I just have to leave 10 seconds between me and the car behind and ahead because my speed is so much different than everyone else. I'm gonna try to get a hold of some Coroplast here soon!

Rofl Box,
What did you do on your box? You get huge improvement on every tank!!

I had taped the upper and middle grille of my car, made tape fenderskirts, shaved the front fenders and door handles (for looks really), milded my sideskirts into the car, Removed the factory front fenderliners, and bellypanned the car, sadly, my bellypan met its end at a speedbump that also took one of my side skirts apart, but i love fiberglass, and thats another story...

I Neutral coast a lot because DM is so hilly, but I do get in about 4 miles of EOC a day with my 22 mile commute, I do 55 on the highway because its safe (and the speedlimit) and Im doing this with a full interior including 2 12" subs and 2 amps (which add about 150lbs to the car) on wheels that are 17x7.5 and 1 lb heavier than stock with tires that are 2 inches wider that stock but weigh 1 lb heavier and have a very odd tread design (nitto neogens, look em up)

That's some great EOC.

How is the traffic there?

I had to slow down today for a school bus at 15 til 4pm...

ARGH!

[ROFL Box]

there is no such thing as traffic pretty much

[Z man]

That's awesome, traffic is the worst.


Anyone think a diesel Box would be the greatest thing ever?

[ROFL Box]

Shhhhhh

theres a reason that im looking for one wrecked from the front and a VW 2.0TDI motor

Another decent tank...

[ROFL Box]

Im working my way on running the car out of gas (because I want to drop the gas tank and get all the grit and misc stuff out of it, plus I want to change all the filters and the pump...

the bad thing...

the light just came on from my last fill up

and well

Im only at 483.2 miles...

which, when the light comes on, you have 2.5 gallons of gas in the car

and out of the 11.9 gallon tank that we have

that means that I used 9.4 gallons of gas

meaning right now, im at 51.04 MPG...

goal, matched, set new one?

[Z man]

Run the tank out, and keep an extra one gallon container with you when you run out.

[ROFL Box]

naw, if it doesnt run dry by tomorrow (as i have a 30 minute drive to get where im going) we will have to drain it...

mileage is at 523 right now...
