Oh yeah. And walmart sells a small car fire extinguisher that I found will pop into the glove compartment. I didn't want to mount it out where the 15 year old vandals could get to it if the top was down. :^)

Probably the only thing maintenance wise I have yet to do it attend to the brake rotors. I can feel the pedal pumping when coming to a stop and I am sure they are warped. Years back I had to replace them on a geo metro and the wheel bearing had to come out with it. How about on these?

On the kick they are independent from the hub.

About running cool in winter

I found out if you run stronger than 50-50 antifreeze the cooling system will overcool it. 50-50 works better.

The new 195 degree thermostat has really helped out the winter running. I found another issue which was the driver door was letting in a considerable amount of draft at the back of the door. The u shaped door latch on the body had moved and the door was no longer making a seal. I losened the screws and tapped it in and retightened and it elminated more of the wind noise and cold air coming in right behind my head. :^)
