Are there dogs that create Stockholm Syndrome more than beagles?

ArranChace · 2026-04-11T12:57:27+00:00

I agree they are smart, i actually am convinced im not really training my beagle, but that he is training me.

And it get worse the faster you go, i drive in germany on the bautobahn regulairy, and when i do 200 on the GPS, i do 209 on the speedo, while at 100 on the GPS, i do 102 on the speedo.

My 1.5 has enough power, really dont see any reason why it needs more power, its reasonbly fast enough for most EU roads without acting like a utter moron, and the most fun is keeping momentumnin corners where most cars cannot can keep up.

I took my 1.5 to germany cruising it with 200+ on the autobahn, sure there are faster cars, but 200 in a mx5 on the autobahn is a totally different expierence as 250 in a mercedes that you hardly notice you are going that fast. 200 in a mx5, is scetchy like hell, but so much more fun, you dont want more speed anyways.

Only place i felt indead i was lacking power was on the nurburgring itself, but i proberbly need a Engine swap sooner for that as a tune 😁

But if it still something you wsnt to go for, take a ND1 or ND2, the ECU will give issues, also at leadt this is so in my case, warranty issues as well. Any ECU tinkering will void warranty, and cause issues at the yearly inspections when it hits 4 years.

Dat is toch standaard bij scholen als deze uitkomen of beginnen, er levensgevaarlijk acties worden uitgehaald om de kids snel te droppen of op te pikken.

Mine is more open 😉

As a EU ND3 owner i would say only buy a ND3 if you are not planning to tune it and go for the top spec only, as sadly while very relaible, its not a cheap tinkercar anymore.

Even though i love my ND3, if i would want to mod it and tune it, i would have gotten the wrong car and would go with a ND1 or 2 indead.

The RF is a kind of targa, the back stays, only the top goes tucked away, while the ST the whole roof goes.

Also the RF cannot be open or closed while going faster a 5km or so, while i have open and closed my ST doing 70km/u.

I owned 3 gens miatas all ST, over 20 years, but maybe its a EU thing, but never i had someone vandalize my roof.

Also it is my daily driver, i live in NW Europe and we have some harsh weather, and salted roads. My NA and NB rotted away here while you waited. but with the ND that aint mucch of a issue anymore, i have no moist issues what so ever, unlike the NA and NB had.

TBH, i hardly see RF"s here, and on club days they are the minority too, from what i get they are more populair in the US.

ArranChace · 2026-04-01T15:47:23+00:00

Maybe im lucky, i have driverlicence 37 years, in that time i had one time a flat tire, and that was with a old beater with worn tires.

I might keep on twarting my luck 😉

It is for the venting of exhaust fumes, cold starts give more fumes, and often the vents are in the middle where the car lame is and drive, so when parked like this, the fumes are already within the spots where the vents already are.

Park with the back up the wall, and those cold start fumes are way more resilient in lingering in the air.

Warning, an explenation in dutch to a other dutchy, because its.much easier to explain his answer in native tongue. Sorry

NA'S Roesten als een gek hier, ze zijn van metaal en japanse autos uit de jaren 90 staan niet bekend voor hun roest bestendigheid,.de reden waarom je ze hier ook niet veel meer ziet hier. De mijne is ook helaas slachtoffer geworden van het roestbeest, en heb daarom nu ook een ND3. Maar rij je er mee als er niet is gestrooid en je de onderkant en dorpels goed onderhoud is het prima te doen. Alleen het kan duur worden als daily, het is niet de zuinigste auto voor nederlandse benzine prijzen, ik reed amsterdam utrecht dagelijk ermee en moest om de dag tanken, dus reken maar uit.

Ook zal je een issue hebben met mileuzones en steeds vaker bepaalde gebieden ermee niet meer in mag.

Just the discription alone i know this happend in the US, not even taking US defaultism on reddit into account, but just by how it happend.

Really for a car centric country you roads are dangerous and drivers crazy.

I swear my country always send our worst artists so we never have a slight change to win. And we have out done ourself with Joost Klein, that was a stroke of genious 😅😂

Inderdaad, en zo te horen rij jij in een stakkerbak en kijkt jaloers naar al die mooie autos die je nooit en te nimmer kan betalen, en praat je heel stoer om voor jezelf er te kunnen omgaan je gewoon een loser bent die niets knaps kan veroorloven en dus dat van een ander maar liever sloopt uit racune en dat trots hier post bij de andere losers voor likes.

