Took this photo the other night at my friend's house, parked in front of his open garage door. It was completely dark out, I thought the low light performance was impressive for the Galaxy S8, and I like the photo in black and white as well.

@Pwolf, EXIF: f/1.7, 1/4sec exposure, ISO 1250.

Haha, the contrasting difference between "married" vs "single/gf"

I don't know how long you have been married, but I'm starting to realize that you need to find time for yourself while still getting husband stuff done. It's like juggling, same with raising kids. If you don't take some time for yourself you will go crazy. It might not be as long of a drive as you would like, but even a 20 minute cruise can do wonders.

Haha, unless the wifey list includes gathering wood or foraging out in the foot hills (where the twistys are), don't think I'd be able to do both.

Haha, ya, been married for 7 yrs, together ~12 yrs, so ya, I know how it goes. She gives me sh*t but she lets me get away with a lot of stuff too. This whole unemployment deal does make it a little rough though since she feels like she's doing all the work and I'm sitting here eating bonbons (which I'm not, I'm actually eating Reese's pieces)

Looking for a job is almost a job in itself

Really miss having driving roads 15-30 mins away. I have to drive 45 min-1 hr out towards the foothills just to get a 30 min blast, before I have to drive all the way back.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some opinions on a car I found for sale...

1991 Miata
Original owner, always maintained, OEM LSD, OEM hardtop, manual transmission, and 115k on the odometer. The car needs some minor fixes, but mechanically it's strong, and the body is super super straight. They are asking $4000, but I think I could get it for $3700.

It seems like a no brainer to me, but I went on craigslist and found a ton of cheap NA miatas selling for a lot less. They were not at nice, but still, it seems like the demand for NA Miatas has really dropped off.

I know cars are not supposed to be an investment, but at the same I don't really like to buy cars if I can't flip them for more eventually. What do you guys think?

Clipdat · 08-02-2017, 12:01 PM

What is your objective/goal for the second car? Do you have a garage spot to store it?

Would it not be more fun to just put $4k worth of mods on your FR-S?
