It has so many squeaks & rattles, I got tired of the echo chamber despite the tiny fuel economy benefit from weight savings. I don't need to dislike the car any more than I already do!
Congrats. "Beauty shots" are in order! Let's see some pics. If we can't love what we drive, we gotta at least like it. If we can't like it, we gotta find ways to hate it less.

A tattered box of gears and wheels, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing
For every tatter in its steel-clad dress."

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.
