I've got the P4s on my GTS so I was aware of the NHTSA warning about cold use.
They don't even want you to store them at anything colder than 20°F.
So the GTS gets to sleep in a heated storage facility all winter.

I think I put some of this elsewhere but I can't remember where so...
Back around thanksgiving my uncle was working on the frankencart, his creation.
Somehow he reached in and shorted the go juice and it tried to run him over.
It didn't make the complete jump and rested on him.
He wound up with a whole bunch o broken ribs and other calamities, not ideal for a guy in his 80's
I finally got a pic of Christine as she has now been dubbed.
If nothing ese it's robust. it may be the only half ton golf cart pickup in existence
Not bad for working around the yard.

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S are the summer choice and Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4ZP are the standard tires for 2024 Corvette E-Ray with 655HP. The E-Ray is the quickest production Corvette in history, clocking a 2.5-second 0-60 mph time before breezing through the quarter-mile in 10.5 seconds! Michelin have been my tire of choice for as long as I can recall.

Funny thing Dave, He was a remarkably good mechanic. ( now retired)
He could listen to an engine and tell you what was wrong with it before opening the hood.
All four brothers were great mechanics. My grandfather had a garage in Maine and they all grew up with grease under their finger nails.
He's my the last blood relative of that generation left.
When he first went down to Florida, he didn't set up a garage again, he worked for a breakers yard puling parts.
As he got to old for that, he moved into delivering parts all over Florida.
He just retired finally a few years ago when the company's insurer said " no we think he is to high a risk."
He hadn't had any accidents it was purely age related.

I had a friend who could do the same thing . . . walk down car lanes . . . and walk up and tell the owner what he needed to check. That was a tank that he built . . he could have sold it to the army.

Staying with my cousin here in Phoenix. She has a huge MB SUV. It looks like a tank!

I have the last year (2005) of the first generation and the first year (2017/) of the last generation of NSXs. I like them both for different reasons. The 2017 is more fun because it can go fast and handle well but the 2005 is fun because it's a 6-speed stick and I like taking the top out.
Looks alone, I like the shape of the 2005 more.

I have had this framed and hanging on my wall for 24 years so it faded. I completely agreed with his analysis and it has proved to be spot on!
Yellow squares read:
> Simple and unbroken, the long hood conveys a strong sense of power
> This chiseled line, which runs the length of the car, emphasizes the car's crisp form.
> Headlights appear to be pulled back, poised for speed. Nothing about the S2000's shape impedes its performance.
> Design features of the rear have been channeled by the same forces that have acted on the front. From nose to tail, the S2000 is tastefully executed and will look great for years to come. It totally conveys performance.
> Rocker panel angles outward, adding to the crisp theme by allowing reflective color of change.
