Post Not Fun Under The Sun

I don't think I could do that these days .

I managed to spend 11 hours riding a borrowed Motocycle Saturday, all twisty back roads, tiring but glad to discover I can still do this .

I suppose you just get tired of it after a while and walk away from it.

So I became frustrated with the honda because of the nanny devices. I like to drive with the tail hung out a bit and this car would not allow it. I got a quick sale but lost a little, mostly getting my money back.

I found a 99 10AE Miata.

I'll come back and give more details later.

Post It Didn't Make The Cut

That's too bad Tom ;

I'm hoping you looked online for 'how to disable" articles ? .

Miatas are wonderful little cars, sadly they're a tiny bit too small for me, I had to pass on a free one with super charger that was *very* fast .

The honda also was too narrow in the hips and ribs.

The honda is very tightly packaged. I did not belive I could find seats to fit the car and me.

I can't change my bone structure. I was hitting skeletal points at hips and ribs.

Getting old is problematic. My bones are adjusting as well. We need to race suburbans
