LOL, that's where the fun begins. Today I took my parents and my mothers only living sister to lunch in the Sentra. They all complimented me on how well it rode. Now that everyone is (begrudgingly) accepting the fact that I am going to drive this $300 car for the forseeable future, I can work on some mods. With winter approaching, it's time for a warm air intake and a grille block. Hopefully that will keep the MPG close to the present 37.7 average through this winter. I'm not sure about aero at this point, maybe a front air dam but I don't think I'm going to do any mods on the exterior of the body, but that might change.
The oil is a little dark, probably picking up some deposits with the warmer engine due to the thermostat after close to 1800 miles since it was changed, but the level is exactly the same at over 177 k on the odometer. I actually have not been using all of my techniques, but that will change after tomorrows tire install and a short fill of the fuel tank.
Thanks for the interest. I paid $400 for a 59 Austin Healey bug eyed Sprite when I was 17 in the summer of 1968. Figuring inflation in 1968 money the Sentra cost me $43. I think, as long as something big does not fall apart, it's the best deal I have ever made on a car and it suits me perfectly.
