that is a pretty bold assumption to make about my age, Im 43.
so while I know there are some people on here who are older, I'd wager Im older than probably 80% of the other members


The "giveaway" was the frustration over a short time/distance . . and likely not more than ten years of driving and only recently converted to economy. We all lag somewhere on the sliding abstraction/emotion scale. Women file for divorce (they miss "feeling in love") and men get too involved with objects (money, cars, hunting, etc) past a certain age. We all still foolishly think life is college-career-kids and then proceed to fall off a conceptual cliff (consume, consume!!).

after thinking about it, Im not doing too bad
my combined avg EPA is 24mpg and Im getting better than that with all city driving, which EPA sets it at 22mpg, so in light of those numbers, 28mpg all city driving isnt too shabby
to date Ive saved almost $100.0 and 25g. not too bad with such a short log.


Yup, longest road in the world: between head and heart.

The scope of the mods versus price sounds good. Ought to be satisfying. Any anticipated downside to them (from stock performance)?
