The MPGiata has been retired for the winter!

There was nothing in the extended forecast that looked top-down friendly, and we've already had a few light snowfalls. (One of which needed shoveling; since melted).

The car turns 30 years old next spring. For its birthday present, I'm aiming to get a 55 mpg tank next year. Needs more mods!
