Posting from my phone, dunno why the image rotated like that

It lool like copper antiseize

>>17655852
this.

must be a replacement clutch cable and they lubricated it with an anti-seize compound. Usually cables are lubricated with some of that specific "cable lube" that's sticky and wont leak out under heat cycling.

Gonna dump some of these, pic related.

Literally the only downside to owning any generation of miata is the incessant gay jokes made by flatbill equipped mustang drivers.

It's so fucking irritating that I'm considering selling my miat a and getting an aw11 instead.

I love the car so much but it's for real so irritating when your entire family makes fun of your car for hours at holiday get togethers

>>17655406

> What are the disadvantages to owning a Miata?

Being a faggot

>>17655458
Hilarious and original

Because becoming the American BMW was their gamble at bare survival. Geriatric barges Fleetwood Brougham Deville don't sell anymore.

>2 naming systems in operation at the same time.
Why is GM so stupid?
Why is the XTS a sedan and the XT5 an SUV?

When you are shit you need to copy who is winning

I agree with the ctr and rs, but the others don't look too bad anon.

There was some research going into biodiesel which is pretty interesting.

OR E85, which is made out of ethanol, mainly made from corn and other crops. Can be used on most newish cars AS LONG AS the manual says that the car can use it, or the car has been modified to use it. Not too sure how renewable e85 is but since it comes from plants I'm guessing it is pretty renewable

>>17654515
E85 is still about 15% gasoline so in a future (far) where there is absolutely no oil left unexploited I don't think it will exist..

Biodiesel on the other hand sounds interesting, is it purely non-diesel or does it have some regular fuel mixed in it? Sounds like it will be renewable

What about self driving cars though? In lets say 1000 years (cryonics is a wonderful tool for, well, not dying) will manual-controlled cars be still available?

>>17654534
>in 1k years will manual-controlled cars be available?
I'm using the example of horse drawn carriages. Currently they are no longer made in production. Maybe joe blow made one in his shed last year. It's a sight to see one, but they don't drive on the road.

>>17654457
You've mentioned this like 20 times. They're the bottom of the barrel muscle car, not that that's a bad thing. They're considered a compact muscle car, which is probably a good thing if you live in Yurope.

>>17654462

Yeah, I just have never driven an old Muscle car, and since I am not in the US, getting to see one IRL is a very difficult thing to do.


I cannot afford any of the well known Muscle cars like the Mach 1, RT, GTO, Charger...etc.
How bad is the Maverick? Compared to a budget cars from the 80's, like a RX7 or a Miata?

>>17654473
it won't handle as well probably won't be as comfortable but it looks cooler

1nd for Harley slower than Vstrom

Buy the recommended fuel

Literally wasteing money and worse performance. "Premium" gas isnt better or worse than regular, its just different, and most shitbox tier cars run on 87. Unless your manual says otherwise, run 87, running different octane gas means different flash points, means your car won't run as intended. Its not gonna ruin anything immediately, but it'll hurt MPG and and other stuff down the line.

>>17654306
The Owners Manuel says to use 87 Octane. Should I just stick with that? I would like to use higher octane gas if it helps my cars performance.

>>17653911
>Do you appreciate how dangerous it is to drive?

What does this even mean? They were obviously a crap driver if they crashed it.

What car was that?

>>17653915
Anon, you cannot deny that road deaths are quite high.

http://asirt.org/initiatives/informing-road-users/road-safety-facts/road-crash-statistics

>Nearly 1.3 million people die in road crashes each year, on average 3,287 deaths a day.

>>17653738
I prefer Mister 2

MR2 normies will think it's a supra, normies think the miata is a sportscar

>>17653738
memeiata has better aftermarket by far

yeah dude bikes are sick

>>17653754
Same shit will happen if you drive your shitbox in the wrong lane at full speed around a blind curve. That cyclist probably survived with all limbs intact, you'd have your steering column through your chest.

>>17653767
He did. Pretty fucked up arm, but made a full recovery.

He's still a pretentious asshole though, as you've probably guessed.

I called in my AAA technician and he said they definitely appear to have been tampered with.

Get them back but don't slash their tires.
Make it something that could easily be an accident, like throw a rock through their sunroof while its raining.
