I drove a friend's Miata one time, I think a late 90s/early 2000s, and I really didn't like the stock shifter- felt like a an arcade cabinet where the stick was too short. Even though the throw was short and I could shift quickly/easily, something just felt off about it.

I take it his transmission was worn or his turret fluid was low then. Frankly this car has the best shifter feel of any car I've driven.

Just the road noise. If only I lived in a place where the roads weren't so awful...

I had a similar feeling from my previous car. Low, stiff aftermarket motor mounts, rumbly muffler, and whatnot. All made it a bit of a bear on longer trips. Since you've got a convertible, eve if you have the hard top, it will still be louder than a full body car. Plus it will flex, so that's more noise transmission.

Two things:

1. I need to think more before I speak/write.
2. I need to keep up this walking. Did two miles today, it felt great.

Phone rang a little while ago. I answer and the first thing I hear is my 62 year old father scream "MORTAL KOMBAT!!!"

In the 1960's was it common place for people to pretend to be some sort of supernatural creature to scare people off in order to commit a crime?

How does Larry the Cable Guy star in movies? He's a character.

Does that mean that when he's in a movie, Daniel Lawrence Whitney is playing Larry the Cable Guy playing someone else?

There is of course a "runners high", but short of that, yes, just good general excercise is so good for you not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally. The body chemistry changes of course and creates all these "good feelings". Use the feeling you are having today as a way to motivate yourself the next time you don't want to do it.

I could use the reminder myself sometimes...working out is so great, and yet such a pain to find time for :/

Finding the time is sometimes harder than the workout itself.
