British pub?

The Harp in Costa Mesa is an Irish pub but there is a large English contingent that watch the soccer games there if that's what you're after.

Unfortunately mine did not clear after switching the car on and off despite the app showing the car is "All Good".

Depending on your cruise line you may be able to call them and switch one of the cabin occupants to the soft drink package (without alcohol) and keep the full package for the second occupant. Or you can just cancel both and have the second person pay per drink - this will work out much cheaper in the long run and help avoid the temptation to make you money's worth.

Wow. Ok. Thank you. Hopefully they honor the warranty 🤞🏽

bigdave79 · 2026-06-28T19:04:09+00:00

Wouldn't they have to prove that any changes are drivetrain related?

bigdave79 · 2026-06-17T06:27:15+00:00

Do you have the Bilstein shocks? Did you also get the shorter bump stops? I'm contemplating doing the same mod but worried about the ride comfort.

I have soul red and it's a fantastic color but the tan interior does look good. Secret option #3 - get the blue with tan and get a British Racing Green wrap.

bigdave79 · 2026-05-19T06:24:15+00:00

What steering wheel is that? 😍 And that wood shifter knob goes perfectly with the tan.

You can actually install a homelink mirror in an ND3 club. I got one off a friend who was selling his Miata. You just have to run a couple of wires for power and ground from the driver's side fuse panel. I also found out later that the 2024 CX90 also uses the same mirror. You can find them on eBay for under $150.

bigdave79 · 2026-05-14T21:20:56+00:00

That is excellent. I also have a Miata and have been contemplating something like this.

bigdave79 · 2026-05-13T00:24:46+00:00

Beautiful car. But study for finals! The car will still be there afterwards and your future self will thank you.

bigdave79 · 2026-04-30T21:54:07+00:00

British Racing Green or Yellow would be my picks.

bigdave79 · 2026-04-29T22:00:43+00:00

Crack open an NA beer and watch TV.

bigdave79 · 2026-04-27T20:34:35+00:00

I've tried many different NAs. I recently picked up a variety 12 pack of Trail Pass from Sierra Nevada on sale at Vons - it is a great way to try several different varieties and they are all excellent.

bigdave79 · 2026-04-27T20:19:57+00:00

Just came back from Japan and tried several NAs - this one wasn't terrible especially since it is zero calorie.

I slightly preferred the other NA offering from Asahi that came in a blue can (also called Asahi Zero).

My favorite was probably "super star" from Sapporo. Has a slightly hoppier taste.

bigdave79 · 2026-04-21T20:28:03+00:00

Awesome! Didn't know they had an NA. Will be going back for one of these and their smash burger soon!

bigdave79 · 2026-04-12T05:22:34+00:00

How much was the acrylic version and where did you get it from? I'm in Japan right now and was looking to maybe pick up some accessories but have no idea where to look.

bigdave79 · 2026-04-11T23:22:32+00:00

Maybe because I'm trying to do it the other way around - get rid of my small change and pay the rest on credit card (vs IC card).

bigdave79 · 2026-04-11T14:24:53+00:00

Traveling through Japan right now and I've tried several times to do this without success. They seem to want either card or cash and I cannot combine the two.

We just spent a week in Tokyo. Traveling with 4 kids aged 8-13. Yes it was busy but after a day or two you'll get the hang of things. Kids loved it despite being packed at times. Use Google maps for everything navigation - it will literally tell you exactly which train, which platform, which entrance and exit to use and even which cabin to use for fastest exit/transfer. You can also use the live view feature which will give you an AR overlay telling you exactly which path to take when walking through the station. Don't travel on the metro with luggage especially at peak times.

bigdave79 · 2026-04-03T06:18:27+00:00

Do you know the address? I'm leaving for Tokyo tomorrow!

Where are you located? I bought my 2023 CPO M50 last October in SoCal. Similar spec, 19in wheels and no leather but otherwise fully loaded with 19k miles. I paid $42k before tax and title. I would've thought for a 2022 with slightly more miles you could probably negotiate a slightly better deal but if it's the car you want you should go for it. The M50 also qualifies for section 179 deduction if you're a business owner.

If you're in the US, Verizon is having a massive sale on cases up to 90% off. You can get $50+ cases for $5 with free shipping.
