I don't know of it's worth the money. Have no idea how much $ is in it.

Insurance? Always worth it. You never know. :ohyeah:

Driving strangers around? No idea, ask Kevin.

Yeah, that last part. I might give it a try, since I have a genuine 4-door car now. Although, I don't need the money nearly as much as I did about year ago.

On second thought, I don't want smelly people riding in my car. Dog has claimed the back seat, already. It is his now.

I thought about doing Uber to pay for a 2nd car, but I'd need a UT driver's license and plates.

I'd rather just work longer hours as mechanic. I can do that anytime.

Depends on damper setting. Anywhere from 17 - 8012 Hz.

Is that FM or AM?

I sold my Harbor Freight 96"x48" utility trailer a while back, cuz Element and Mighty Max didn't need it. Now with Versa S, I may need another way to carry large items. I don't want to buy a shiityy pickup truck right now.  Maybe I will go with the smaller 40"x48" trailer kit. I could build it in my living room.

I also just realized I have two full sets of used 15" tires that I could use for autocrossing. The worn out Yoko S. Drives from Accent, and a set of all seasons off a Scion xA.  I could run the Yokos up front. I just need any spare set of 15" wheels for Versa S.

How do you get it out the front door?  Has to be awkward carrying it sideways..

The 48"x40" wold be easy to carry. The 96"x48" folds in half and rolls on casters.

Versa S loves the cold weather. There were several more horsepowers at 6500 RPM this evening. Very peppy.

Yeah man.

I think I am going with 15x7 wheels with 205/60R15 tires for the street. Almost final decision.

15x6 steel wheel for $39, weighs 24#.
15x7 aluminum wheel for $125, weighs 11#.
Such decision. I might rather get the cheap steelies for now, and mount my used tires on them (for autox)

Steelies are good for tank-ness (snow) and offroading.  Having a few extra pounds right on the contact patch can really make a difference.

"not much"

That is a pretty poorly written article. Is it too much to ask for a writer to even go to look at a car in real life, and maybe actually drive it?

I'm thinking of these Honda ripoff wheels. $100, 12#, 15x7. I don't want black, but whatevs. It's about weight and price.
