Sure thing. She is really ugly but I will show what the car looks like from the start. I am thinking that this will be a moderate job. I would love to get a hold of an older Honda Insight or a WVO converted VW.

I am going to start with a lower grille/bumper cover and leave the skinny grille just under the hood alone until Fall hits. I tried pulsing my mother's new CRV and got it up to 38mpg with the A/C running. Awsome! I can't wait until I get my Prizm inspected so I can start driving with my newly gained information. If I can manage 38mpg in a automatic mini SUV, I should be able to break 45mpg in the 5-speed car very soon. I have to get the EZ-PASS so I don't have to stop twice on RT-16 on my way to Newington.
