"140s have more primary safety than any other car I have ever driven.."

Yes, I drive one for that reason. And the cargo capacity.

I'm looking more at a propane system. Running k-jet. Can water systems run with propane? Got a 2 inch exhaust.

And this is all a game. I hope with a little higher level of sportsmanship than demonstrated by some.

I am surprised by the intensity of the concerns about tire size.

No one has mentioned sprung weight yet.

I'd run bicycle rims if I could, just to see if it worked.

I think it's been all those 22 inch spinner wheels and $1500 mags I see that made me wonder about things like this. "Why?" is what occurs to me.

All in pursuit of the lowest combined cost of upgrade and operation.
