Lynn: What one gesture will prove your undying love for another ?

Alf:  A Mazda Miata.

 

Out on the garage, Alf streaming on the PC in the background while replacing the sway bar end links and shocks on my B350. Had to break from what I as doing , rewind to make sure I had heard correctly and when I did had to share.

Who knew Alf was a Miata fan ?

Funny. I would've bet that Alf ended before Miatas existed.

In reply to T.J. :

I'm pretty sure the last episode horrified me.  If you've ever seen the video for Megadeth's "Hangar 18" then you'd get why.

Are we talking about Alf, the alien furball that had a gastronomic fondness for cats?

I remember enjoying that show. Fun Fact: I went to college for one year and during that whole year, I watched precisely 30 minutes of tv and it was an episode of Alf

I heard this week that ALF is being considered to be brought back.  They were also saying that Max Wright, Willie Tanner, is not going to to be on the reboot.

My dog's father is named Alf. There's a strong resemblance, though I know that Gordon Shumway preferred cats...

Of all the 80s tv characters to appreciate the Miata, I would've expected Max Headroom.

ALF aired until 1990.

TIL that he had a Johnny Carson like talk show starting in 2004.

 

Huh.

Never knew that Gordon Shumway was a Miata fan. Very cool.

This was on the Manic Miata when I bought it, but I gave it back to the PO to use on his new NC:

Sorry about the potato pic.

I feel like this is an oxymoron with as many "how do I get more headroom in my miata?" posts I see.
