I considered picking up a dead one from a local garage while I was looking for a host car for an EV project.

Thanks for the warm welcome.
Spin is a temporary fun car until parenthood descends (I've got another couple of years). Having it has been *very* educational. It's my first rear-wheel drive car, my first convertible, and the fastest. I'm not sure how long I'll have it. This mileage bug is digging deeper into me, and I miss the "haul what you want" capability of my Focus HB.
The commute? Ah, 7.5 miles and 15-20 minutes. Probably best described as "Hilly DC Suburban". I've got about 4 hills, 2-3 stop signs, 15 stoplights, and 2 left turns. I take a different route morn vs. afternoon. Most of it is 45, which around here means 55-60.
