Track package.... on a lease?

I mean, if you don’t want to be able to accelerate around corners, maybe. Or in a straight line. So so sketchy.

Small car with no power is very fun. Small car with lots of power you can’t control is not as much fun. Because of the dying part.

You’re so wrong. Short wheelbase cars can take such a hit on driveability if you’re powering the back wheels. Hit a big enough bump, and you’re going to be facing backwards before you can even check your mirrors.

So I did a little more digging and found that Chevrolet offers a 20% of MSRP cash back until the end of the month. For the car I linked above, MSRP is $76,935, meaning you get $15,387 cash back off the bat. That would put the price at $61,548 before incentives.

You’ve highlighted one of the things I really dislike about Autotrader/Cars.com - the prices they show often include all available rebates and incentive offers. To get that price, you have to live in a certain city or state, be active military AND a current college student, as well as a member of certain specific…

I let kids climb inside my Mini whenever I’ve got it at a show and they seem to love it. It’s not in great shape, so I don’t really care if they climb around, honk the horn (once they find it!), take pictures, whatever.

Did you drive one? Drive one after driving a Camry and then tell me which one you want. It isn’t a numbers car.

I mostly remember the novelty of it. Other than that, it was just milk.

Roadster Shop built their 730hp ColoRADo for SEMA, and they posted a video not entirely dissimilar from this one:

It’s not that uncommon, I’ve seen it in a few places in the US. Mostly convenience stores.

Your car is doing a whole lot more to protect you than it was even 15 or 20 years ago. I’m not going to dig too far beyond Wikipedia, but here’s a graph showing the relative rate of traffic fatalities per tens of billions of miles driven:

File this one under “properly secure all cargo before takeoff.”

If you park your Miata outside where it snows, you need a hardtop. It’s nice to have a defroster too, but it’s not uncommon for soft tops to have that as well. That’s about it.

I actually bought my hardtop in part because of the weather. It was the opposite, though - it was too hot to drive it with the top down during the day, and it rained every afternoon.

You’re right, but there is one obvious exception:

Could you guys get his name right? It’s Tuukka, not Tuukka. Did he not make that clear?

The work I’ve done and what I’m familiar with were never high enough voltage to require greater clearance than 10 feet. Of course, that means they weren’t 120’ in the air, either. More like 20-25’ or so.

Yep, the triplex lines going to your house are typically not going to kill you... but they can. It’s always a possibility, even if it’s not likely. His drop was old and deteriorated and the insulation was not living up to its name. I’ve been zapped a few times. It’s not fun, and I wasn’t even injured. That alone is…

Oh, I don’t disagree that it probably wasn’t necessary. But if you’re doing any work near power lines, you have to be aware of how close you’re coming.
