I felt veritably despondent after a very trying day. So, I took a nice long evening walk. I didn’t see much that I haven’t seen before on this well-trodden route, but I thought I would share some pictures that I liked.

I always can appreciate this subtle plum colored NA Miata with some fantastic wheels.

Update : HFV has no HFV recognized it as a 1995 M edition Miata! I didn’ t realize this was something really special. T hose wheels are stock too!

Nice Jaaaaaag.

This neighbor has quite an assortment of classic European iron under those tarps. One is a Jaaaaag exactly like the one featured above, and the other is this classic Fiat 124 Spyder, which is for sale right now. The last tarp really could be anything, though I imagine it is at least as eclectic as their decor.

Nice Accord. Really stands out next to that faded old Porsche and the vanilla Land Cruiser.

Just a regular old Vape Bro parked at the church on a weekday. Too bad it isn’t World Rally Blue or whatever that unapologetic red color is.

I wish I had a better camera on me, since I love this composition and the blue Mini really adds some interest.

Darn power lines! Get out of the shot!

I also like this one.

Nice shots.

Aa the new guy, what's DOTS mean?

DOTS means down on the street , no worries. Just a tag for carspotting, really.

There are a few derivatives, such as down in the parking lot (DITPL) and anything starting with DIT___ will be like that.

Also, Hour Rule means it is just an image , referencing a time where Kinja disliked images so much it might take up to an hour to upload a single picture (supposedly, I wasn’t around for that).

Thanks. The tutorial is much appreciated.

That’s a 1995 M edition Miata. It is my favorite Miata period. The color, the BBS whelels, steering wheel, shifter knob and matching e brake handle. And the ten top, and interior. With the Merlot paint it’s just perfect

It really is a sight to behold, even if I didn’t realize it was something really special. I didn’t know those wheels were stock, actually. Now I kind of want to actually cross the street next time!

Hour Rule just means that nothing has been posted in the last hour, so someone is just posting an image for the sake of having something new every hour.

S omeone told me wrong and I passed down the erroneous information, just as it should be in the great diaspora of confl icting facts.

It comes from the tradition that the forum should never go an hour without a post.  Don’t know where it started.

Probably from watching smaller blogs turn into ghost towns. God forbid that should happen to Oppo. At the very least, we have Pip Bip here pulling the night shift.

Those are actually the lightest stock wheels ever put on the Miata. They weight like 12.5lbs.

“A great year” must have been the understatement of the century. That’s gorgeous! If I see it again I will make sure to get some better pictures.

Well we’ve had a couple of hour rule posts in the middle of the day recently. The unthinkable isn’t as unthinkable anymore. But if we can survive the management dust up and keep getting new members, we should be okay.

And pip does yeoman’s work.

Well, you got me less than a year ago! And a few members have trickled in, though obviously regular posters will always be slow to turn up. After the Kinja scare people seem to have slowly returned as well.

Yep, you young bloods keep us young. 

I still consider myself new here with only 5 years or so under my belt.
