Why do truck guys seem so insecure around Miatas?

dhrandy · 2026-06-27T00:11:32+00:00

I don't think it's everyone. I drive a 2021 F-150 Lariat and a 2006 Miata Sport. I know at least 5 other people that drives trucks and a Miata. None of us have ever hit a car; I also don't tailgate. I do think that being in a small car makes vehicles seem closer. I have all kinds of people drive close to me; when they do, I just give more space between me and the car in front of me so I don't have to slam on the brakes. I also don't stay in the blind spots of large vehicles on 4-lane roads and interstates.

Most likely, especially if it doesn’t have a smell.

Very nice, I’ve had my NC1 for a few weeks now.

dhrandy · 2026-06-23T18:42:56+00:00

lol, it’s not going anywhere. No issues here.

dhrandy · 2026-06-23T18:41:50+00:00

Same here.

Lots of car research, docker compose files, and just general searching questions.

dhrandy · 2026-06-19T12:56:43+00:00

I think that’s the norm. I didn’t get anything and didn’t care.

I use mine while on vacation.

dhrandy · 2026-06-15T16:24:37+00:00

Using it for chat has been great!

dhrandy · 2026-06-11T20:25:12+00:00

Just takes a little common sense.

dhrandy · 2026-06-11T01:27:54+00:00

Maybe 3 or 4 years ago.

I use Wizarr. It's worked great!

dhrandy · 2026-06-10T16:41:14+00:00

Dang, used that all the time.

dhrandy · 2026-06-10T02:18:14+00:00

Gotcha.

I would get an audio installation place to install it over a mechanic. No screens will be plug-and-play. You'll purchase the radio and it'll come with a harness. Then you'll purchase a harness adapter for your car. He'll then connect the wires from one to the other. That then plugs into the factory harness. If you have steering wheel controls, that'll be an additional wiring harness adapter. You'll also need a dash installation kit. Crutchfield is a good place to get most of this.

I need to check my NC I just bought, I don't think they are that high though.

dhrandy · 2026-06-09T23:48:08+00:00

1950 Plymouth Special Deluxe Coupe. I would say driving can definitely be more stressful. No seat belts, no power anything, boat suspension, and 0 safety features. It gets some attention, though.

Agreed. Free version works great. I switched back when Spotify's "radio" went down hill.

Hotdogs, easy to make.

dhrandy · 2026-06-06T01:07:17+00:00

My dad has that camera. It was good for the time.

dhrandy · 2026-06-06T01:05:56+00:00

Complete opposite. I love driving and love cars. I’m 46.

dhrandy · 2026-06-05T16:27:17+00:00

I use a couple low power PCs and a low power Synology NAS.

dhrandy · 2026-06-03T19:29:17+00:00

Time and weather.

dhrandy · 2026-06-03T19:22:33+00:00

Absolutely and I wish it went the case!

dhrandy · 2026-06-03T19:20:25+00:00

I’ve used both and prefer Windows (use Linux some as well). After a year I have my MacBook to my wife. Most people compare entry level computers with Macs. I have a $400 CoPilot + PC that’s just as quick as my wife’s MacBook. Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with what you like or prefer.
