but the free shotgun is not free. you're paying more for the GD vehicle.

 

 

who negcat me? It's true. unless I'm completely mistaken about the general intent of car dealerships... are they operating out of the kindness of their hearts?

 

Someone wanted to see a Miata romping through deep snow. This is seriously easy for this car.

I had stopped to check on a mail man who had got himself stuck in the ditch of this road. Unfortunate because i couldn't help him, but he had help on the way.

 

This car sucks up snow so well. I get asked at least once a day about my choice of vehicle for winter driving. I wouldn't have anything else. I pass everything and unless there is 9" of snow or more on the ground it can't be stopped.

 

Ive worked in that industry. You as an individual can get a killer deal, but somebody is paying for it.
Giving away something with a car is a good way to get dumb people to pay full pop for a car.

 

^^^ And the leases and service department is where the money is to be made

 

I know what you mean. I felt the snow scraping the underside of the car the whole way into work this morning, but it was a trooper. Good tires make all the difference.

People at work think I'm crazy, but then, I did notice a hell of a lot of clean, dry SUVs in the garage when I got home this evening whose owners apparently didn't feel ballsy enough to tackle a proper Chicago winter today.


I also may or may not have driven out onto the helicopter pad and done some donuts while leaving work today.


Speaking of crazy (and relevant to thread):

 

this is what the weather is like here today. Teaching a newbie how to ride... kinda

 

**** the broken mobile app picture uploader. I had a picture for you.

 

Turbo exhaust. I don't see the problem.

 

 

Any cooling issues? :P

 

Sometimes. But you always know when you go through something deep enough to cause issues.

 

Watch out for freezing brake calipers.
Ask me how I know..

 

Yeah. This is actually a scary thing with Miatas. Snow packs in the front suspension and the heat from the breaks melt it then it refreezes on and in the caliper when you stop driving.
A couple stops will usually clear it up.

This isn't very bad. I've seen it much worse.

 

you are making me glad i'm a southern boy.
