This happened a few weeks ago, but I just remembered it thinking about that “feel good” story about the dealership that taunted a panhandler.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I had borrowed my mom’s Miata to install a stereo and drove it to work a few times. While sitting at an intersection a guy with a cardboard sign asking for money came up to the car. He didn’t ask for money, though.
The first thing he said was “is that a Miata?”
“Yup”
“Man, I used to have a Miata. All my friends made fun of me, but that was a fun car. They all made fun of it, but I didn’t care, it was so much fun and on a highway on ramp? They just hug the road. You know what they’re like? You remember those British cars? MGs? They’re just like a modern Midget.”
Then the light changed and he said “have fun with it!”

Baldness isn’t just a personal tragedy, it has knockdown effects on society too.

Were you around for the old Jalopnik article of how a certain member’s Saturn SL2 left him stranded, then jobless, and then homeless ?
So that Saturn cost me three homes, two jobs, and over a year of my life. The worst part? I left the small stuff, like the windshield wiper motor fiasco, out in order to keep this under twenty pages.
