Cars don't have electric heaters? I know the heat source is free when using engine coolant but really, how much extra in terms of efficiency could electric be...no more nasty plumbing, no heater cores that leak and valves that break, just a nice electric heater grid that gives INSTANT heat on those really cold days (just like your electrically heated seats by the way).
The US does not have an equivalent to the Nürburgring where enthusiasts and car manufacturers can work at bragging rights...I'm talking about an official and safe venue, not the Tail of the Dragon kind of thing. And yes I know every race track has track days but at Summit point anyway lap times are absolutely forbidden on track days. I'm not aware of any venue in the US that has the cache of the 'Ring.
No one makes a really simple fun, inexpensive sports car anymore. The Miata was initially there but like all models of cars has gotten more complicated and fussier with styling. Would there even be a market for a simple modern 120hp 1900 lb two seater that cost around $22,000?
Thanksgiving is a time for thinking, the wife would not be happy with me tinkering in the garage and food and guests won't arrive till later today. Many of you may be in the same boat.
