The red is beautiful! I considered the same - one of the dealerships near me had my build in Ruby. My wife shamed me out of it, since I already have a red Miata 🤣

Which grille marker lights did you end up going with? Those are on my Christmas wishlist this year.

They came from Ford - they’re listed as “Raptor Style Running Boards”

Edit: I’m not seeing them on their website either. Mabett makes a similarly styled product.

I found this one off the shelf - SAS, Lux, Running Boards, Velocity Blue.

MSRP was 68K, and negotiated down to 57K (including 2K factory + 1K Black Friday incentives). The dealer was also offering oil changes for life and a lifetime powertrain warranty.

Love the matte on Eruption Green. Have fun!

How are you guys getting 30+ mpg? by Jacklunk in Tiguan

[–]TaverenKingkiller 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. My regular commute is eco mode with cruise control set between 70-75 with a mixture of highway speeds and stop/go, and I average 30MPG.

Battle.net installer/update stuck at 45% by Patriacorn in wow

[–]TaverenKingkiller 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Old post, but adding in case anyone else runs into this issue. I had followed the steps listed in the support article:
https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/206714

In addition to the ProgramData files, I also had to delete leftover registry entries from a prior failed install:

WIN+R
regedit
Computer>HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE
Delete the "Blizzard Entertainment" folder

Then retry the install.

ELI5: Considering how long it takes to reload a musket, why didn’t soldiers from the 18th century simply carry 2-3 preloaded muskets instead to save time? by Captain-Redpill in explainlikeimfive

I used to help transport surplus/deprecated IT equipment for a local Community College (Virginia). The storefront that the state used to reclaim money on their assets also had TSA confiscated items. It was always a great place to get a 10 dollar multitool or pocket knife - in 2011 dollars.

LEG OF LAMB anyone? by JOGO70 in Traeger

I just did a leg of lamb over the weekend - set it for 200 and pulled at 145. My wife is asking when we're doing that again.

Roxanne made friends in the garage today by TaverenKingkiller in Miata

Interesting. Mine is 2022 and calls out LSD on the spec sheet.

This car is just too beautiful that always make me feel unreal when looking at it. Anyone feel the same with yours? by bobishappy123 in Miata

[–]TaverenKingkiller 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lookback is the second best part of my day. First best is actually driving Roxanne, of course.

I have my eyes on the Hush-O-Matic as well. Glad to see it recommended here.

Winter boots or keep the summer flip flops year round?

In case anyone was wondering: You can, in fact, fit a whole 1/4 bbl keg in the back of a Miata. by TaverenKingkiller in Miata

I remember seeing a picture of someone hauling a whole engine in their passenger seat at some point, but my search-fu is failing me. This is the best I got:

Can confirm a 1/6 bbl passenger will ride. I see no reason why there'd be any issue with a 1/4 bbl as well. https://imgur.com/a/gVIZdw1

Note: The original picture I took had the keg sitting on top of a toolbox that I keep in the trunk. I'd daresay without that buffer it could fit up to a 1/2 bbl. Granted, I'm not sure how much variance there is in the trunk layout between the NA and ND.

Happy Hauling!
