Miata.net is bringing the lulz today.

2006 Z4M or 2010 Miata: which would you choose? - MX-5 Miata Forum

On a scale of 1-10, how good is the NC's engine? - MX-5 Miata Forum

why in the world would a 2010 miata be $28K?

Because Canada. New MX-5s are around $40k up there.

suckers.

Anybody ever sold anything to anyone "famous" or someone that you had heard of before? I just sold something on ebay to a researcher at a Washington university who is researching with a his team to make breakthroughs in quantum computing and communications. I had read some stuff recently and remember seeing his name mentioned. Just thought that was kind of cool. Out of all the people to buy something from me, it's someone I read about recently.

One time I had a conversation with Randy Pobst and had no idea it was him until after I walked away and it dawned on me.

I'm not in the sales department at work, so no.

So #jdm #drift #swag #yolo #wiretuck #hellaflush (am I doing this right?)

God i hope not.

my wife is hanging out in NYC with Tom Colicchio, Mark Bittman, and Michael Pollan today.

nothing more annoyingly depressing while working on your 1986 ford bronco and your own brother calls to talk and you can hear his Jaguar XKR daily driver over his speaker phone.

qft

no, its just depressing if its just that lol

I always enjoyed turning wrenches on my 73 Bronco. Now my brother drives it and I have a Miata. Hummm...

Im changing the water pump on a 351w in a vehicle taller than me, its not fun :hahano:

However after this is out of the way im going to rebuild the exhaust for funsies, and to make it so I dont have to keep changing exhaust hangers everytime I go off-road with the local forum. I thinking side pipes above the slider bars.

You already have the block drained, just take out the radiator and stand in there :rofl:

funny guy lol :fawk:

Hey guys, I have a question about hats. I've never had a good hat. Always some cheap trucker shit that just gets the job done, but nothing I've ever really wanted to put on my head.

I was hoping to get some recommendations and/or insight on proper hat assessment, etc..

What I've seen that I like so far:
-Cadet
-some Paperboy/Cabbie

NO FUCKING FEDORAS

Thanks

Is the principle intended function of the hat to be a fashion accessory or to keep the sun out of your eyes when you're driving with the top down?

So today was my last day at my job, and the last day of my old career, and of my old life. On Friday I move up to Santa Clara.

It's been a very interesting day, emotionally. Stressful and worrysome, but also cathartic. I've spent the past week training my replacement at the lab- a man who, ironically, was my manager 13 years ago when I first started at the company. Got a lot of "Dude, I don't know how we're going to function without you" kind of stuff, which was both gratifying and embarrassing at the same time. (People seem to think I'm smarter than I really am. In reality, I'm just really good at breaking things and then documenting in copious detail how I broke them.)

Went out for pizza and beer with the guys and gals from work. Yet another new microbrewery recently opened a few blocks away (one of at least a dozen of which I'm aware in this area) and we tried it out. Great stuff.

Thoroughly enjoyed the drive home. Top down, sun shining, 72° and no humidity. A typical San Diego summer afternoon. I'm going to miss this place.

And then the speedometer cable in my car broke. It's been making noise for a couple of years, and I've known this was going to happen (1990, 219,000 miles) but it figures that it would wait until this very day, just after I've sold off all of my shop tools and emptied out the garage. Changing that cable without my good floor jack and jackstands is going to be a major PITA...
