I have been looking for the trans content here and didn't see the transpositive and transtimelines, glad I finally found something. Anyways, here's me, ~2.252 years HRT (4/20/2021). I work in the hydrogen industry as an engineer and I enjoy cooking and driving my Miata a little too fast until my partner gets sick (that's how I know I'm doing good). Currently 35 years old, for reference or whatever

What a nice uplifting post, you look happy! Miatas are cool, I loved mine.

[–] BongRipsMcGee420 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you! As they say, Miata Is Always The Answer. If it makes an acronym, it must be true.

I’m a big fan of recursive acronyms.

Welcome, its always nice to meet another miata loving engineer.

Thank you, it's great to be here!

Sometimes I wish it had ABS and I always wish it had less creaks and squeaks, but it's otherwise perfect: https://imgur.com/gallery/VC2lhpS

It looks good, I've always had NA's but i think I'm gonna go for an NB next time around. I've been feeling the miata itch lately.

Honestly glad to see some of these post gives me hopes that my transition will get going good after 2 years

Oh God, as a girl who has a lot of issues with her face right now, your pictures give me so much hope.

34 year old engineers ❤️

Welcome! 😄

Ah, dang, I know absolutely nothing about engineering or cars. I can't add a lot to the conversation.

For what it's worth, though, that picture is cute as all heck! I love that dress.

[–] BongRipsMcGee420 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why, thank you! It's from Old Navy's active line. It has built-in shorts WITH POCKETS and plenty of support so it's all I need to wear. I can sweat through just this instead of underwear, bra, shorts, and top. Efficiency!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

LMAO it has POCKETS?!? I am sold.

I had a Miata for a while, but upgraded to a Supra... I love the car, but not the attention it brings sometimes lol.

[–] BongRipsMcGee420 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

A Toyota Supra or one of the BMW ones? Just kidding, the new ones are growing on me now that they are offering a manual

[–] BassaForte 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Haha, yep it's a BMW. Honestly it's a great car, even though mine's an automatic (I specifically got a 2020, before the manuals came out, because I wanted to get it tuned for more power). It's not that big of a deal for me either because my other car (Focus ST) is a manual and I specifically autocross that one.

[–] BongRipsMcGee420 3 points 2 years ago

Best of both worlds, congrats on having good taste! My other car is a Golf Sportwagen with an auto so my partner can drive it, room for the dog and all the luggage we'd ever need. Not particularly exciting but it handles better than you'd think.
