Are red & blue lines under the pic are the calibrated references, whilst the car pics are not?

I've tried to get in a Miata once. Had to put the top down and my eye level was over the windshield.

I'm 6'4" and fit in my 19 just fine, I have MAYBE an inch of head room left with the top up. Now the solstice I tried to get on? No fucking way. Was it an NA?

Edit: sweet reference on the handle.

I live this image on the daily, in a Midwestern hell full of giant trucks. Probably 5% of those people also have lift kits, and far too many people have modified them to roll coal.

Back when I had my WRX, I had my infant son in the car. I get on the on ramp and enter the highway. Some asshole in the next lane decides to fuck with the little Subaru and blast thick black smoke all over the highway, so I gun it to get through and past and he does as well. I see the passenger sticking his dumb cunt fucking face out of the window and snickering and I just reacted and as I was flying past I whip and empty frappucino bottle at him, dude caught it with his forehead and I was gone.

I later regretted not just taking the license plate and just calling the cops but then... Hopefully that started a fight between the two.

I have a '73 Porsche 914 I restored. Same size as a Miata. Better mileage, too. I've owned one new car in my life. I'll never buy another.

If anybody wants to come burn mine...
