Chicago Aug 20th Tickets FS

Have two real seats at Northerly island, as I’m no longer able to go. $85 takes them, paid via PayPal so buyer protection is included. Would normally run $120+ so save a bit here. Enjoy true seats (the other sections closer are folding chairs that people often just stand on) for the show. Thanks !

I’ve defended the HK (EQ yo stuff, son!) and the Eyesight (you can turn it off!) but dang the HVAC vents are a PITA

When it’s like 99deg out and humid, man I wish you could just straight point the vents at your face… instead it’s like a Mesa Boogie amplifier and it takes forever to get it JUST right, and even then, it’s not right at my fat sweaty face.

Americans need direct air flow. Thankfully, the system works pretty well overall and it cools me down over time but dang, just a tad frustrating.

ND Miata to Supra?

Anyone make the switch? Are the power and looks worth it even if it’s not as connected as the Miata? How’s steering feel?

Roth Deferrals thru Employer

I believe this has happened twice now. I elect %s for 401k pre tax and Roth post tax, but all contributions seem to go to the 401k, there isn’t a separate Roth account. Therefore, where did those funds go, into the 401k?

I went into my investment app and today created a separate Roth account and will have direct amounts going into there now.

What am I missing from the first part ? TIA

Silliest cars that try to race / rev on you?

Happens fairly often and just shows how many people with nice / fast / sporty cars know nothing about the Miata. Today, a late model M340i pulled up along side me, nose to nose, waiting for me to jump. I’m like, seriously ? A B58 wants to race.. a Miata.

In the past, I’ve had the typical Mopar drivers do this, a few M8/850is, and others. I just laugh and smile and be like, uhhhh - do you feel threatened, dude? 😂

Feedback / Vids of stock exhaust with resonator delete? (Miata ND/NC )

Stock axleback preferred, or something quiet like HKS premium or quiet GWR setup etc. I would like a tad more sound out of my setup with the HKS , but not sure headers and /or a mid pipe will be too loud for my old ass.

Feedback from those with resonator delete and essentially stock otherwise ?

04-06 CRV : the absolute bombproof vehicle GOAT?

Oops - this is a first gen, even more impressive !

Still see these every day, everywhere. Pushing on like there’s no tomorrow. Commonly looking like they came out of bad day in Baghdad, but dem suckers just keeps on truckin’.

Perhaps the most reliable vehicle made in the last 25 years?

HK Audio Haters - What’s your EQ setting?

I’ve responded multiple times to comments that say how terrible the HK is, but usually don’t even get a response.

My typical settings:

+6 Bass
-2 Mids
-2 Treble

Volume : tbh, usually don’t go much higher than 15-20 max or so, I don’t think.

Sometimes I’ll play around with the mid and treble by just a few. So… those who think it’s a terrible system, what does your EQ look like then?

I truly don’t get the hate on this system, unless your EQ is jacked, or you’re used to a $5k+ aftermarket system.

Checked out this ‘05 S in Chicago area

Full engine (long block) done not too long ago - so IMS clear, or the clock just restarts? lol

Last owner had it for maybe 15years. On coilovers, shifted smooth, Borla exhaust. 60k miles… thinking of trading in my ND Miata for it. It was def a pleasure to drive

IL collections

Isn’t it 7years? Just got notice from advertisers that I’m being sued for a debt that was from March 2018. It’s past 7yrs, isn’t that the SOL - how did the firm sue? Best to settle or ? They have payment plans available. I believe this an old CC that wasn’t fully paid off in a ch13. Balance is $1900

200tw vs. 300/340 tw Tires

I mostly autocross, some HPDE track days. Recently did a track event and my old Falken RT660s took a decent beating of course, same with Bridgestone 200tw tires in the past. The cars on say Pilot Sports or similar tires, seemed to wear very well and perform well. I am by no means an expert driver, and I’ve liked having 200 tires for autocross, but maybe I’m over doing it ?

My daily has Vredestein summers rated in the 300 range and grip seems quite good.

Any thoughts on this? Perhaps I should be on 300/340 for track (only drive 7/10s) and autox?

Mothers’ expectations for Mother’s Day & Weekend - why do some do this to yourselves?

Been married 15yrs, have 3 under 15yr old kids. Both my friends’ wives and my own put Mother’s Day (MD) on a pedestal- not just the day, but the entire weekend, which many know is somewhat common. This creates a lot of expectations on a “perfect” weekend and behavior from the children.

If your children aren’t already behaving most the time, this weekend won’t be any different, no matter how much you mention or hint at it, or make comments about it.

It pains me to see my amazing wife and others, who then fall apart on this weekend when things are essentially normal with kids bickering or not listening at times, etc.

Kids are kids. They love their mom but they are still going to act the fool like a usual weekend and seeing your wife take it badly - personally even - is truly heartbreaking. I do my best and we’ve done activities and everything else, which she is thankful for. But inside, she’s hurting and it stinks no matter how you slice it.

I wish more could try to separate the MD holiday from some of the behavior and like any weekend as a parent, we just do our best.

Love to all the moms out there ! Toughest job in the world 💪🏻

EDIT / UPDATE : this is solely regarding children’s behavior, not related to inter marriage or relationship issues with the spouse ***

Current Miata owner, have owned a c6 z51 among many other cars over the years, a few German (996 911) and JDM (04 and 08 STI) too. I’m considering a 981 Cayman / Coxster as well, but feel like the upkeep and overall reliability may be better with the C7, as well as straight line speed advantage and lovely v8 sounds.

How has this car been for enthusiasts ? I’d imagine it’s a fairly reliable workhorse ? Always see vettes killing it at events.

New Hyundai and a new Toyota… ours looks a lot more practical, safe, and logical compared to these, so let’s give it a rest !! 😂

u/No_Tower_7026 — 4 months ago

So IMS went away after 2008, so quite a few years earlier.

Then bore scoring was the new issue? Or is that more over blown than the IMS thing?

Sounds like I commonly see 981 owners stating their cars have been quite reliable 🤔 🙌🏻
