There’s a slight difference, though. Malaria is only prevalent in certain portions of the world. Typically tropical and subtropical poor areas. If I travel to a place where malaria is prevalent, I can take prophylactic medicines to give me a good shot at not contracting it. The likelihood of an outbreak of malaria in,…

A young person liking a Lincoln is the best news Lincoln has heard in 40 years.

That makes no sense. Inflation-adjusted dollars are inflation-adjusted dollars.

How the hell did you go through that much analysis without even mentioning the one DIRECT competitor to the Miata (minus the convertible-ness): The Subaru BRZ / Toyota 86.

Are there other colors worth getting other than red?

I was 5 in 1989 so I have more buying power now.

You’d be surprised at how many of these mouth frothing manual elitists are driving automatic crossovers in real life.

I have said it before and I will say it again:

“I like people going through the extra effort to swap weird and unusual motors.”

This is the problem with these takes though. YOU aren’t paying for that swap. YOU aren’t living with that swap. YOU aren’t having to deal with the integration hassles of that swap. Everyone wants someone else to foot the bill to put an…
