Are you rocking the Mazda5/Miata combo as well? Same here. Although my Miata is an NC. Both are 6-spd manual and love them.

Both my 2005 Ford Focus (now sold) and 2008 Mazda Miata do not have AUX inputs or cassette players. Both have CD players. So yes, you're crazy :)

I'm giving you a star for the sick reference bro.

I absolutely love these things. I'll have mine with a stick please.

Not sure why people are so butthurt at your comment. A 13% weight increase in a sports car will absolutely be controversial among enthusiasts. Again, regardless of power increase.

400 lb increase is definitely unfortunate regardless of how much more power it has.

Interesting point you make about living in the past considering that the 4C comes with an "old-school" unassisted steering rack. Given the pure nature of this car, I don't think it's unreasonable to question why it wasn't given a manual option.

I believe I used too much force when sanding my polycarbonate (plastic) headlight lenses. This caused deep grooves that could not be repaired. It's not visible unless you're within a couple feet of the headlights, but it's still annoys me that I could have avoided it if I had just had them done professionally. I…

I made the mistake of using the 3M headlight restoration kit and totally fucked up my headlights. I would strongly advise having this done professionally if you have no experience with this. At the very least, don't use a power drill as I did following the 3M instructions.

While the word "Miata" sounds Japanese, Mazda has always claimed that it is derived from an old German word meaning "reward".

Yup. Car looks great. Gauge cluster looks stupid.

I would call his collection "generic". My collection would be so much cooler.

The word "brilliant" gets thrown around a lot around here. But this ad is truly deserving. Hope the creative team gets some serious kudos for it.

Okay, this was one area where I was genuinely impressed. The S5 is a pretty superb handler. Sixty percent of the power goes to the rear wheels, so it has a nice dynamic (I'm using the world correctly there!) in the corners. Body roll is pretty minimal overall.

Does engine/exhaust sound still come through the speakers?

Well played!

What's the most fun car if you care too much about what other people think?

We have other options....

I definitely see hints of the Miura. A much more soft-edged design than Lambos of the past decade. Very nice.
