To simplify:

Maybe, yes, maybe no.

And stock up on Ice Cream and Cake!

I’m guessing this is less a problem when they load the ship full of Americans that are lured into cruises for the promise of a 7 day never ending buffet.

I had a coworker from outside of Belfast. He told me that one of his favorite things to do was to go and visit the various breweries.

Retirement / senior living on a cruise ship is becoming a thing. Not just for this old ship.

Last time I was in Germany, which would have been mid 2010s, the fastest “normal” cars on the Autobahn were Priuses (Prii?) Yes, BMWs and MBs and the like were much faster, but compared to the Golfs and similiar cars, the Priuses were significantly faster.

True, but with a Miata, there is a better chance that you can find a replacement fender at a junkyard if you have to.

The biggest challenge is vision and vision processing.

Guy at work has one. It seems Miata Reliable.

Realistically, YAWV. Your Ass Will Vary.

I’ve heard that. I took an extreme example, My budget is normally more like “I know Dodges are crap, but are is it really less reliable at 30k miles than a Toyota at 300k?”

As an old Corvair owner, there is the Legend of Aussie Corvair.

New? BRZ is already mentioned, so an Ecoboost Mustang is my nomination.

This has always been an interesting question for me as a guy that loves to (over) analyze things.
