I managed 1.79 last year (60m not 36m) from a major retail bank. Insane credit and aggressively shopping around will do that — they even beat the usual CUs for fun automotive toys like PenFed and Alliant. I think for 36m it was 1.29%.

Yesterday my building fire alarm went off (two people burnt bacon for the THIRD time in 90 minutes), so I ended up outside.

I ended up passing the GT4 allocation (two actually) for a Boxster Spyder.

Yep, they were alright for their day. However, at the time she had a 17-year old Storm that was only worth anything as parts and scrap, and that’s what I could infer from looking at the back of it for 30 seconds. It had clearly been ravaged by many New England winters and fender benders.

Previous owner used to use a screwdriver to take the top off?

Having dealt with a few cars this low and with this bad an approach angle (hell, my car is nearly as bad and has no lift) there’s a few things you have to do:

Which Miata? NA, NB, NC or ND?
