Ive always had to do all my own work and often make my own parts or make junkyard parts work, even in the high performance hobby and Ive grown to enjoy every bit of it. The hunt for the part at the junkyard, takin it off and gettin it home, repairing and then makin it work. Same works in this world as well. I always knew I needed somethin economical but bein a speed/power lover I didnt know if I could make it fun enough to enjoy on a daily basis. Now I am hooked and I enjoy every mile of it!!! I noticed two nights ago that I had just gone over 230 miles and I was just centered on half tank. Thats farther than my truck would go on an entire 16 gallon tank!!! Needless to say that adds a large amount of enjoyment to ditchin the fast, shiney loud cars and trucks and jumpin in the white econobox every day lol. I still got the cars and truck, but I dont rely on em anymore which means I can have fun with them and not have any burden of "will this mod hurt my MPG?"
