Heat shielding temp measurements to share after fully hot (yes, in portrait mode because I wasn't thinking clearly).

Emissivity.
On the shiny parts you are effectively measuring the reflected temp of the surroundings, not the actual temp on the face of your heat shield. Shiny metal = IR mirror.

1996 Mazda Miata

This car needs a lot of work. The soft top has some holes in it, so the interior got wet and is in very rough shape. The car will start and stay running. But it definitely runs a little rough. It does have a rebuilt title as well. You will want to have a trailer to take this away.
On a scale of 1 to even?

It won't be long before someone combines this




with this




at which point, we're on a really slippery slope towards

Saw a new civic si hatchback today. Holy ****, if you think the Prius rear end is ugly, you gotta see this thing in person. I nearly barfed on my steering wheel. It looks like psychedelic robots designed it.
