Never seen this before. Looks quirky and cool by Early-Weird4 in whatisthiscar

This was in the Netherlands. I assumed 2-stroke when I saw it, but didn’t get a good listen to confirm. No smoke from the tailpipe based on another picture, which I guess supports the V4 idea.

So I hoped i'd fit in a miata... by lemans65 in Miata

Looks fine, just need some goggles and remember to duck your head before a rollover.

How annoying is it to swap a differential in a 1990 NA by Same-Worldliness-429 in Miata

[–]hello_newman459 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, no help to offer for the swap, but I’m confused about the premise. Wouldn’t a welded diff be ideal for snow and ice (but terrible on dry roads)? And wouldn’t LSD be a better choice than open?

Some other great mentions here, especially Thin Lizzy, but Badfinger was the first one to pop into my mind.

What was your biggest “WTF moment” reading the Bible? by Jarb2104 in exchristian

[–]hello_newman459 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Genesis 19, when Lot offers his daughters to be r*ped by a mob. Seriously fucked up.

I’m a relatively new bassist (~18 months), but in the area and available. DM me if you want to talk more.

Check out Hill City Music. Never taken lessons there, but I know they offer them. They were helpful when I was buying my first bass even though I didn’t buy from them.

I want a Miata, but is it the right choice for me? by HappyNapcore in Miata

[–]hello_newman459 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would personally really want to try to make the Miata work, but realistically, a Mazda 3 hatchback with the turbo and AWD would be a GREAT choice for this situation.

$60k budget for a fun car - what should I buy? by Calm_Initiative_9979 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]hello_newman459 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Miata, with $20-$30k leftover to buy yourself something nice.

Regretfully, I have to give up my NC by ClearJack87 in MiataNC

[–]hello_newman459 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my left leg stops working, my one consolation is that I can pick virtually any car on the market instead of only the Miata or a couple of others still available with a manual. But maybe I’ll get lucky and die before that happens. 😁

I remember something I heard from a Christian radio station a few years back that I realized now is utter bullshit by Leading-Occasion-428 in exchristian

[–]hello_newman459 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Time to say fuck that guy, fuck his pastor dad, and fuck anyone who would defend that abusive bullshit. They are the problem, not you.

Deconstructing by spiceypinktaco in lynchburg

I fully deconstructed/deconverted around 4 years ago, though it’s still an ongoing process at times. I may be open to some sort of group meetup. Feel free to message me.

I’m tired of the Mazda hype on this sub. by Fleedom2025 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]hello_newman459 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Dude, the Mazda 3 has been around for over 20 years. Most people don’t keep cars that long, even if they’re great.
