The problem is that Augmented Reality was practically still born. It is cool and there was certainly some very good applications but it became a cliché in a very short amount of time. I think that ship has sailed.

The vehicular landscape in Texas is just as perceived - lunacy. An acquaintance of mine bought their 16 year old daughter an SUV despite the fact that the girl wanted an NA Miata because he didn't want her being killed by some other 16 year old in an SUV. So now I've got to make sure his daughter doesn't kill me in…

Not with a Dallara ...

I'm just happy to see the mealy-mouthed Whitmarsh on his way out the door.

My peeve is when people put their hazard lights on in clear weather and drive the same speed as everyone else. What's the point? You're not in a rush and you're not going slower than everyone else. Am I supposed to intuit the hazard? Now I'm the hazard because I'm thinking about your problem and not what's going…

This is one of my pet peeves. If I couldn't see the round pipe I wouldn't care as much, but when it's so clearly tacked on...

Stop it! Next you're going to say Miata is not the answer!

She looks like she needs a week in the sun and a good wash. She better not put her greasy mitts on my windows.

I'm not an average TV viewer. I've been watching Formula 1 since the early 70s, have played most racing sims, and am fortunate enough to have a car that I track. As much as I appreciate pit times, sector times, racing lines, and all the other nuances of racing, I'm there to be entertained by a race. One guy…

Isn't that fairly normal for a racing driver?

People tune in to watch the spectacle and watching Vettel, Schumacher, Senna, et al disappear into the sunset while everyone else competes for second place is not much of a spectacle. You sound wizened enough to realize that people will only truly appreciate Vettel's greatness after he has retired and somebody brings…

I think he meant retractable hard top.

Actually, they think the sun shines out my arse - as do my two younger sisters - and if you actually knew me you probably would too. Have a nice Thanksgiving.

That' nice. Send me an IM and I'll give you my parents contact info and you can tell them yourself. They'll be gutted.

That ship has sailed.

You need to have another look at who is being selfish. You agree that crying children on planes sucks, yet because you have children we should see it your way and suck it up. And because Travis doesn't have any children (you assume) he doesn't have that special spiritual enlightenment that you do. You know, the…

Roger this. I am so sick and tired of the condescending "You obviously don't have any children of your own, why can't we all get along, cumbaya" bullshit parents are so quick to whip out. There is simply nothing more more irritating or aggravating than the sound of a screaming child on an airplane. Fat people,…

Pay for a track day first. That will be the best money you ever spend on the car. Then change out your sway bars - you can get RX-8 sways for less than $200. This will make a huge difference to an NC. After that Tokico HTS adjustable shocks and Flyin Miata springs. Check out Miata.net, you will find more advice…

No one remembers Poland? Do you think those guys went there with a frown on their faces because they didn't really want to invade they were just following orders?
