Well, yes, if a woman does not understand intelligent improvements to my car, she definitely would not understand me. My current gym partner seems disappointed that I do not watch television and that I do not have a smartphone--and not because cannot use the torque app!
I guess that I would only pulse and glide on the straight stretches.
Yes, replacing my car with one that is only two wheel drive, as well as manual, and certainly something not pretending to be an SUV, would increase my mileage. After I bought my car my mom kept telling me to see how much a certain used dealer would offer me, which sounded absolutely insane!
NADA and Kelley both say that my car is worth around $3,700. I think that I lost a little because someone keyed my car when I was visiting my parents, so if anything, it was for something that my parents did, not me!
Okay, searching Autotrader for four-door, front-wheel-drive cars with manual transmissions within twenty-five miles from private sellers made me feel too picky, but I found a 1999 Mazda Protege LX for $3,300.
Honestly, I feel like calling on Monday. Thanks to Gasoline Fumes, I checked the VIN. It says that it was registered salvage, but the listing says "Clear title."
It looks good, as long as it is not a clear, salvage title. I winced at the picture of the front seats, wondering how far back they went.
Here is the listing:
Cars for Sale: 1999 Mazda Protege LX in Phoenix, AZ 85023: Sedan Details - 323693713 - AutoTrader.com
The EPA rates the Forester 18/24 and the Protegé 25/31.
