Inspired by recently buying a cajon, and my husband immediately buying another for additional living room seating because he loved it.

Sports cars. It sucks knowing you are contributing to climate change AND not even having fun doing it. Family sedans, SUVs and big trucks suck shit. So I drive my little MX-5 as much as I can now. And get to smile that I'm making double the gas mileage of my jeep and having 10X more fun while doing it.

No argument here. It's by far my favorite car I've ever driven, and I've owned a couple corvettes, a GTO (second favorite), a firebird, WRX. I've driven cars of friends with everything from M3s to 911s and honestly everything in between. Nothing has put a smile on my face like the MX-5.

I feel similarly about my compact. It's easy to park, it has plenty of space for everything I need, it's adorable, and I fill it like once a month maybe? Honestly sometimes less?

I’ve driven everything due to work, from compact cars to SUVs and even small trucks. I can parallel park with all of them, even with a trailer added.

I have once driven a Smart Fortwo. I could not park. I could touch the rear window from the drivers seat, but I could not park.
