new vehicle for the deadone

[angus]

More like an early-20th Century toothbrush mustache. You could call your car Hooptie Adolf. 

I'm with you, man.  Leave off the front plate.  Fight the power!

You manage to get it to turn over yet?  Brrr.  Brrrrr.  Brrrrrrr-ka-burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.....

Walmart sells car batteries cheap, and installs them for free.  If you're not one of the rabid anti-Walmart posters who congregate here, you should consider them.

Okay, no one has asked yet, so I'm going to have to embarrass myself.  I'm a little unclear on what you meant by the "ride height."  Are you talking about the Low Rider option, like making it hop like a Cheech and Chong hydraulic lift?   In the sense that the suspension of the chassis can be adjusted from inside.  Like this?

Got it.  A picture is worth a thousand words and I appreciate your use of it.

I got groceries with it yesterday with the top down because it was a nice warm 35.  Wasn't chilly at all.

Damn straight that's warm.  We're having a cold spell just now.  It's about 15 and windy.  It bites.

I had a tiny battery in the back for a few years, too.  It was a Fiat Spider ragtop, 1981.  I bought it in '85.  It was a fun car, but expensive to get fixed, easy to break, and had a number of engineering faults.  I would never, ever buy a Fiat again under any circumstances.  On the other hand, I've had two Mazdas, one new, one used, and I'd definitely consider another Mazda.
