Oh, sounds like the tang is ready for the kidney foundation as a donation.
Haha, not quite. She can still be saved I think. If the brake problem is just pads, and a new gasket for the brake booster, it should be fine. I just needed a shell of a Stang anyway, I'll be doing so much work to it, it would be a shame to buy a mint-condition one just to tear it up with all the mods I'll be doing (331 stroker, NOS, custom interior, custom paint). About 10k work total, should be done by the time I'm 25, then my insurance will be cheaper, and I'll have a better paying job hopefully haha.

I had to share again in this thread, I managed to go up to 25.20 mpg in -15°C temps. Bits by bits I'm also trying to convert my girlfriend into hypermiling. Everytime she takes the Vue I tell her to keep an eye on the UG.

Next wednesday, I doing a full tune up on the Toyota Tercel and I'll do the front grille block. This car takes forever to get to temps. Already ripped out the intake tubes, so now it sucks in warm air from the exhaust manifold and it heats up just a little bit faster.

Thats it, pretty proud with this number, had to share! See ya!
