Great.

Keeping this car rolling in spite of all reason has become a point of pride for me, so I've started topping off the oil level before every drive and checking it again while I'm out. A quart container rides along. Good thing I haven't needed to drive very often or far this year!
Keeping the car is an ecomod. Eventually you'll fix that leak. I have my last remaining oil leak down to cam seal, front main seal, or oilpan seal. The last is my lead candidate. I watch the oil level, too. But I'm getting close to no oil leaks!

All I did today was a few minutes work on my Flatfish shaped trunklid spoiler... stingray!

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.
