Myah's daddy, are you honking the horn on your miata?? I don't know about yours, but honking the horn on mine is about as effective as honking the horn on a motorcycle. When I honk the horn on mine the people around me wonder if they just heard Tinkerbell fart.

Not really on the old design part, the Ducati air cooled engines have been comprehensively redesigned in...

I remember my grandfather driving a Gran Torino with a 351 back around 1970 or so. He went from that to a Ford Granada (now there is a forgetable car). I'm pretty sure there was a base Torino, and the 'Gran' was more up-model.

Hm... that reminds me, I've never even tried the horn on our year-old Fusion. Maybe I should see if it works!
A "good driver," according to LEOs I've talked to, is mainly " courteous." It also goes without saying that he/she should always be in control of the vehicle.

I can't think of any good reason why we would. The shear simplicity of the design might have made sense in the past but the availability of good parts that make water cooling and FWD easier to implement make rear engine, air cooled setups obsolete.
The rear engine setup was largely a space saving thing. Well FWD works just as well for that need once we were able to mass produce good CV ...

Actually, peak torque is around 5k in the 1.8s and 5.5k in the 1.6s. The actual shape of the torque curve is a byproduct of the design of the engine. Many, many thing affect the shape... the bore/stroke ratio, con rod length, reciprocating mass, rotating mass, intake restriction, fuel flow, valve diameter, number of valves, cam profiles, valve lift, cam duration, charge in the intake...

I would go with function over form. I would get a pair of gloves that were warm. I've never had a problem driving with conventional gloves.

Unlike Slick 50 and other nonsense, from what I've read, products like Sta-Bil actually work. Wish I had a good link for you with some scientific proof but I don't. Worst case is you'll waste a few $'s.
The threat of old gas is real. However, for the storage period you're talking about of a couple of weeks, you're not at much risk. Best advice is to make sure you keep the tank...

To some people, $975 is a peace of mind worth paying for. It comes with some kind of warranty, unlike a used part off a pick-a-part lot.
I'm sure your friend who can afford a $35,000+ car doesn't mind paying that 975.

as for 60 days money back guarantee, it is NOT money back guarantee. since there is a $500 opt-out bonus. so in reality, it is:
you can pay $19,500 for a GM, or pay $500 extra at $20,000 for money back guarantee. it is not like Costco, Walmart, etc... where you can return w/o penalty. can you imagine buy something at Walmart, and be offered "sir, would you like to pay extra $10, for the ...
