    BTW... I keep getting killed in STR. If I can't be fast, I might as well try to be funny!

    Wow, now I'm really thread-jacking. In any case, here's a true story:

    Freshman year in college, two friends of mine, Pete & Dave, were roommates. Dave was really drunk one night and in front of about 10 people attempted to say "Pete is..." while pointing to him. It came out "Peaches". From that moment forward, for FOUR YEARS, Pete's nickname was Peaches.

    So, in the same vain, if one was so inclined, POS Racing's new nickname could be:
    1. Captain Thai
    2. Thai Master
    3. Sweet 'n sour


    .... Just sayin'

    It's worked pretty well for me, so far.

    I usually do 5-10 over, as I'm sure a lot of us do on the highway. And yes, sometimes I drive like an idiot, but I don't brag about it. Actually, last week was the first time I hit 100+ in about 7 years... I've calmed down significantly since my early 20's.

    That being said, I did catch air last month in my Avenger rental car

    Roll bar is a good idea though, unless that extra layer of "safety" will further encourage stupidity on crowded roads or with passengers. Just be careful... Darwin could be hiding behind any curb...

    I had a longer comment with personal experience but decided not.

    Get rollbar, any rollbar.
    Get rollbar professionally installed.
    Remove passenger seat.
    Start saving for next car now.

    Keep the miata for a driver, if you wanna hit corners at 90+mph or a rush get a sportbike. I mean the pain will only be for an instant if there is a mishap. \\

    You start paying tickets, you'll have no money for anything else. Insurance will go up, too.

    Don't get me wrong, once upon a time I was young and dumb and yes, cloverleafs are fun at 90 MPH.

    Here's to hoping you live to see the light.

    There is a used HD bar on Craigslist, but I can't remember what type. No, I am not the seller.

    Multiple accounts are frowned upon. Email one of the forum leaders if you're having an issue. Deleting your new one now.

    I got the Hard Dog Hard Core Double Diagonal in my 01 and I love it.
    I actually like how much it stiffens the chassis, as well as the looks.

    Rollovers are only about 3% of accidents, while people getting read-ended is 30%+
    We live in a state full of trucks and SUVs that can easily have bumpers level with the trunk lid.
    That's why I got my roll bar.
    The 01+ seat backs are higher than previous ones, but regardless, if your head is above the seat back at all, get the padding.
