Look again. I’m seeing stems on jalapeno peppers. Because they’re spicy hot and fire is hot?

Hmm, if you had no coolant left, that might be a different story. Typically, although I have no idea if it’s true in the case of your Miata, the temp sensor is at or near the water pump, rather than the engine, so when you’ve lost significant coolant (as opposed to, say, a bad t-stat), then the temp gauge may or may…

Probably not a heck of a lot. Remember, coolant flow immediately stops every time you turn off your car so your engine is just sitting there baking in its own heat.

My mom had (presumably still does, but she hasn’t used it on me in years) “the look”. Usually just a couple seconds of exposure to “the look” caused us kids to shape up for several minutes at a time. Presumably you need to use a similar technique to keep your car from overheating. Unfortunately, even as a parent…

Thanks for the reminder!

I love everything about this saga. Even if the car had broken, it would have been a great story (but so sad). As it is, I’m so impressed by you and your team.

Do you even downforce, bro?

Somehow, probably because I’m psychic, I knew this was a David Tracy article just from the headline.

We’ve had the Fox DVD for ages (I think my wife bought it before we were married), and I just recently grabbed the Disney Blu-ray when it was cheap at Costco, in large part because we the Fox DVD is fullscreen. I’ve got everything ripped, so one of these days I’m gonna sit down and add the Fox audio to the Blu-ray…

Love it!

It seems to me that assuming oxygen does leak out faster than nitrogen, after continued cycles of filling and topping off tires, the air inside your tired would eventually become like 97% nitrogen anyway.

This is all very true.

Torch, come on, man. You can’t just drop something like

Right there with ya. I have 2 1994 vehicles. On of them is my zero-fucks-given vehicle and it sure ain’t the Roadie.

“Death zone” was what immediately came to mind when I read the headline.

First thing I noticed too. My ‘94 Roadie has automatic ride leveling (aka, some kind of airbag system in the back), so I would assume this vehicle had it from the factory as well. Not sure if it would have survived the hearse conversion or not. So it’s possible that the air compressor failed or something.

My wagon (tan) and a sibling who came to say hello.

How about a car that’s already a spaceship?

I have a problem. See, I love Corvettes and I love wagons. So part of my brain is all “Corvette+wagon=awesome” and I can’t actually tell if it’s butt-ugly or not.

Yeah, me too, and it’s not the first time it’s happened.
