M-m-m-my Miata

Now it can be told: the purpose of my leaving the country was not to escape prosecution but rather to drive the new Miata in Barcelona. In right-hand-drive, 1.5-liter, Japanese-market form, but still!

You can check out my thoughts here. Come Monday, I'll have some additional technical details and interview questions up on TTAC. Although I found driving a wrong-side-wheel car in an unfamiliar country a bit daunting at first, before long I was being my usual annoying self. However, the combination of the narrow Spanish roads, the wide trucks, and the right-side seating position can be a bit tricky...

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to listening to this Jamaican baggage handler mack on the chunky black girl at the ticket counter. "You need to have your fun in your twenties, girl --- you marry this man and you don't experience the other varieties of pleasure, your marriage last maybe one year, I see it before."
