Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

There's a place near-ish me that offers them for hire for a day. They're every bit as fun as you'd expect. Exhausting, but fun

No power-steering in those puppies.

Chris Harris did a review years ago on the old Drive YouTube channel, and the phrase that stuck in my mind is "oversteer wherever you want it".

I've only ever driven them in a sim. I've never driven a real one - I'm not even sure if I'd fit in one.

They're actually not bad for space! I'm about 1.9m / 6'3", and while I'm not that heavily-built I'm definitely not unusually slim. It wasn't roomy for sure, but I fit just fine. The lack of a roof did at least mean that headroom wasn't a concern

I did once have to back out of a purchase of a second gen Toyota MR2 because I was too tall. That was a deeply disappointing day
