Your back comes first. Don't you have a Ghia or something?
Everything else is dead except the Insight and it's destroyed two 12-V batteries since April.I lost it's spare yesterday.It was @ 100% charge before I turned the key and as soon as I turned the key,it dropped a cell,leaving it at 10.5V.
Today I chose to drive the truck with marginal brakes, over the Insight with non-existent re-start capabilities.I'm taking the day off from mechanics.
I did lose the oversize Bridestones on the rear,and put the worn out,regular sized Hankooks back on.I'll be replacing all 4-tires. This will get it's tail back down where it belongs.
McLaren says the rake is good for aero,but they provide no evidence,and other testing has shown extreme sensitivity to drag,based on body inclination for other vehicles.
