I gotten in the habit of looking ahead to the stoplights. I get the biggest kick out of someone speeding around me only to watch them slam on the brakes seconds later while i'm coasting up to the same red light. Sometimes i get lucky and still have some forward momentum when the light turns green. I even sometimes pulse and glide in the 35mph area of my commute through Cocoa Beach. I sometimes reflect on how it use to feel driving my F150 getting 14mpg. I still have the truck(and still love it) but don't drive it much!! 22gal of fuel a week is sure better then 71gal of gas! Even funnier is my Honda Goldwing uses more gas than my TDI. And my TDI holds 5 people and has AC!! Don't ride the Goldwing much either. LOL!

The "nut behind the wheel adjustment" continues!!!
