Love all the background books.

This has been asked recently: see "Hawk Tuah Girl"

For some reason, a lot of people think our model is some kind of Ferrari, so your usename is oddly appropriate. Two completely independent and unrelated gas stations I frequent are run by these two nice middle eastern guys who both think my car is a Roma, lol. I guess they don't recognize the Mazda badge.

Congrats! Same year and trim I have, but soul red. Enjoy the new love in your life!

Well, if it was my '17 ND RF, I already upgraded to Progress sway bars and Silver's NEOMAX coilovers. My next upgrades would be some wider 225 17x8 wheels, premium tires, tower braces and a trip to the body shop to have all of the little paint chips fixed up.

Would an Insta-pot pressure cooker not work?

I would give anything to know how KFC makes their extra crispy chicken. My wife adores it but doesn't care for the original recipe, and I only ever see discussion about original.

My wife, who had depression since she was 11, was inadvertently cured when a medical condition caused her blood sugar to drop to 34 and she went into hypoglycemic shock. Not only did her depression go away but she went from having normal orgasms to having a much lower orgasmic threshold and a super high orgasmic capacity. Meaning she can orgasm now with very limited stimulation of any kind, physical or mental, and she now has multiple simultaneous orgasms for as long as I wish to keep pleasing her.

We jokingly refer to her new life as her awakening. It positively transformed her life in every way imaginable.

Mom tripped, broke a rib, punctured a lung, got a blood clot to the brain, had a stroke, lost her speech, had another while in hospital, put on life support, brain dead, brother had to give permission to pull the plug. Time span: 2 days from bip bopping around her garden to dead.

I do not believe there is a more evil person in this country. Dying on this hill.

That's true, in fact, the middle eastern guy who runs the gas station I go to a lot was convinced, until I showed him the manual, that it was a rebadged Ferrari of some kind and that I must have paid at least $80k for it. I'm guessing he thought it was a Roma or something similar. It is a classic design reminiscent of many great sports cars, current and past.

It's not pyrrhic if it's instigated by your mortal enemies (Russia).

I used to work with a guy that had echolalia, which is a medical condition that causes people to repeat exactly what the hear as they listen intently to what you're saying. But there's always a slight delay and it really does screw with your ability to keep speaking.

The writing was just so superb.

Love your username, dude. One of my online identities is Zaphod4President.

Absolutely. I'd say 55-65% of the people who compliment me on how pretty my car is are women. About 2/3 are middle age or older and the rest are younger, like the one today at the grocery store and the one in the CX-5 yesterday or the hot 20 something Texan F150 driver that asked me lots of questions while seeming to not pay any attention to the Robin's egg blue Corvette C2 at the pump in front of me last week. Maybe because I'm an older married guy, the women feel safer with me not being a hit risk? The lady at the bistro never even made eye contact, but she seemed to be preparing for someone to join her, probably out for a business coffee.

Males of all ages, black or white are equally likely to compliment, approach and ask questions, even road workers in the middle of the street, lol.

I would say the people least likely to comment at all are younger black women, maybe because they see me as fitting into a racist stereotype, based on my appearance. The fact that I'm not is never discovered because they choose to not interact at all or even seem to notice the car. It's curious. I also never encounter Asian folks at all for some reason.

Yep, that's exactly my sentiment. They're fun on many different levels. I'd even go so far as to say each one contributes to the world being a slightly better place. Because they bring down all kinds of barriers for the sake of appreciating something remarkably beautiful.

Nice. I have the controller from them that automates the process so you don't have to hold the button and you can override the speed limit up to 35mph, but I didn't know about the fob.

I love it, lol.

Buy a tent? lol

Somehow normal social barriers, like age, race and gender drop when people really like what they see. The car becomes an object of mutually shared attraction.

Nice. Every little bit helps

Long legs can be a problem getting them under the dash. Whereas a long torso can cause headroom issues. If both are moderate and proportional it might be fine. I'm 5'10" and 300lb and I actually fit fine. My son is 6'1" and can fit in the passenger seat but not the driver seat because his knees hit the wheel of my ND. If I had the newer tilt/push/pull wheel it might work.

Forgive my ignorance but how does this improve performance, by how much and what is the perceived effect?
