It is, but anyone can cut the grass. Dropping a 203 round exactly where you want it is an art.

I'm somewhat conservative-minded. I like guns, eating barbecue at least once a week, I am even moderately racist sometimes, you know, my motivations toward fuel-efficiency are not the same as a neo-hippie/tree-hugger's, and it does[n't] bother me being mistaken for "them".
This could describe me.

I used to pack a .45 and an M-79 grenade launcher with a buckshot round chambered. But I didn't feel particularly safe.

40 is what I do on my wife's minivan. It helps a bit and makes me feel like I'm doing something constructive, but that's about all.

The further the vehicle is from a 50-50 weight distribution; the more likely you will run different pressures front and rear to compensate.

Added this thread to the front page.

I don't suppose anyone has a handy link to the Civic's garage page?

I did a search and came up with this one:
Details: Dino - 1993 Honda Civic DX Fuel Economy - EcoModder.com

You know there are 806 Civics in the garage right now?
