So sick of car shopping.
I was going to look at a '99 Saab 9-3 Turbo today with mods and extra parts, and turns out it's an auto.
Called on a BMW E36/5 and the guy randomly hung up on me then wouldn't answer.
No Miatas in my price range have popped up since last weekend.

Re BMW guy: he knew you weren't a serious buyer when you asked him what kind of mileage he was getting.  |

Ugh, I don't know what his problem was. If I buy something not FWD, FE goes out the window 
Does this have a small enough frontal area?

Four local car people showed up at work today (two couples) and asked me about the Probe. I told them the fuel economy figures and one couple kind of joked about doing it to their ZJ Grand Cherokee. We'll see if the idea sticks.

Nope. Once I have a new daily the Probe will go back to stock (aero-wise) and I will re-list it on CL for more money. I think the aliens are scaring people away-- oh wait. I hear they like to be called "celestial beings". Gotta be PC!

Yep. It's been posted in this thread a few times.