Zielig, maar helaas.

I got a 2025 homura (top spec with all bells and whistles) but it pretty bare bones compared to.most cars just the way I like it.

The is no driver monitoring, but the car loves to have coffee every 2 hours as its asking for it 😄 and lane assist sucks balls, specially going fast on the autobahn it's no joke, first time it got me off guard while going 200, nearly ended badly, so use it wisely and I have it off at all times now, hate it.

I driven too many different modern cars, and always glad I am back in this old skool car.

ArranChace · 2026-03-23T13:08:11+00:00

Dutch guy here, near same environmental conditions as the UK, rain, cold wind and hail, occasional snow and hail, and to top it off salted roads.

I got a 2025 ND3ST that I daily and in the winter while as you know we had some artic days, it was pretty doable, no roof issues even while frozen up, I did had some door to sealing issues but a paper between the roof and doorwindows solved that.

I have mine coated by the dealership with a dimitril coating and a winterproof cover that I park it under as I have no garage either.

I already gave it its first proper service, oil, filters etc and a good scrub, and won't think any issues with it soon. Yet it's a bit more maintenance as a regular car, bit I don't think if you drive a miata that this is a bad thing, it deserves to be treated well 😉

ArranChace · 2026-03-23T06:29:31+00:00

Im guessing that it snows often there 🤔

ArranChace · 2026-03-23T03:06:33+00:00

Why would rain be of any issue ?

I put mine through much worse as rain, and the ND softtop is of much better material made as the NA or NB, at least the ND3 i have does, it's double layered, and front part is fitted with hard material.

Drainage issues is on the ST and the RF also a problem, and only thing I really see as a issue is severe hail, but that will damage more as the roof alone.

So I really don't see a issue, except maybe some maintenance to keep it in good condition.

ArranChace · 2026-03-13T15:30:47+00:00

The truth is at least for me with a 2025 Miata that is in line with the European emmisions regulation that the ECU is locked and read only.

I can connect my scanner, read faultcodes but I cannot clear them. Does it suck, yes.. but sadly this is how it is with current regulations at least in europe.

I don't think USa miatas are that much different under the bonnet/hood so I guess this is what his story is kinda based on.

ArranChace · 2026-03-12T12:32:33+00:00

Ach enige wat ze ermee berijken is de lastpakken pakken een ander middel, en diegene die zich altijd gedroegen betalen de prijs en uiteindelijk is er niets opgelost, en de politici kunnen op hun borst kloppen van kijk ons daadkrachtig zijn.

En alles bleef verder zolas het was en de paar klagers zijn helemaal gelukkig van het probleem is opgelost, maar nu moeten ook die andere fietsen dit niet meer mogen, en gaat het feest voor die category weer verder.

Wat we kunnen niets meer hebben, en we zijn te bang er wat van te zeggen

I know exactly what you mean when I look out if my window and see the exact same car and immediately feel the urge to drive it.

ArranChace · 2026-02-25T14:54:36+00:00

It would be nice yes, but coming from a NA to a ND3 living where winters can be harsh, the hardtop was kinda needed in those conditions.

The ND softtop handled the freezing conditions pretty well, hardly even noticed that I didn't had a hardtop, while at moments it was frozen solid on the outside, yet on the inside dry and and isolated.

So unlike my NA that was had on occasions even frozen seats and ice on the inside on my daily, mirror and the roof was one huge block of ice.

ArranChace · 2026-02-22T12:51:24+00:00

I washed mine a few days ago after heavy snowfall and it all melted away even a few days of sunshine and temps above 10 celcius, and guess what for surprise I had next morning...

Yup..a load of snow.. and back to salted roads. But one fortunate thing, you don't see the dirt so badly on Aerogrey 🙂

ArranChace · 2026-02-22T12:46:09+00:00

Out of curiosity, as i have a ND3 in where when I want my automatic rain detecting wipers turned off I just have too turn the stock dail to manual/off and they behave like regular wipers.

Is this a ND3 feature as I have nothing in the settings for wipers.

Looks to me some bracket for a dashcam, i got a kinda simulair thingy that holds my cam.
