If you keep something insured year-round you get the low mileage discount. It's not a huge amount but that + pleasure use has it as cheap as two day permits per month and then you don't have to mess around with going to get it every time or dealing with storage insurance.

[JDMDreams]

I never get the low mileage discount cuz I switch plates between summer winter cars, how much off is it?

[immorality]

I was doing the 1 year and cancel thing for a while, but you can always buy a few months at a time. Last year I bought 7 months, and just let it expire and saved the cancellation fee and trip to the broker.

In the meantime, I brought home this disaster on Friday,






Immediately started tearing it apart and "decontaminating" it from years of sitting

[Dbone]

Yeah, that's generally what I do too. The low use discount helps, but a 10% discount is 36days. So if you don't drive it from Nov to Feb it's not worth having it insured even to get that discount.

edit: DannyDC2 on the youtubes did a great season at the Nurburgring with his MR2. His goal was a budget build MR2 to get under 8min bridge to gantry on a TF. It was a good series with him showing the work he did on the car, and the results of that work on the track. Good chill stream.

[JDMDreams]

Oooo how much did you get that for. They are about $10 but most are JDM + auto. I was interested until I saw the frunk size. Even a Honda beat has more storage. Xrs swap?

[UnknownJinX]

Some quick snips after a wash of the Miata. Thanks weather!

And no, the track isn't incredibly hard on the brakes because it's super tight, it's because at the end of the drag strip is Turn 1, where you do a 180. Then back straight for T3 is another 180 ish lol. Unlike what most people believe about the walls at Mission... it's a factor, but walls don't move.

I have been good so far, some life changes so I sold the Camaro. I still have 8 cylinders... Just across two cars. Honestly, I like the Miata a bit more driving around the town. You can flog it without getting in trouble and pretty much everything on it costs half vs. the Camaro. Especially gas.

I have never been to the Mission track so I dunno, it's been a while since I have talked to people about that track.

So shiny, mine is dirty AF.

It's shiny for like a week and then it's dusty AF. That's the problem with black cars. And I have two black cars.

Your RF is white so I would think it's a bit better? And RFs do look nice with the top up.

They add an extra fee for short term insurance so per month it usually ends up costing more. Like if a year costs $1200 then they'll charge something like $700 for 6 months.

What're your plans for it? I'd love to build an MR-S someday, they're one of my favourite cars to drive.

Mostly just a driver, but I'll probably sprinkle in some ES class autox in an attempt to be a little competitive again.

Someone else found it sitting behind a shop on Kingsway and shared a pic.

Yes, I've seen some of this, but he has a LOT of videos.

There's a decent size storage area behind the seats as well.

[Eff-1]

My car is nothing special (the black one).

I normally wouldn't post photos but but when I drove past the white one, I couldn't resist stopping and taking quick photos before someone saw me and thought I was a weirdo.

Audi has lost its design appeal, IMO. They're so "busy" where as Audi used to be all about being clean and sleek. It's like they are trying too hard, but losing their brand essence.

[JDMDreams]

They went from transporter to BMW, look all all the plastic diffusers, I was behind a sq5 and even that had fake plastic exhaust

Ugh... WTF... the understated teutonic design with yours is sooooo much better looking than all the flamboyant BS in the new one.

[Eff-1]

Yeah they went from clean, sleek design to this:

[JDMDreams]

The more I look at it the more the back looks like a kia

[AstulzerRZD]

To the 20 year olds that this needs to be an aspirational purchase for, this is 'clean'

Oh geez. They missed the grille when they were slapping on the badge.

Looks like a 2009 Corolla.

MUCH better

High demand is right. What a lovely Corolla.

[EvoFire]

BMW and Audi are both doing it. Their entry level sedan looks like a Kia. The 2GC is just as bad. IMO BMW did a lot better with the SUVs with the exception of the iX and G45 X3, biggest wtf ever. The iX3 looks good imo, as long as you don't get it in base trim.

[JDMDreams]

Same same
