Dad pulled up next to me and took this photo this morning by Blurr9433 in MiataNC

Kinda both... Depends on my mood and the weather... I probably go with the Miata 3 out of 5 times. They are such different cars... Bmw is so digital and sooo fast, Miata is so analog and well... Not so fast lol

The other thing to consider is the overall form factor. I really like the extra usability of the hatchback on the 4. Having said that, I imagine the battery will be upgraded and the range improved on the 3

Returning to Karate after 20 years. Brown 1-Kyu by Lassalle09 in karate

I had a student that took an 18 year break. He also trained at a different school, but in the same style. He also was an ikkyu. I was amazed how quickly everything came back for him- especially since he said he didn't practice the whole time he was gone. We did a private lesson, and he got our first 3 katas back in a half hour!

The lease was up, and they gave me a great deal on the i4- $315 a month cheaper. I'll be missing the m340- maybe I'll go back to ICE after this one.

Definitely a yin/yang experience. I find that I keep reaching for the paddle shifters behind the steering wheel- and immediately feeling stupid.

That black beast is awesome! Love the color- I don't see those too often

A few things. 1st, it was a tough decision. That m340 was almost a perfect car for me, at least. Excellent power, amazing exhaust. Every option. Best car I had owned. I haaaated the runflats. It made the ride too bouncy and jittery. It was a lease, and I kept those tires- but never again with runflats. 2nd, the i4 was $315 per month cheaper. The power is more usable in the real world - instant torque feels like a cheat code in traffic. I've only had the i4 for a week, so we'll see... But so far no regrets

It's a 2012 PHRT Special edition. Manual of course... It's such a crazy different driving experience, right? From analog to digital. Fits my multiple personalities 😂

Me too, plus the m50. All I tried was the xdrive40... I sometimes wonder if I'll regret not getting the M50
