Wind, heavy rain, hail yesterday. Winter here despite no snow is still so brutal. Apparently the rest of the day will be nice up into the weekend in the upper 70s. Talk about bipolar weather.

People go in to see it and some like it and some don't. The group that dislike it are more vocal and like fire, their word of mouth spread.

Neat idea, though Miatas are very light, and super light cars are more likely to lose control sometimes. A good alternate would be a Nissan 240sx. They're overrated for a good reason. You can find old shells with not too much rust for dirt cheap. Fix 'em up and swap in practically any engine you want - 13/20B rotary, V6, LS V8, SR20DET, 1/2JZ, etc...
Yep. Both cars have quite an enthusiast following. The shorter wheelbase on the NA Miata makes it naturally twitchy making it prone to snap-oversteer. This is why it's harder to drift with a Miata. A remedy is adjusting an aftermarket sway bar either for more or less oversteer to allow more handling neutrality.

I'm thinking about a NA Miata with more power. Turbo or supercharged with around 300hp is plenty for that chassis. Heavy suspension modifications and upgrades including sticky tires. Probably going to be a dedicated track car that can keep up with Porsches, M3's, GT-R...etc..on the race track.

My first and current car is a green 1991 Mazda Miata.
British Racing Green Miatas are my favorite. Green on tan is so classic.

This episode seems off for a bit with Fluttershy's alternate personalities going a bit too far to the point of insulting the customers. She didn't stop and came to realize that she herself were driving the customers away, ultimately going against Rarity's wishes and her element of kindness. Of course, not the first time as seen in "Putting Down your Hoof". Seeing this as the opposite of her character in which the way she removed herself from her friends when they came to help her realize her fault is really quite shocking for Fluttershy, regardless of which persona she pretended to be. The turnaround in this episode felt flat, like Fluttershy knew what she caused and yet when she got to the point of termination by Rarity she openly stated and acknowledged her mistakes like it was like a game of some sorts. The resolution felt contrived and the last bit with her and Rarity criticizing yet another customer felt like it wasn't needed after the previous events.

My first car is a Mazda Miata. It handles great and is really fun to drive in the corners. Mostly stock and with grippy tires, it's a blast!

I'm pretty close to 3 great racetracks in NorCal. Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, Thunderhill and Sonoma Raceway are all very great tracks to see amateur and professional level racing.

I've been into cars for the longest time since I was young. I grew up helping, tinkering and learning about cars with my Dad and brother. I'm currently into Miatas and they're a blast to drive hard in the corners even though they're not fast on the straights. I also into the whole JDM car scene with too.

It's the time to spread the Magic of Friendship not just in Equestria but to other new unknown regions too. It can help portray how powerful and important it can be to others whom had not heard of it. Starlight and her group can potentially expand and apply it in their journeys to new lands and such. As a resolution for the show, it is good to see it really help others in far places.

Starlight has grown and learned a lot about herself and of her friends since becoming Twilight's student. It's amazing to see her change and transformed into an confident and expressive pony who once left a life of control and fear to eventually become a pony who can understand, feel and share herself to her freinds due to how friendships can work.

Leftover bread ends with packets of ketchup and the absolute worst one is not having a meal at all.

I've always have a generous liking for plants when I was young. While most other kids have toys, I insteaded to rather have an assortment of plants which I can take care of and grow. One plant at my windowsill, one in the bathroom, another in the living room. Pretty much everywhere to the point where I was literally living with my plants and it also got pretty messy too with the constant soil and watering cans.
There was one time when I was trying to grow a banana tree indoors in a container. I took it to the bathroom and put it near the tub whenever each time I take a bath to mimic the tropical humidity typically associated to where it grows naturally. It wasn't long until my Mom had notice my strange-doings and eventually the tree outgrew me enough to prevent me from carrying it comfortably. Pretty weird... and actually, I'm still pretty much like that even today. Well..not as weird but I'm still learning and taking my consideration for my initial liking and care of plants.

I finally upgraded my laptop to Windows 10 but unfortunately my drawing tablet doesn't seem to like it.

The silent and crisp night sky surrounded me in the most shivering way possible. My breath became visible under the faint glow of distance lights as I hurried along in the darkness. I feel the chill, cold and icey as I remembered for Winter has finally came.
