I'm pretty sure that having Tim's airbag upgrade sitting in your passenger seat would keep you from noticing the miles "racking" up.

All of a sudden I really want a Takata five-point harness.

I bet 95% of you have never read the name on that thing, I know I only did to make the joke.

It would be ok if these would blow up in your face rather than a Porsche airbag.

Hey Phil, have you ever calculated what your cost per mile was for the C4S, including filling the tank with gas (both times), repairs, maintenance, replacement parts (sulfated battery), insurance?

I figure the cost has to be north of $10.00 per mile!

Not that I'm trying to in any way. OK, maybe I am doing that, but just a little!

I started reading the name on the belts a couple of different times, but only made it to the TA. After that I just assumed the name of the belts were TATAS, which is a perfect fit!
