NSX spare tire

[Jesda]

Its folded in the compartment like so. You inflate it with a can of air or something and wallah, full size spare!

Pontiac did the same in the 60s:http://www.oakmediacreations.c....html

A lot of owners take it out. Usual justification is AAA coverage.

[continental_drift]

it appears as though that supercar is giving birth to a healthy baby spare!

congratulations!

[Jesda]

Without the spare, I guess it would become decent trunk space for a carry-on size bag. Thats about enough for 5 days of clothing.

[continental_drift]

when you get up close, the ABS componentry takes up a lot more space thanit looks like. you'd be hard pressed to fit a large bag of rold gold pretzels.

He is correct. It's a very strange area up there, pretty much perfectly spaced to hold a spare - and that's it.

On the other hand, Acura sold a matched set of Pravda (or Gucci, maybe?) luggage that fit perfectly into the boot. Too bad they go for about 4k.

You'd think that Samsonite is more the Honda type of luggage.

That's sig worthy.Its funny, but super funny and only relevant to the thread it came from

[Mr1der]

samsonite makes me wanna push over some columns....

Didn't Porsche have a few models that came with a flat repair kit rather then a spare?

That no wear near as wierd looking as the Subaru Loyal wagons that had pretty much the same spare tire placement, only since it was FF the spare sat on top of the engine...

Go back to Canada.

le marteau de grammaire strikes again!

[TrueSlide]

damn tight fight.

F&F 3 is gonna suck. But hey at least it will boost the value of my car.

[TrueSlide]

had to throw that out there so you guys wouldnt think I was bandwagon jumper.

MIATA GUY: What road is that picture of?

[sensibleS13driver]

Ice Cream Grade, I'll take a picture of the sign someday.

The M3 doesn't have a spare, it has a "kit". Basically if you get a flat in the M3 you call BMW Roadside assistance. They bring a loaner to you and truck your BMW to the dealer.

Gee, I wish I had a BMW.

[nismofly]

in other words, mic's car has a spare

jesda, wallah sounds like some sort of australian sea mammal

[The Mic]

Actually my car doesn't have a spare. I was joking

[nismofly]

hmm...yes...quite

right then, cheerio pip pip

[M3Racer]

Gee, I wish I had a BMW.

Personally I think it's ridiculous. I can change a spare tire, and if I wanted to really save those few extra pounds, I'd take it out. It'd be nice to have it in case you get a flat in boofoo.

[continental_drift]

you could buy one, right? just strap it down in your trunk.

like you said, take it out when you want less weight.

I take it they don't come with a jack either?

On a side note four kids died on that road my freshman or sophmore year of high school on the fourth of July. Only one that survived was the driver and now he's in jail for a long time. One of the dead kids was a senior football star so it was a big deal.

[Red coupe]

that sucks that it takes a highschool foot ball star for it it matter...

[The Mic]

shut up redcoupe...

[Red coupe]

well it wouldn't matter if it was mike of coarse...

[PantherRacer]

I got fifty bentley's in the west indies...IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
