agree ;)
For a week I had a 718 Boxster S (with PDK, Sport Chrono and Sport exhaust) as a loaner and I loved it. The torque was amazing and the car felt light and nimble, more so that my wife’s 991.1 4CS. Of course the price of the Boxster was $80 grand...
I found a CPO 2013 Porsche Carrera 4S for my wife in October and the only reason I and she were interested was that it was blue, not white, black, gray or six types of silver like every other used vehicle on the Porsche dealer’s lot.
Agreed. If an endurance racing sanctioning body wants to “spec” anything it should be that all entries look as good as a Porsche 917/10 or /30, Ferrari 512 M or 512 S or a McLaren M8D or M20. Give the competitors freedom with tires and powertrain, just don’t make us watch ugly race cars.
