Uh.

Fellow Libertarian here. I believe the inverse. Driving is a privilege, therefore I have no issue with insurance being mandatory... unless you can prove you have enough net worth to be self insured. I won a lawsuit against an uninsured driver. Let me tell you, wage garnishments for the rest of her life have basically…

So what would happen when someone hits you and they have no insurance? So your insurance would pay out, but then they wouldn’t be able to get restitution because it’s not adventageous to sue people that you can never collect from. So then, because there would surely be many drivers out there without insurance, your…

“As a libertarian”

But the minimum required coverage in MOST states is liability only, meaning it covers the damage you do to other peoples cars. If I were making money that I could only afford liability insurance and someone hit me, without insurance, I would have my life destroyed because of someone elses actions, which would set me…

Libertarianism is like astrology. Something stupid people believe will make them sound smarter than they are.

That’s exactly the point of car insurance, so people don’t do what you’re saying -- if they decided not to have insurance, and they have no assets and are thus judgment proof, if they hit you, you have no recourse. 

If I had to give advice, knowing what I know now, it would be to buy the best possible example you can afford. This car can cost a fortune to maintain in parts costs alone.

Miata people can be kind of weird and picky about things, and this is coming from a NA owner. I think there’s a lot of people who don’t want a turbo Miata because it’s “against the slow car fast mentality” and it messes with the 50/50 weight balance (though I doubt most of them could tell the difference), and the…

thanks. as a miata outsider I always asumed the MAZDASPEED version would be the most desirable and would be starting some huge bubble right now but it just isn’t. 

People crap on the ECU tuning and how it’s geared too short and a few other things. But I absolutely loved mine. Sure it could have been more optimized from the factory, but it’s a freaking turbo Miata that was DEAD RELIABLE for me across many road trips and many many track days. It was hilarious fun. SO GOOD.

This has Ford’s staple offset side seats! Luckily this one stays mostly exhaust free!

Not exactly. I bought it with a blown engine; rod #3 through the block:

Even if something bearing that name is built again, it won’t be a 500+ ci, naturally aspirated, manual only, RWD, minimal electronic aids type of car. Those are gone forever.

My bright orange box.

My ‘55 Bel-Air is my “forever” car.  Not a trailer queen, nor a 100 point car, but stirs my emotions each time I am out on the road behind the wheel.  Many great memories made with this car and looking forward to many more to come.

My current and always.

Look at it. Gaze upon its perfection. Its evocative shape, its raw power. An object of beauty that exists not just in spite of the mundane and the practical, but to spite them as well. It is the because to the question of why. It doesn’t care about you or what you think. It just is. It is freedom.

Nobody is ever going to make anything like it again.

Now that I have a garage this may be doable. I’ve had this 1989 Ford LTD Crown Victoria Country Squire for a little over a year now and use it for almost every 1+ hour drive I have to do out of town. My last LTD Wagon had a bad previous owner history, body damage, and electrical issues and was an uphill battle from…
