So feel free to toot your own horn and tell us all about things like: ... that kick-a#$ commute you had this morning
... the record fill-up you just had
... how well your latest mod is working
... how mastering a new ecodriving technique has boosted your fuel economy to a new level
... how much you're saving by biking/carpooling/public transit
... the effect your example is having on friends & family
... anything else that shows the positive results of modding your ride & the nut behind the wheel
(PS - if you happen to come across any existing threads in other sub-forums that would fit nicely into this area, let me know and I'll copy them over.) |
This modded 88 civic lx into a flatbed mpg up to 40 from 27.
Successfully hauls full sheets of plywood, sofas, washers/dryers,
cement, 10' long poles right up thru the cab.
I say successful because:
reliable daily driver built from a totaled civic.
MPG way up
Fun to drive
Total invested $1,300 inc all engine preventive maint.
