I look at spreadsheets & decide things for a living. Self-professed crazy cat dude. Devoted husband, DIYer, lefty, tinkerer + I cook & I think I’m pretty funny. Big sci-fi nerd. Also, I believe blocking is self-care.

Saw one of these on the road earlier today and I was struck that this is probably the most exciting, fun car Mazda made in the last 20yrs. They knew they were doing something special when they chose that colour.

After 10 years of operation, the NAS is getting a little upgrade, from an old A10-7870K to an R5 5600GT - should run circles around the previous one + avoid any age-related degradation/failures which after 10 years I worry is around the corner
