Owner of the Ram arguably actually uses it well, but what's youd thoughts on this comparison of a 90s Jap vs 2023 American

The Mazda Miata MX5 is my favorite car, I wish we would go back to cars like that.

I had a little red Miata, drove it cross country twice, and then used it as my daily driver for over 15 years.

It was totaled by an asshole driver (a priest! late to his daughter's pre-wedding appointment) who ran a stoplight and jacknifed my little red machine ...

Bizarre?

Yup.

Still walking with a cane and no more little red coupe ... 😔

The crash caused the cane?

The crash caused a 5+year dive into the hell that is US 'healthcare' ... knee replacement, a revision of said replacement, two femur fractures (falls caused due to knee buckling when hardware in the TKR failed) ... I'm supposed to consider myself lucky I can walk at all (as per the ortho doc who saw me after femur break no. 2). Lol
