    I’ve recently test driven far too many cars before pulling the trigger on my midlife crisis car.

    The amount of new cars with shit tablets you won’t be able to easily replace in the future is astounding. You should’ve seen my face when I borrowed my neighbors Tesla and it didn’t even have CarPlay. I was just picturing myself sawing a hole in the dash to fit a double din.

        I’ve settled on a 718 cayman but all the dealers I’ve called/met basically put me on a waiting list but said don’t get my hopes up on an allocation. So now I’m just looking for a used GTS that’s not extortion pricing.

        I love Miata’s! I used to hang out with a couple guys who did meetups next to where I live at “Tail of the Dragon”
