It was thrown 10 feet but I was not hurt, I was able to drive away from the accident, and the car was rebuilt (it was a no-fault state). <br /><br />Two problems were that they were underpowered, though the last two or three years went to 2300cc instead of 2100cc. However, even a<br />low pressure turbo would have helped a lot. Also, the air conditioning<br />does not really work in a hot climate because the heater heat exchanger is in front of the A/C heat exchanger.

It's all of the liberal "unpretentious pretentiousness". <br /><br />Here in CA, with libs it's either a Prius or brazen flaunting of the fancy sports car.
