Thanks.

I'm 17 and broke half the time getting this on the road, and working on my CST10. I was expecting a load better gas mileage from a light, fairly aerodynamic car with a small engine... lol. And $45 for a tank is no fun..

Reading here though, my driving needs to change a good bit, and to fix the a/c so the windows can stay up (and t-tops on, but their just so cool )

Though many of the mods you guys give to other cars, is pretty much already here on this. No grille opening, full width air dam underneath (the center scoops up air for the radiator, the sides direct air around the tires). Hidden wipers.. small mirrors.

What is evoked in him, then, is of another order, more terrible because it has no words, and triumphant, too, for the same reason. And his triumph, when he triumphs, is ours." -Sonny's Blues
