Oh, and small update. Been looking at the Yeti SB-66 instead of the Santa Cruz, and the dealer is a bit closer than the Santa Cruz shop, especially since I don’t have to go to downtown Tokyo to get to them.
And finally, I’m about to spend another chunk of money on the fact that I can’t be easy on my cars. I blew the heater coil lines off the back of the Miata’s engine, and took out the Cam Position Sensor’s O-ring in the process, so the Miata’s in the shop until Monday or so. Could get it back tomorrow, but we’ll see. All I know is, I don’t have the money for it, so I had to finance it on one of their 12 mo no interest no payment plans, and since I’ll be selling the thing early next year, I’ll just pull the cost out of the sales money. Glad there was an overturned tractor trailer on my favorite turn, or I wouldn’t have hit traffic and noticed the near total loss of coolant sending my engine temp way up before it cooked my engine. I guess traffic can be a boon sometimes.
