Nice. It will be interesting to see what functionality it brings. I would hope it would display speed, but also mentions connectivity to blind spot cameras and backup camera too. From the picture it looks like it supports display of navigation and speed but that could just be a random mock up.

Also, I see there are now options for bike/surfboard/ski roof racks ($136 - $188)!!!

And a custom car cover option for $178. After looking around at custom covers for the Miata, that is actually not a bad price assuming it is good quality.

I noticed something on the configurator that they need to fix; if you click on any of the roof rack options, you can't go back to it and un-check it.
So make sure you want it first before you have to start all over until they get the bug fixed. (Oh wait, could that be considered an option?)

I've known some of my LEO friends to pull over the lead person holding up a line of traffic and give them the works.
That includes full sobriety test...........
Full car inspection for drugs........
Full safety inspection........
All on the basis that the car was behaving in a suspicious manner.
But hey...... That's alright.
Keep on being obnoxious because you can be.
Keep saying you were being bullied.

I'll still pass those bullies up when they get in a crash.

It's illegal to deliberately ride the left lane here.
It's also highly illegal to pass on the right on most highways and interstates here.
Plus someone deliberately putzing along in the left lane becomes a hazard at expressway entry entry ramps.

I'm not talking about putzing along. I'm talking about tailgaters when your already doing 5 - 10 miles over the speed limit while passing slower traffic. And they are usually in pickups, all alone, wasting gas and acting foolishly.

ps I can begin passing cars in Orange and still be passing cars when I get to Houston, 100 miles later.

If you'd make sure you were out of the left when not actively passing someone, I see no problem with that. Seeing a car you are going to pass in a couple of miles doesn't count. Life is short. Let them by. There isn't need for any person to be judge, jury, and executioner on the road. Perhaps they are on the way to the hospital (to identify a child or spouse) or perhaps they are missing something more important than minding the speed limit (or even a tad over). Why should any of us judge what is or is not important to someone else? Well, because that's how society works - how it has to work. I get that. Stop signs, turn signals, speeding, illegally changing lanes when turning right (going from far right to the left lane when turning right is illegal... one lane at a time, people)

And with Ty's comment which I agree with 100% I'm putting an end to this line of conversation.
If it continues, I'll start deleting entries because this thread is far more important because of the starting topic then where it is drifting off to.

Not gagged, I did exactly what I said I would.
Maybe you should read what was said a few prior posts before you comment.
