Only a teenager would be so green as to not realize how likely it is that, eventually, a parent will see you if your secret hiding place for you disallowed bike is just around the corner. That's like having the carthief chop shop a block from the police station. lol

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.
