I'll just leave this here. Took this shot of my car a few years ago.

I'd much rather drive the Miata. There's a reason that when I was forced to purchase a car after almost 20 years without one, I opted for a Miini Cooper. Sure, they're cute, but I was ecstatic to look it up and find it was only about an inch larger than my first car, a 1983 Renault Alliance MT.

Small cars rule.

Say it with me folks!

The big one should not be legal.

Emotional support truck vs. Sports car

I mean, a Miata is a good car, but a hatchback seats a family and gets the groceries.

I miss mini-trucks. Compact size cab with full size bed, engine from a sedan and 4wd. Good economy, much cheaper, great utility, better handling, less dead children, and a lot more fun out on the trails.

"It's the only thing that makes me feel significant in a society that I struggle to understand" - Large truck owners (if they were literate)

I mean these are also two different types of cars. But it is actually so weird to see even two cars of the same type made in different times next to each other. It’s like somebody messed with the scale slider in the level editor. It’s uncanny.

Checkmate

I get the argument, but it's pretty obviously disingenuous.

The 250 is much less common than the 150. There are admittedly plenty of them. The 250 is bigger in every dimension.

And even my WRX towers over a Miata.

I just think Miata to 250 is a pointless comparison. And I say that agreeing that Miatas are fun and that the 250 (and even the 150) are way, way too big. I have a buddy with a 150, and it's filled with his tools and lumber every day. I'd argue the 250 is totally unnecessary for 90% of trades, and I specify trades because your average Joe certainly doesn't need one period.

If you need to explain to Trump why many american cars do not sell well in Europe just show him this image. Chances that he'll get it is higher than zero at least.

I cannot imaging driving around this hulk of a car all day. How would I even find parking space?

I've tried to get in a Miata once. Had to put the top down and my eye level was over the windshield.

now a chart of how many kids each of these has killed in an accident

I live this image on the daily, in a Midwestern hell full of giant trucks. Probably 5% of those people also have lift kits, and far too many people have modified them to roll coal.

Back when I had my WRX, I had my infant son in the car. I get on the on ramp and enter the highway. Some asshole in the next lane decides to fuck with the little Subaru and blast thick black smoke all over the highway, so I gun it to get through and past and he does as well. I see the passenger sticking his dumb cunt fucking face out of the window and snickering and I just reacted and as I was flying past I whip and empty frappucino bottle at him, dude caught it with his forehead and I was gone.

I later regretted not just taking the license plate and just calling the cops but then... Hopefully that started a fight between the two.

the "i don't need a big car, my dick is big enough" bumper sticker needs to make a comeback.

I have a '73 Porsche 914 I restored. Same size as a Miata. Better mileage, too. I've owned one new car in my life. I'll never buy another.
