i forgot, it is on H&R race springs, so it sits maybe 2" lower than stock ride height, i’m currently in the process of getting a stock suspension. also it comes with new-ish all season tires, i’m keeping the hakka’s.

i know someone wants a cute lil beetle. c’mon…with all the new parts she should be solid for the next 60,000miles…

great gas mileage too btw.

There were a number of ways I wanted to respond to this, I could have poked fun at the cro-magnon in the F-bod, or brag about my fuel economy, but I think this is best:

Just wait until I get my Miata.
