Relax

Dunno about Tcoat's glass, but mine's empty. As in bone dry with cobwebs.
Especially when I have long drives on boring motorways with cruise control.
So I will gladly drive an hour longer along twisty and narrow side roads, if possible.
That's another hour of listening to good music, as well.

Do you have anything interesting in your glass at this point, if I may ask?

Well that must mean you live in the EU with your time
And mother in law leaving could be a good thing, depending on how you get on

Shit, just read the Jalopnik first drive review of the 124 spider and it's back on the radar. Why can't I just make a decision already? (I'm lamenting this for you fine folk since I know you're probably about done with me by now.)

Good guess. Norway is not a member of the union, though.
We get along just fine, I couldn't have asked for a nicer mother-in-law.
But switching from coffee and small talk to cold lager and Jimi Hendrix was quite agreeable right now :-)

Sounds like good clean fun.

The photo ops would be endless; parking them in awkward positions and playing dead all around them.

It's not the driving that's so exhausting, it's the amusement parks and all those people.

Sounds good. But apparently you need to get the Lusso or Abarth to really appreciate it, and those are 27K and 28K, respectively. What would payments look like compared to your current setup?

For myself, I could never own a Miata or Miata derivative. I don't fit.

And then you hit 4. And then 5, and it's all downhill from there.

Nah, I love amusement parks, used to work in one back in the day. Besides I'm doing Fastpass+ at all the parks so no lines for me. (Yes, I'm that guy)
