Glad to humor a Metro guy

Xist thanks for the ideas!

Today: picked up a bookshelf and hauled it around. I think I achieved a partial kammback effect and lower Cd but am not sure... maybe it was negated by the liftback being open? The bookcase added weight for more inertia...

P&G kicks ass, i wish there were an automagical version of it w/ auto-sensing radar cruise control. (because lazy) If i make P&G vinyl decals will u buy them?

re weight of car. has anyone replaced their hood and side windows w/ polycarbonate? i can flex my lightness with a clear 1/8" 4x8 sheet for $96+tax at TAP Plastics.

finally added my gas receipt from 1/11...check my logz ... huge mpg jump from P&G, manu-maticness (WILL THIS KILL MY TRANNY?), tape-over upper gblocking & partial hubcap tape-overs.

since mega-tank:
* bought lawn edging
* bought pizza pans
* received MPGuido :P
* bought 2006 Subie spare tire - lighter than my "plus size" 80s spare

so here's more eye candy...

The January 11th record tank:


car side profile w/ bookcase strapped in = accidental kammback! (my only thought is how will i strap on a real one? but there are many ways to attach things to things...)
