Post all your commute related musings and cool things you saw!

Pretty normal for me. Found a short cut through the university to avoid the commuters.

Saw the most random Miata I have ever seen too. Wide wide wide tires that look stretched but the car was not stanced. Tires almost looked like off road tread. Had a red door on the drivers side and a hard top that looked Macgyvered on. A scary looking rig for sure.

How was yours!

Race Miata for your viewing!

Got a bit o' oppo 3 times just leaving my neighborhood, roads were solid ice. The highway getting to work was clear and I am really glad I did not enter the exit ramp at my normal speed, not clear at all.

Sounds like mine too, "drifted" around like I was Ken Block!

I am lucky enough to see a Red Lotus Elise on my commute everyday.

On way to work - this guy came flying past me in a shit box, switched lanes 3 times with 0 turn signals, on the way home - got stuck behind a bus stopping at a bus stop, then turned onto the main road and a STI came flying up on my ass (and I thought I was meant to be the douche bag since I'm a Z owner..hmm) I continued driving normal, then turned off, and drove behind a semi that was going 8 under, then he turned, and ..I finished my drive without anything else happening, lol

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

did not include any details, but the morning mess turned me into an asshole driver. It had been a while since I went into "a safe" HULK mode!!! Just trust me when I tell you that people just cannot drive

Some jackass in a classily modded bimmer accelerated quickly dashing from the very right lane to the very left (4 lanes) nearly clipping the left of my rear bumper, scaring the crap out of me with his roar, and seeing him dash away through traffic at 100+.

I don't promote the brand stereotypes but at that moment the guy totally fits.

I'm getting ready to make my commute for the day. Start at noon so we'll see what there is to see.

I just saw a salt-crusted windshield. The washer stalk in the Galant is broken, so all I can do is pull over and rub snow on the windshield once it gets too grimy.

Mine was excellent. My wife and I usually commute together, which I don't mind, but today she had to leave early in the VW for an early meeting, so I got to take my Miata and drive like a bat out of hell. Took several trips to redline and I'll probably have a big stupid grin on my face for the rest of the day.

Very true. Some days, I drive this car and it's like "what the hell, where's the power?" but then there are days like today when I realize you just have to rev it out and let the engine sing. The fun is just beginning at 5000rpm.

RWD and low to the ground among a mess of lifted trucks. This can't end well.

We can only hope that he takes care of it. So we can see it slide around when the weather is better.

Couldn't move my car into the driveway from the street lastnight because of the doors being frozen shut. So this morning I went out and chiseled some ice off of the windshield got the door open, did a donut in the frozen street, then calmly pulled it down the driveway and walked to class slipping and sliding the whole way! They seemed to have forgotten the salt for the sidewalk on campus yesterday.

Shitty. I didn't see any interesting cars that I hadn't seen before, got stuck behind some slow people, and had to deal with both speed cameras and roadworks. I've got video of it all, too. So I can relive the boredom.
