Taking a moment to praise the current gen MX-5, the only attainable-by-a-normal-person car to my knowledge that has got smaller and lighter than its previous generation.
I always call it an MX-5, and so does everybody I know
I own one (albeit a rusty 2005 NB model I bought for £600, not a new one unfortunately), so it gets spoken about a lot
Are you from the US/another market where it’s sold as the Miata? Because here only people who are really into MX-5s would even know it gets called a Miata in some markets
Oh that makes sense, there was a different comment/post a while back complaining about Mazda “retconning” Miata’s into MX-5s (American Market/Presumably to drop the Miata name) that brought this to mind.
What did Honda ever do to you?
On the other hand… Lexmark… I think we can all agree printer manufacturers get the wall.
“I don’t care that I’m out of magenta! I’m trying to print a black-and-white text document!”
Simmer down friend. We’ve all been there. ;-)
I’d take Lexmark in a heartbeat over HP. The fact that HP wasn’t included instead of Lexmark is the biggest troll of the image.
They made the civic too fucking big. I could stick my old 87 hatchback in my front pocket.
All cars are too big now

Random ask, do you call it an MX-5 in person? I swear I have only ever seen MX-5 written, eg car magazines/auto blogs, everyone just says Miata irl.

For NA it was originally an “MX-5 Miata” they dropped Miata for the NC/3rd generation then brought it back on the newest (ND/ 4th gen) ones.
Ohh I had no idea about that. But yeah I’d probably continue calling it a Miata if I were in that situation too
