The Car!
Miata's are awesome cars. My buddy has one, and I wanted one but could not comfortable daily drive it, I feel I am too large to do so. When I can have another car, a fun Miata or the summer is the goal.

I'm 511 ish and don't find it too small to daily, I'll even take it skiing when the roads are clear, that said I have access to my dad's Volvo when I need a bigger car

2007 Dodge Ram 1500, Quad Cab.

I call her Big Bertha... She has two 10" Rockford Fosgate P1's with a custom box tucked under the backseat.

I just rolled 202,000 miles on her, but she runs like a champ.

2002 Subaru Forester 197k
Upgraded sound system with two twelves.
Thinking about lowering this summer it is just super impractical.

Bags?
It might be more expensive, but some systems offer the performance of coilovers, and can raise higher than stock and put it on the ground.

share an 08 titan with my dad, super dark metallic forest green, on flat black wheels. Trying to get him to throw methods and 33s on, but he's not into it.

This summer i am either buying a 1st gen access cab 4x4 tundra, or a 2000-2005 4x4 f250

it is easy to go static with a forester, unless you were looking for insane fitment, you can stil be comfortable on coils and not dish out 2k

Hi I'm Jake, I drive a 2000 Dark Emerald Pearl Honda Accord sedan, 2.3l, 5 speed. Does snowy handbrake drifts like a motherfucker, is surprisingly fun, and the (usually dirty) paint is the most beautiful green I have ever seen on a car. No real mods, just smoked headlights and a ski pole grip shift knob

this was the first version, I just cut off the lower part of the pole and it just held itself by friction on the bend in the shaft of the gear lever. I currently have one that holds itself tightly on a nylock nut and a regular nut that is a bit slimmer and looks a whole lot better. I would highly recommend a ski pole, or even better a long, weighted, racecar shift knob, in any car, it just feels so right.

I am just finishing up a big maintenance job on my truck, because it was a little shaky after 261k. When I had to fix or replace something, I would put a "performance" or otherwise upgraded part in it's place if I could. The shocks were gone, so new Bilstiens went in, and the broken headlight housings are being replaced with projector housings with halos and leds.

yeah i'm kinda viewing it the same way. quality parts go back in, looking to upgrade certain things if their time comes. i'm still on original suspension so i expect that to be a fun project in the next year or so. should give me a chance to do a mild (tasteful) drop and keep costs reasonable as i plan to do the work myself
