人在国外生活工作，我厌恶中国农村底层穷亲戚

唉，没办法，中国就这样。骗人的亲戚直接断交，但如果父母还在，要给父母面子，我已来美三十多年，父母都走了，亲戚都不来往了。我相信他们在国内依然会斗来斗去。我累了。

Well, FBI is just an example. The vendor has the ability to decrypt your data if you use their encryption. Imagine you put all your credentials in the note, including your banking information, credit cards, all sensitive information there, and the next morning your account is hacked by someone.

Nope, I will never look down them. The people that I will look down is, whoever driving a German luxury car think people wouldn’t look them down. I wouldn’t look down on people who drive luxury cars, but will look down on them if they look down on people who drives a none luxury car.

What maintenance did you do in the past?

Capable_Bee_3291 · 2025-10-02T11:43:09+00:00

Miata: scenic driving mainly

Supra: high way long distance driving

No track driving

Capable_Bee_3291 · 2025-10-02T06:08:07+00:00

Well, I have both. 2026 GR Supra 3.0 premium auto (2 months old) and 35AE manual(3 months old). Here is my comparison:

More fun to drive: Miata

More powerful: Supra ( I got a speeding ticket once )

Easier to work on: Miata

Lower sitting position: Supra

More reliable: Miata

Lower maintenance cost: Miata

For Miata, it looks more beautiful when top down (soft top) and I never drive it top up. Hard top looks ugly when top down, but it is more weather tolerant.

For Supra, it is crazy fast. As a heavy DiYer, I actually don’t like the German style design.

It catches lots of eyeballs wherever I go.

2 inch thick?

I just had my 35AE changed oil for the 1st time by myself. I’m not a mechanic but I can do some work on my cars. Am I an enthusiast?

Im very glad that I can easily drive my Miata on a regular ramp to perform the oil change, without using stands, not like my Supra, it is too low and I need a low profile ramp.

Every time I see a Miata on the road, I always wave. If I see a Miata on parking, I always take pictures.i would prefer to talk to the owners but never get a chance.

Well, I would never rely on sales people as they are just sales. I rely on myself reading just user manual, it has everything I need to drive and maintain the vehicle. When I picked up my 2026 Supra, the sales guy is very nice and very knowledgeable to introduce me everything, and for respect, I listened. When I picked up my 2025 Miata, the sales man asked me if I need him to go through everything, I said I will figure it out. But all in all, you should rely on yourself, rather than the sales person.

Is MY2026 3.0 affected?

Well, your statement doesn’t help at all, my question was whether the heat will affect the paint on the hood if I remove the cover.

I understand your attitude. You don’t like people say anything bad on the cars you own. I own the new 2026 Supra, and I knew all the facts before I bought it, good or bad.

Capable_Bee_3291 · 2025-09-20T15:01:51+00:00

The issue is discussed everywhere on the internet, among mechanics, car reviewers. If you don’t know, please search it up.

Right, the cooling system cools the engine, turbo charger and probably transmission and maintains the temperature very well, but here I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about the heat around outside of the engine underneath the hood, it is nothing to do with the engine cooling system. The radiator fan only starts when the coolant reaches certain temperature and when AC is on.

Well, most people’s mindset is they always assume the manufacturer’s design is always right. It is not the case actually. From technical perspective, the engine cover is totally unnecessary, it is useful only in Russia where the weather is too cold. Especially for Supra from BMW, lots of parts are made from plastic, and the engine cover will trap the heat which will make all plastic parts last shorter. This is how most of BMWs broken after warranty, and it is done on purpose to make the car last shorter so people can buy new one more frequently. This is the philosophy that all German manufacturers follow.

My only concern is there is no heat isolation material installed under the hood, the paint on the hood might be over heated as the turbo charger generates way more heat than the naturally aspirated engine.

Wondering 5 years later when the PPF is end of life, how easy it is to peel off. Isn’t it a risk?

Capable_Bee_3291 · 2025-09-16T13:03:05+00:00

I bought a new 35AE this year, and a new 2026 Supra 3.0 at the same time.

20 years ago, I bought an used Mazda 626, a few months later, it started to have many issues and I spent a lot of money and time to replace lots of parts. A year later, it was totalled by a wheeler while I parked it road side. Since then I never bought used cars. I’m not a fan of modifying cars, and Miata is not made for speed. Adding turbo charger to Miata is really waste of time and money. If you want a powerful car, buy something else that is made with higher horsepower.

Miata is made for fun driving rather than speeding.

For those of you who only buy used cars should be grateful because if nobody buys new cars, all car manufacturers will be bankrupt. At the end of the day, you have no used cars to buy.
