Maybe he spilled coffee in his lap while cruisin down the freeway... Ended up running off the road, car slid sideways and started rolling down the hill and landed rubber side up on another street..

I have fucked up sciatic in both legs so I don't want to risk changing the angle that I sit at. I can manage about an hour and a half in the miata with no pain, I really don't want to mess with that.

Going to wear a helmet all the time?!?
Sam. Just get a street bar and call it good.
Won't sit tall enough to keep you from getting road rash on your head should you roll but you won't get crushed. You also won't whack your head in a more conventional accident.What is this? Post # 327 by you about roll bars?!?

Niether was his fault, the first was a rental that slid sideways on some ice beneath a bridge, then the tires gripped on the other side and flipped the car. He enjoys recalling the look on the clerks face when he returned their car on a flatbed.
The second (the one I saw happen) was in '95 in Milwaukee in the parking lot of the Brewer's stadium. His DS '87 Civic Si with no mods other than DOT slicks found too much speed and grip on entering the slalom. Right, left, roll!
PS - I've been out of AIT for nearly two years and have my Sergeant promotion board on Monday

I just got flashbacks of Jackass the movie when you said returning a rental on a flatbed, LOL
Being out in Cali learning Arabic doesn't count as AIT?
In case you wanted to know, According to my recruiter my waiver should be back this week and I should be swearing in by Monday if all goes well.

I walked away with the cut to my head and a cut on my shoulder, no one stopped the entire time it took for the state police to get there (almost a half hour) and the semi driver kept going so I didn't get a dime for the incident.
EDIT: stock seats, seat belt, softop, no roll bar/style bar/etc...
