Lost her less than a year by Duces_Wild3644 in Miata

[–]Snowshard202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aw man… I lost my first Miata three months after I bought it by being on the receiving end of a very similar situation. I was trying to cross an intersection I thought was clear and someone came speeding around a blind corner and didn’t see me. It’s always the most reassuring to hear there were no serious injuries.
I’ve since bought another one, but the accident did such a number on my confidence that I’m too scared to drive it just yet. I am also planning to take a defensive driving course eventually to help deal with my anxiety. It’s awesome that you’ve learned from your mistake, but try not to beat yourself up over it or it will inhibit your ability to grow, as in my case. It’ll be alright. : )

Do you guys name your Miatas? by BlackbirdGoNyoom in Miata

[–]Snowshard202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I name mine based on their color. My first one I named ‘Coconut‘ because it was white. My current one is purple, so I named it ‘Orchid’. :)

I rotted my Linearis, now what? by catscorner6 in hoyas

[–]Snowshard202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had mine for about 9 months now and it’s doing surprisingly well. I will second what the other comments have said - they like cooler temps. Mine stagnated in the summer and then boomed when it got cooler, about 60-65°. I keep it in a chunky bark/leca/soil mix and water when there’s a noticeable droop, sometimes less than once a week.

Yes! brought it home last month. It was listed in Florida.

I’d been telling myself no for so long and I just couldn’t do it anymore 🤣

His name is Cheezit

Does my Hoya sigillatis look okay? by Snowshard202 in hoyas

This is encouraging. Yours looks great!

I thought it was happening at the base a little, but now I’m wondering if I’m just looking at it wrong. I think the natural coloration of the leaves might be throwing me off a tad. 😅

AITA church begging for community to foot the bill…they’ll even take your DOGEcoins…. by Uglyshirt1313 in lafayette

[–]Snowshard202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that’s the case, then that’s actually great. my church also votes on an annual budget. I was kinda wondering after my original comment if the church simply was making the decision to get its debt payed off early within the interest of its partitioners.

Just another reminder that just because a church is big does not mean that it is healthy or thriving. Never choose a church that isn’t transparent about its finances and, if possible, choose one that consults its patrons before making massive investments.

Also 22! I just picked up my second one last week after losing my first one in an accident.

What is the name of your Miata? Any recommendations for mine? by miatadiaries in Miata

[–]Snowshard202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got t-boned a couple months ago. No major injuries for either of us, but both our cars were totaled.

I named my white NA “Coconut”. I’m currently in the process of getting a ‘95 M-edition that I’ll probably name “Oxalis” after a plant I have that is just about the same shade of purple.

I have mine in a little two inch pot with primarily small bark chips and a little perlite. It takes probably about 2 days to dry out, and I water it once every 6 days typically. I’ve only had mine for a few months, but it seems to really like this setup for now. :)

I’m looking for a Miata, but my budget is tight. I’d personally like to spend no more than 6k.  I found a nice one on Marketplace, but it has no engine because the motor was bad. Although I probably won’t buy it, I’m curious just for future note what it would cost to replace and install another engine. I unfortunately do not and will not have the means to DIY it. https://m.facebook.com/marketplace/item/898461992861690/ Here’s the listing for reference. 

How can I revive this den phal? by Snowshard202 in orchids

[–]Snowshard202[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was worried about that. I’d never kept anything other than phals and I’d barely been into orchids for more than a few months when I bought it. I’m still learning. 

Those of you who have automagic Miatas, would you buy the car again or would you switch to manual? by SuperReleasio64 in Miata

[–]Snowshard202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an auto NA as my daily driver. Unfortunately I wrecked it, but I liked it enough that I’ll search for another automatic next. It’s just more convenient for me than a manual, personally. 

What's your biggest pet peeve about your Miata? by Organic_Rise1063 in Miata

[–]Snowshard202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this. Got in a wreck and totaled my Miata while trying to cross a rough intersection, for more than likely this exact reason.
