One of these days I will modify it. It's not about appearance, it's more that I'm lazy or can't find the time.
i just got my son who's 17, his 1st car. A '03 Civic LX. For a teen, he seems interested in getting good gas mileage. I made him track his fuel consumption on here so I could keep track. The car had 193,000 miles on it with the original timing belt. I don't want him coasting down the mountain though because it's too dangerous.
I should listen to my own advice sometimes, but it's so much fun. Sometimes I can make it six miles from my house before engaging the engine, but that's a hair raising roller coaster ride only I've experienced, and the fear of a deer jumping out in front of you at any moment is just too much. I can see the headlines now,"man dies while hypermiling".
