Great meeting you, Scott. Enjoy it!

Yep, the coil overs had been done by the prior owner. Rides a bit rough but helps keep that FE up. The grille block was just duct tape to test for any FE improvements. I did see some, so the next step was going to be either fiberglass or lexan blocks. The tape actually didn't bother me too much, though, since it matches the car fairly well and worked!

Definitely keep updating here. I'm looking forward to seeing you get better FE than I did. You downloaded the fuel app, right? The last fill mileage was at 155,993 for your records btw.
