No big news here, I'm just glad I don't have to fuel the Taurus anymore. Even at 33 mpg, which is poor for a Z-body, I'm still getting 10 mpg more than the Taurus.

I finally got SCarlett back on the road after 6 weeks. Turns out the IAC electricals had corroded. Many, many gallons were burned sitting in the driveway trying to figure out why the car didn't run right. 2.5k RPM idle is not cool. Now I have no cash because my other car only gets 24 mpg and I commute a long bloody way.

Ooooooooh was this ever an interesting tank...
It started out strong, but was obliterated in a melee of Emergency Room runs, unskilled drivers, ineffective Sea Foam, general lateness, and a recurring pain in my back that makes me want to get home to an ice pack as fast as legally possible.
Oil change!

Pulse and glide, combined with a few miles of hard driving... I was giving a cute guy a ride, and he told me he liked my car because it felt like a race car with the stick shift, so I of course drove it like a race car >.<
