    Default Stupid Car......

    The calls this morning in a panic she was almost to work and the clutch gave up on her.... But with some gear grinding and determination she was able to get it into her parking garage downtown.

    Asked her what it was doing when it died and it sounds like a classic case of bad slave cylinder.

    Anyone want to buy a 2002 Miata.

    Strap a midget under the car by his belt and have him pull the lever everytime you scream, "BANZI!"

    (or drive it home after midnight. No traffic, but big towns have their own problems after the sun goes down

    It's a 6 speed right? You can easily start it in 2nd and leave it there up to 52 mph.
    I’m a man, but I can change. If I have to, I guess.
