So, right now I have a 97 miata. I plan on using it for one more winter since my snow tires have good tread on em. After that I want to sell it and buy a hybrid/diesel to uber in for some extra money.
Anyways, that means I need a new DD. I drove an ND miata and I loved it, but never drove an s2k. I've heard they're holding their value pretty steady right now, the s2k's. To get a clean ap2 with low miles I'm probably looking at 25k, while a new ND miata club will be a couple grand more.
I plan on using this as my every day driver with the occasional autocross thrown in/Twisties in the mountains.
I do work at a dealership, so I might be able to get one of the managers to find an s2k at the auction if possible.
Anyways /o/, what should I get?

German push to ban sale of combustion-engine cars by 2030 wins cross-party support
A proposal to stop sales of new combustion-engine cars by 2030 has gained cross-party support in Germany's Bundesrat, the country's upper house of parliament, Der Spiegel reported.
German lawmakers should urge their counterparts in Brussels to push incentives for only zero-emission vehicles to be registered by 2030, the weekly news magazine said, citing a decision taken in a Bundesrat meeting.
"If the Paris agreement to curb climate-warming emissions is to be taken seriously, no new combustion engine cars should be allowed on roads after 2030," it quoted Greens party lawmaker Oliver Krischer as saying.
A switch to sales of only zero-emission cars puts thousands of German auto industry jobs at risk since the powertrain of an electric car requires only a tenth of the staff to be assembled when compared with a combustion-engined equivalent, which needs more workers to assemble cylinders, spark plugs, and gearboxes.

Ban My Whip
1) old ICEs will be grandfathered in, a handful of enthusiasts still using antiques dont contribute shit to climate change compared to shit like container ships, coal power plants, and airlines. No one with a brain will argue for them to be fully banned.
2) electric sports cars and bikes are fucking cool, embrace the future

if you take the badge away, it's a weirdly styled 2.0 front wheel drive compact
if you put the badge back on, it's the absolute favorite car among people who place way too much emphasis on outward appearance.

Need some help starting my grandpas 69 mustang, 351 engine, also a newbie when it comes to cars, so anything you can teach me is appreciated. basically it just won't turn over and I'm not sure why. just put in a new battery, distributor, and coil. pic related, is the engine

>>15977066
Smack the fucking starter, not hard though. If that doesn't work check your fuses, check relays, ignition, etc. Also when you turn the key to on, listen for the little WHIRR sound the fuel pump makes. If that all checks out you have some sort of electrical problem somewhere. You said it wont turn at all? Or it turns but doesn't start? Usually turn and no start is caused by
> Fuel
> compression
> Air
> spark
I could help you diagnose, but i need more details in what its doing.
>>15977066
>It's not turning over
The starter solenoid there on the fender is activated by 12v from the ignition switch being applied to the small post nearest the battery. The other small post supplies 12v to the coil during cranking for a bit hotter spark (can't use 12v all the time though it'll eat points up really quickly)
Anyway, it's really common to get those two small terminals switched around. IIRC the red wire (or black w/red stripe) is the one that goes on the small terminal nearest the battery. Use a test light to confirm that 12v is on that wire when the ignition switch is turned to Ignition Start.
