Any recommendations? I like audio books and need to look into getting some more. Podcasts are a great idea as well and I'll look on iTunes to see what's available but it's always fun to try what others recommend especially if I wouldn't normally pick.

Notice the "OBO" - how good a deal are you looking for?
Yes it's listed as "OBO" but that is still money I don't have to spend right now on a car that is only good for getting me to work. The gas savings won't cancel out the purchase price for a long time and I hope to have a better job before then. It's just not worth it for me for buy a new car for the sake of the commute. With some aero improvements hopefully I can break 40mpg consistently and alleviate some of the gas bill burden on us.

Time to start making some wheel covers, skirts, pans, dams and kam...
