Well, if I don't get started, I'll never get finished..
So here's how the story goes:
__________________________________________________ ________
Saturday, June 27th. 8:30 AM. Car is crammed full of gas. Trip odometer is set to zero.
Destination: The Independence Center Mall. East Greater Kansas City.
Objectives for the day: Drive the 460 mile round trip on one tank of gas; meet with a few others who have done better than that.
Just what CAN I get out of a car that weighs 3,434 pounds?
Forecast: 97 degrees, with a heat index of 107.
OH MY GOSH, WHAT HAVE I GOTTEN US INTO...
...this means the [A/C on/off] tactic will be used with DWL and drafting. I still think I can beat my best tank even though the A/C will be in use...
(okay, guys; I looked to see. It was 32.43. I also looked up the weight. Just too many 3s and 4s to remember...)
Note to self: NEVER schedule an outside meeting on a blacktop parking lot in the summer!!!
The extended story I have decided to post on the Success Stories blog. Needless to say, I beat my best tank!
The next modder there is Fast38. This guy is serious... he keeps a wiper blade in the car for when it is needed, and replaced his bucket headlamps with the later aero ones!!!
lovemysan and Hugh Jim Bissel are there fairly quickly. lovemysan's car is seen in its latest form, full belly aero and all. Hugh Jim's Toyota can be seen in back, with its bike shifter/throttle control for DWL...
Yep, real men wear wheel skirts!
Another of lovemysan's mods - ADJUSTABLE warm air to the intake! (Move the end of the duct...
)
Possibly the most important mod of the (hot, muggy, sunny) day!
