Yeah, but unless you were going to pay a lot more, you ran the risk of that "something else" having as costly a set cars?of issues, maybe worse. I think it's best to stick with a machine, get to know it, put it in order so it can be reliable. You've done that with style and now you have this funky kickin' eco-rat-rod. It's all good.

You've seen the "donkey crx" and the ecotex cars?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
