Yup. But it can also replace gym memberships--not that I'd ever bother with one--and it is a good, cheap, and fun alternate if/when the car breaks down.

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.
