Long ago driving 2200 miles nonstop to New Mexico from NYC with a friend, she fell asleep behind the wheel. I wanted her to stop for a nap. "No," she said. I offered to take over. "NO," she said. It was the middle of the night, maybe 1am. Out in the wide-open middle West, maybe Missouri. I fell asleep in the passenger seat. For reasons I never did figure out, I woke up later to find her asleep behind the wheel and the car traveling full speed up a deserted exit ramp. I woke her. She stopped the car shortly before we flew through a stop sign into some corn field or something. No damage to the car.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. 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.
