Do you see that tire? The letters are really that yellow. The bottle is white. The letters are not. Something had to be done.
Batteries Not Included

A really smart guy named Dan who posts on ClubRoadster came up with this really cool upper shock mount (known in the biz as a tophat) that lets you slam the hell out of a Miata while retaining full suspension travel.
