Make it, and I will buy one. I have never been more sure about a purchase in my life.

You'll be happy with the Miata if you enjoy driving. I bought a '95 with 36,000 miles about a month ago, and it's been amazing. I'm very partial to the styling of the first generation car, and I'd like to see what Mazda has in-store for the next generation.

The World's Largest Truck Stop - The Iowa 80 Truckstop - is in Walcott. If you take I-80 through Iowa, you can't miss it. Also, that area where you cross the Mississippi is said to be the only place where the river runs East-West for any appreciable distance.

Is it a Datsun 510? Check.

Is it sad that I've never thought of Porsche as a "sports car company?" I've always considered them a luxury car company that also happened to built sports cars - but damn good ones at that.

No, haven't seen it yet. I thought the second one was okay, it was pretty much just like the first, so I didn't really mind that because the first was so awesome.

Heart-click. Have you seen Part III yet?

What was that about "steelies being ugly?"

The answer is always Miata.

I never thought I'd see a day where these words rang true:

Those tires are about as skinny as - if not skinner than - the ones on my Miata. You would smoke those in every gear.

I don't think that you could ever argue that one badge is necessarily the "best" - surely this isn't the best - but it's nice and I like it.

Yeah, it's more likely that the "engine is misaligned with the timing belt" - not the other way around. You're buying a 25-year old Italian car, so everyone should know what they're getting into.

First off, it's a California car - which is worth one hell of a lot when you live in Illinois. If you're ready for the Alfa Romeo ownership experience, I can't think of a better bargain for a nice example of a fun daily driver.

"Car count is up to 1,200 right out of the box."

In order for NTSB to do anything about it, aren't they going to have to promise a bunch of federal funds to improve roads for those states that change their laws? If so, this could end-up being great for infrastructure.

I wasn't really sure. Just looked it up now, and it seems as though the red badge was used from 1995-1997.

I never noticed there was an elephant on the logo. What's the significance of that? I can't think of a stranger animal to put on a Lancia.

Nice, I wonder if there's a name for this font.

Don't hate. Personally, it's how it all comes together with the red-on-black combination. It's actually very subtle.
