Thank y'all for the support and thanks for the mission trip I do it out of love for both God and my neighbor. I'll post pics of the work when I find them.

Also, thanks for the love for the new... coloUr He may very well have a side business going soon. He quoted me $225 if it were to cost me anything I'm really enjoying the paint, and it gets looks for looking good, besides having extravagant aero mods

Funny story to tie in with that. I was cruising through town on the way to Lowes when I am passed by a man in a bone stock Geo Metro! This guy could not unglue his eyes off of my fender skirts and wheel covers He then proceeds to cut across 2 lanes of traffic and turn into the gas station beside Lowes. I parked and went to talk with him, but he zipped off before I could reach him he most definitely was not a hypermiler!

I'm working on adding a ridiculously small UDP and bypassing my P/S and A/C. It is proving to be quite the challenge as 2 pulleys have to be swapped, and there is no room to get to them. The engine is basically floating in air till morning, and hopefully this will put me over 50 mpg for good! At the very least, it will reduce parasitic load that will in turn help lean burn, which is happening in 16 days!

Stay tuned for the carnage
