Just passed 100k a few days ago in the Miata, and my pops is using the Corolla for his 70 mile daily commute, it's at 212k now I think.

Well, it's definitely not because I drive a 95 Camry 4 speed.

I shall also bump this thread with a picture of me and a dog https://scontent-b.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/1186161_10202071455170573_208172381_n.jpg There's a shelter near where my girlfriend lives and we walk dogs there when we get a chance. This one was really playful so we stopped at a park and in...

Oh boy! I went for another drive with the Miata after it had snowed a few more inches: This thing is a monster in the snow. I went into an unplowed parking lot with maybe 4-5 inches of powder in it and it just drifted and hauled ass everywhere. Even when I spun out, it could easily start back up and...

They definitely spin and get sideways if I punch it. Are they supposed to be like that or did I get hosed on my used winter tires? Without knowing any details, I'd say that's pretty much normal, especially considering the age of your tires. I can easily spin the studded tires (or well, engage the t...

Just went for my first drive in the Miata with the winter tires on. It was mostly the light fresh powder in quiet residential areas. They definitely spin and get sideways if I punch it. Are they supposed to be like that or did I get hosed on my used winter tires? They have nearly full tread, but the...

What up peeps :mrgreen: Whoa! You got kids and a wife yet? Because you've been suspiciously absent. :lol: I hope you named them after us! Oh yea, twatkins and Tonebone, my two little retards :lol: Lurking around for the most part, SAE is taking up most of my time now. Usually at school from 10am-10...

What up peeps

zenfiz6, I'm studying Mechanical Engineering. Kicking my ass but if it lands me a job that I enjoy doing that pays enough to further my hobbies (read: addictions to cars and travel) I'll be happy

God damn I haven't posted in a while. I'm still around, just lurking mostly since I'm at school from 10am to 8 pm most days. It's consuming my life and I have less time for luxuries like SS, but fret not, I am still lurking and reading the posts on here!

I'm here! I've just been super bogged down with school matter now that I've joined Formula SAE and I have a full schedule to boot. Don't worry, I still lurk a bunch,just don't post as often. I can't see the picture but from the comments I can assume it's a Miata so congrats RomPirate! They are amazi...

At autox today, there was a huge (I mean like 1000+ car) stancekid car show across the street. From 12-5:30 pm, the line to get in was jammed solid until the expressway. Bunch of awful, horrible stance/slammed/stretched tire cars, but then this came up: https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos...

Drove Dallas to Chicago today. Illinois has by far the most left lane campers of the other parts of the trip combined. I was getting furious at lack of any lane discipline. Yep. Everytime I leave IL I'm surprised at how much people actually follow the correct rules of lane usage. I guess you got us...

Can somebody explain or show a picture of a "decreasing radius" ramp? I've never heard of them, impress it's a colloquial term and Minnesotans say something else. That little section circled in red. Note that it gets tighter when you merge onto the highway. It doesn't seem significant in ...

Driving to Chicago this coming Saturday. I'm actually a bit glad to take a heat break. It's been into the tripe digits here for a while and at night it only cools down to low 80's. Chicago forecast calls for mid 70's and dry for the time I'm there. I also ordered my parents the Roku box since they ...
