My daily driver since purchase (January). I'm spoiled now; I don't think I could go back to anything else.

Yep, 5 point harness, and it is a bit of a ***** to climb over the cage and plop into the seat. However, its worth it, I enjoy it every time I drive it.

My Boxsters were great daily drivers.

Great in snow...


Could haul all the groceries...


..and nothing was more entertaining on a sunny day!

Of course, now I'm back to something a little more conservative (although I do like my Subie!)

My Daily driver. 1 bail of hay per day.

yeah but you're a serious methane emitter (and so is your vehicle)

M325ix I am located just north of Toronto, ON. If you don't mind driving up here from Jersey, then by all means. You have a place to stay if need be, I am sure the neighbors won't mind a blue and yellow RSR parked on the driveway.

Mike, you should think about a belly pan condenser, procooler, new evaporator, a few upgrades like that.
