Thanks for the input! Yes, I plan to provide a full disclaimer for the methods and mods discussed (safety, local law, etc). Since I'm still rather new to this forum, I'm 'stuck' with my automatic Vibe, and I'll be pressed for time, I will mostly focus on the things I've learned with my car. (Someday I'd like to SEE some of you folks in manuals in action to get a better feel for some things). But I think I'll be able to take questions in stride. Pictures will also help out. Luckily, many in this forum do well with visual documentation.

Going to focus on:
Why bother? Why care? (Money savings, pollution, time at the pump, observant driver, etc.)
Knocking off jackrabbit starts and stops
Anticipating traffic lights
Appropriate highway speeds
Summer/Winter
General road rules
ScanGauge or other FE instrumentation
Tires
Tips for automatics (most college students I would say)
Basic mods like grill blocks, block heaters, removals (roof rack, dead bodies in the trunk).
Advanced mods like engine swaps, kammbacks, boat tails, truck aero caps.
Others??
