It's really nice to see that manufacturers are still interested in making lightweight roadsters. He did mention that there will be higher HP version available. Either way it should be a fun car!

yeah! it looks like they got it right with the Miata weight-wise. The most compact Miata of all the generations. Maybe Honda will be tempted to make another S2000-like car.

Recent article in Sportscar about Honda and HPD making inroads into SCCA competition with a whole host of contingency programs, parts, engines and cars.

I caught the Touring Car races from the Pirelli World Challenge and the B-spec cars really put on a great show. Surprised not to see a Honda Fit campaigning. Chevy Spark, Mazda 2 and Mini were the cars I saw.

Probably the only time I would ever consider a set of nutz to be halfway acceptable on a vehicle is when that vehicle is sponsored by a testicular cancer foundation.

Now, lets see all the targeted banner ads have fun with those keywords!

There's already enough "rule interpretation! " in racing. Lets not bring Lance Armstrong into it!

^ not sure about nut ads. I am seeing ads for Match.com though

And to think I remember people complaining that back in the day we had too many banner ads, most of which were for vendors

Has anybody else noticed that the critters are getting weird, probably because it's time for them to start spring and their usual pickins are still buried.

Saw a raccoon joggin' down my road and some squirrels dead on the side.

Saw three deer crossing the road mid-day Monday.

BE CAREFUL on your backroads, deer coming over snow banks is not good.
