Doug;
Congratulations. I've owned mine for about two months. For some reason, I'm
enjoying it more than the Stingray or Europa or 914 (that was a great car)
I've previously owned. Oh yeah..the Miata too.
Anyway, how common is the fuel cell thing with GT6 owners? I assume if I
get hit in the rear I'm dead anyway. Since I want ot be cremated, I thinnk
I'll leave the tank as is. What do the rest of you think?
