New Car!

Well, new to me anyway.

I actually traded my '98 corolla ve for an 03 saturn vue.

Now i know that I'm losing some significant MPG possibilities in this switch, but it was a deal i couldn't pass up. It was a direct 1-1 trade for the two cars. Now i have power everything, all the extras, sunroof etc...

Best part is its 5 speed manual, mated to a 2.2l inline 4.

First few fills have netted me ~ 28mpg, considering highway epa rating is 26 i think im doing well. I'm not doing P&G, and with winter in full force im not going to be turning off the engine anytime while im driving.

I'll get a new fuel log started up soon so y'all can monitor my progress/regress

Major Mods aren't going to happen unless they have the potential to increase the value of the car, I'm not keeping it for much more than a year and a half.
