I would love one of these things. I can't remember the last one I saw on the street.

Given the number of 300-400hp V8 NA/NB Miatas running around on 4x100 wheels, I'm not real concerned. The only reason the NC went to 5-lug was to share parts with the RX-8.

My son's principal sent a link out. I shut that shit down after 5 seconds. I knew where it was going.

No general production M3 after the E30 was a homologated car, so by that standard there's only one real "motorsport" M3. But please...I've had both an E36 328is and an E36 M3. The M3 is not just a warmed up E36.

Typically under a yellow you don't have drivers exiting their cars and running onto a hot track. Whatever happened, I certainly don't think Stewart did this deliberately. And the incident that put Ward into the wall wasn't the sort that would've made Stewart any more homicidal than his baseline.

However well trained and careful you are, there are two truths about driving: eventually you'll make a mistake, and physics is a bitch.

They share a platform, so dimensions are very similar. The 924 GTS looks a LOT more extreme in the flesh, though.

No, Gulf almost all the things and Martini the rest.

Mumford typically has a nice sound of their own, but they're not really the same sort of old timey a bluegrass group. This song just sounds *right* when OCMS does it, but then I totally love everything they do.

If it is not necessary to correct someone, I don't correct them. And to determine necessity, you should ask yourself: "will this tidbit save the guy a lot of money, keep him safer or prevent truly horrible embarrassment?"

When I was in the market for a sedan to replace a coupe a couple years ago, it was a lot harder to find a solid M3 sedan than a coupe and prices were higher. I've gotten more "ooh, awesome! a sedan!" comments than I can shake a stick at.

Why are you posting behind a pseudonym? Why not post with your real name?

Better than hydroplaning and increased damage from freeze/thaw cycles. And I'd rather you fell off the road to the right than to the left...

Ok, yeah, I'll agree with my grandparent comment here: that's a weird statement. You can't relate to children? How do you have empathy for children without being able to relate to them? Or do you have no empathy for them, either?

There's nothing more wrong with hating kids than with hating anyone else. No different than saying you hate the elderly, teenagers, 20-somethings, 60-somethings, blacks or jews. No big deal.

Yes, I can really only compare it to waking up and HAVING MY FUCKING PENIS CUT OFF.

Have you considered the possibility that your husband is imagining the smell, or smelling something else? 5 years is a looooong time for 5 mils of paint to be outgassing.

Flat Rock speedway! They do this at Toledo Speedway and I'm sure everywhere else, too. Keep an eye on their schedules if your in SE Michigan or northern Ohio. This'll happen again on Sept 6 at Flat Rock. August 29th in Toledo. The sound of one bus t-boning another is like god's own timpani. Jalopnik meetup time?

I got hit in the driver's door at 20 mph by someone who ran a stop sign. Let's just say it was not something I'd want to experience at 30 mph. I no longer drive my Miata as a daily, because I want to make it home to my kids each night.
