My sincere condolences for the loss of your Pa. Sorry to hear that.

Guess its my turn. Glad to see a site with interest towards fuel efficiency; been bipping in & out for a number of years.
I had a Saab years ago- it was way ahead of its time. Saab published a monthly publication- I recall one article promoting higher fuel econcomy by the 1-3-5 shift. By double shifting to third and fifth, and lugging the engine with heavy throttle, higher efficiency driving would evoke better mileage.
I undersstand and agree. You can disagree if you want, but I'm sure those Swedish engineers from 3 decades ago won't care in the least. Others may read this and learn.

Drag racers in the 60s laughed at people who ran through all four gears and lost.

botsapper -- Trying to sway the judges? It's worth a shot.

Frank Lee -- Sorry for your loss as well.

Exclamation This site is addictive...

Once I get on this site I might as well say goodbye to many hours of my life! All the articles, links, references, files, etc are like a feast to a starving man, so I tend to stuff myself....

Thanks, everybody, for a GREAT SITE!!

Welll, the things you miss when you don't check all the forums...

My birthday is December 14. I had no idea I shared an anniversary with this, the website that gets more of my traffic than any other (even Imgur!) And because I'm old enough to not really need it, I asked for everyone to not give me anything for my birthday.

HOWEVER... If Linear Logic is magnanimous enough to want to give away a couple of SG's, if EM wants to help me display my thrifty aspirations, who am I to argue with that charitable nature?

In to win!
