Personally, I agree with your mindset, but I’m pretty handy with fixing/maintaining my own vehicles. For someone needing something to reliably get back and forth to work/school/daycare, I understand why people don’t go this route. Shop lead times have skyrocketed in the last few years, as have repair prices. Sometimes you just need something you don’t have to worry about.

Hey there, fellow Miata owner!

Absolutely! I was just running on the assumption that:

1. If you’re buying toys at Spencer’s, you’re probably not after super high quality/expensive toys.

2)For those unaware, a blanket “no” is easier to remember and safer to follow.

3)If you’re in the market for platinum grade cured toys, then you are already well past this learning experience.

Excellent recommendation, I absolutely love that stuff, and a lifetime supply is cheap! The worst part about it is finding a good bottle to keep it in.

Remember kids, silicone lube is not safe for silicone toys.

You know, this is the kind of talk that should have been happening since before 2016. Everyone has warned that the constant barrage of lies and misinformation is dangerous.

However, they have the keys to the kingdom for round two now. The inaction of us (as a country) has let it get to this point. We’re in for a wild ride.

I’m aware. I’ve been there. Kinda hard to miss em.

I’m thinking that there was a reason for the change; drilling for oil was blocked in the Gulf of Mexico.

Ahhhhh…NOW it’s called a Nazi salute. I get it.

Saw him play recently in Alabama. They were selling this phrase on a shirt. Much to my surprise, that shirt was sold out by the time I went to pick it up. I was pleasantly shocked.

“I want to be able to use my expensive hardware for the reason I purchased it in the first place” seems like a pretty solid argument to me.

As much as I’m happy to see churches go, I agree with this. I used to go to church even as a non believer for this reason. Outreach into the community is much easier when backed by an organization that is trusted, and has resources at their disposal.

You know, I’m not certain on that. Now I’m gonna have to do some reading! I was just happy it had that combo when I bought it.

Just wanted to pop in and say I have a 95 with the 1.8; It’s OBD1.

Hey, that’s a cool feature!

I look at usernames. If it’s one I recognize, I generally don’t engage.

As a matter of fact, yesterday I heard someone at work say, “Look at how much he’s done and he’s not even president yet.”

Cool.

“New” was never mentioned.

Mine is an NA, '95. I really dig the popup headlights. 1995 was a good year IMO. First year with the bigger 1.8, and still had OBD1.

My brother has an NB for years, so I’ve had plenty of seat time in one of those as well. They feel really similar to the NA, with better suspension travel. Great cars!
