Howdy, I'm SL8Brick

Hello all! I found my way here through that other gas saving forum.

Like the title says, I'm SL8Brick(pronounced 'slate brick'). Old pre-Ford RWD Volvos are my passion, but VW/Audi pays the bills. My DD is a 1993 Volvo 240 Wagon with 267k miles. I don't consider myself an avid gas miser, but I do keep a running fuel logbook and closely monitor my driving habits. I'll be spending a lot of time in your aerodynamics forum and I have a backround in motorsports...so please forgive me if my commentary strays from eco-bias.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to posting with you!!

SL8Brick

Just kidding!

Welcome, SL8Brick. I too have been pronouncing your name wrong since day one. Thanks for the clarification.

The number of people with common (or previous) interests in traditional motorsports & fuel efficiency is very interesting.
