Miata Is Always The Answer!

Everyone cried fowl when Cadillac announced the ELR would cost $75k

Miata Is NOT Always The Answer!!

For contrast:

My driver's test @ 17yo (in NJ) is no horror story. I used my dad's 510 (manual) for the driving test, cuz it had a center console hand brake (manuals only allowed for driving test if possessing center hand brake). The test involved driving down the street with intersection turns, a K turn, and parallel parking. After…

"It's a chick's car!" says everyone who has never driven one.

If the tracking was of the last 5 minutes, and was constantly being overwritten, then accessible only after an accident, to determine whether the crash was "pilot error", hardware failure, software glitch, etc. Then it might be acceptable. Not if it keeps a long running record that can be searched for infractions with…

"I've yet to find a GPS (app) that will tell me a place to eat along my route without sending my 5 miles off the highway or BEHIND me."

"Just, please actually lubricate the part after using WD-40. too many people think this is a Lubricant in and of itself."

""Yes, very true. They could always tack on "assumptions" of $/gal and $/kw after the $/mile number. Not as concise as MPG, but better than eMPG. I think. Just a proposal for better metric than eMPG.

"they averaged 40 mph and got 698 mpg. In a plug in hybrid with a fully charged battery and, most likely, an empty battery at the finish line"

Left foot braking can lead to serious issue like burning out the slush box. Easy to traine the operator to first stamp on both the brakes and accelerator, then slowly release the brake to go forward, etc. Control the speed of the car only with the brake pedal, keeping the accelerator 'floored'. Fresh slushes can deal…

fakemadeup, you gotme. I was not using the dictionary to distinguish "drive" from "operate". The bottom of my original post described my concept of "driver", as being an integral part of the operation of the car, with "operator" being just a "manager" of the various functions built into the car. My bad, my…

I disagree that (5) makes one a better driver. I argue that it is one of the devices that has turned cars into appliances and people into operators. Manual Transmissions is what is needed to keep one a driver of the car. It does not make one a better driver, it just keeps one a driver and not demoted to operator. A…

Sure thing me matey, it'll buff rite out! arrrrg

"It makes no difference if the basis of that distraction, talking to someone and paying attention to them, is the exact same."

And the "bogan" kept saying, "Yeah its broken but it STILL WORKS!!!" The cop never clarified that it wasn't the lightbulb he was citing, but the red plastic over the bulb. When he tried to point out that the Brake lights need to be Red. The Bogan then tries to go a scientifical by saying "It does produce RED light!"…

or just wifi one's GoogleGlass to the virtual tail camera so each Glass can rotate and pan throughout the 3D view? And the airline can rent those Glasses to the passengers for a "small fee", or free to the Platinum Frequent Flyers.

And didn't trade-off pilot duty nearly as much inflight as they had planned pre-flight. Rutan did not like the squeeze of the passenger position so stayed in the pilot seat for most of the flight.

Vitamins are good idea, in general. As a hangover preventative, not so sure. In my college days, we once had an Ethanol party. Where you can drink pure ethanol, with none of the other stuff in liquors. A shot of that, followed by a glass of water, got me totally blotto. Much more than binging liquor. Yet, next…
