I know Jalopnik is not really a motorsport site, but every major F1 site ran a piece on this last week - which in internet years is a lifetime.

So let me get this right -

Two more F-35s just went on the line to replace them.

Holy Shit that’s ugly! Some director’s kid who wants to be a car designer came up with that one.

I’m in for a John Player Special liveried Europa. When can I pick it up?

That’s what I like about the Miata groups I hang with. We aren’t standing around admiring our cars, we’re all racing around some twisty roads together. NA to ND the road is the common denominator.

That’s pretty much my philosophy on life.

Very thoughful. Well put. Thanks.

I’ve got an NC and a Cayman and there’s days where I’m on Miata.net and I think wasn’t this guy just ranting about this on Planet 9, or vice-versa. I think all car people are a little bit nuts. And let’s not even mention the Corvette guys. Why haven’t we banned Hawaiian shirts yet?

You need to take an NC on track. Your mind would be made up. I’ve never seen a Solstice at my local track.

They should get time off for good behavior for not shooting in portrait mode.

And you have to wait months to get on the list!

Of course you haven’t.

There are a dozen places in both directions where a motorcycle can pull into and let a quicker driver past, but do they? Hell no. Nothing worse than being stuck on the Dragon behind some slowpoke counting all the times he/she could have let you through.

This. Harleys have ruined the Dragon.

A Miata will run with an S2K all day long in the twisties - and no snap oversteer.

A weekend at the track wipes you out in about every way possible. There’s nothing worse than having to go to work on the Monday after two days of DE.

This was a car that was cool in the day, but seems to have lost a little je ne sais quoi.

We had a chocolate lab who seemed to age along wth the one in the Subaru ads. We just lost him and now the ads are soul crushing.

They were on his property. If they had made it to the street I think it may have ended up differently.
