Okay, I know that's a 2013, which is probably not a great idea since it's the first model year, but it doesn't even have 40,000 miles! And look at that price.

For that price, I'd go for it...

I almost bought a new Mini S before I decided last minute to go fore the MX5 Club. I test drove a couple Minis and they are OK - things I didn't like - auto blip, fake exhaust sound, and it just felt kind of sluggish compared to the the Miata (but most things do anyway). Still, the Mini was cool, but once I test drove the Miata, it was an instant decision.

Can you turn off the auto blip? I ****ing hate that.

Miata's not on the table for me--doesn't make much sense to have a Miata as a winter car when I'm keeping the Z4! I’ll eventually replace it, but I’m thinking about a 964 Cabriolet or an F-Type Roadster (they’re getting really affordable these days).

Get another A4......

Speaking of. Just added a Neuspeed Control Module (piggyback). Good for ~ 45-50 more HP on 93 octane. Has a 100 octane setting as well. Car definitely pulls harder according to my butt dyno.

I thought about it. But another S4 would be older than a Golf R and it'd be nice to have the newer tech of the Golf R. And it's plenty fast enough.

New bike - gsxr1000r

Yes I'm changing the can and putting on a tail tidy ASAP!

I love the bike but the graphics would be too much for me. I'm an old fart, I prefer understated.

Likewise - I was going to wrap it in something more subtle. But it looks mint jn the metal! I'm keeping it as is

When i started driving the US carmakers made their muscle cars like this

They looked like any dad or mom car but would smoke anything while sucking down huge amounts of good old leaded premium.
Within a few short years they started adding stripes, lines, animals, cartoon characters and anything else a marketing weenie could think of, to the point of embarrassment,, all made of plastic tape that faded or peeled after just a few years (along with the vinyl tops), and screamed to the cops "Hey, look at me. I've got a fast car!" The insurance companies loved it.

That bike is an exceptionally good match for Esso petrol pumps.
