I need to put in some time checking out the other nearby places, I guess. Or never miss making my lunch.
Losing their lease seems odd, given the restaurant next door them went out of business early in the Pandemic and has sat empty since.

Also, you would probably never want to be a passenger in it, even in the newer ones. They are not built even really for 6'+, even the new ones as I understand.

Im the same way, I don’t want to stop for anything.
There are a lot of great pictures I miss out on though.

Makes me sad that there hasn't been a new one in a while.
If you want a huge time suck, check out Bad Obsession Motorsport on YouTube. "Project Binky" involves stuffing an AWD Celica drivetrain into a old school Mini. It's a whole lot of beautiful and creative fabrication.

I have to say, I really like the new miata……. If I don’t go Mojo down the road, I might go miata. That corvette speaks to me too though.

That said, I wonder how practical a Miata is for her since she is a very cautious driver and I suspect this car caters to a performance-minded driver.
Thoughts? She does have a birthday in August, so wheels in my head are spinning......

And then I got a new phone and promptly gave my old one away. Then I had to return the new one because it wouldn't charge. I was without a phone for a week. Talk about liberating!!

Regarding phones, despite being waterproof, they aren’t immune to the chemicals in a porta potty. That’s my PSA for the day.
