I'll get some pic's posted up.. Wife's in Vegas, at a Convention.. with the camera.. be back Saturday.

This car is look'n gooder every day.

Took it on a 500 mile road trip recently.. averaged 34 MPG (still new). We like that

That's great!!! I believe that's even better than the EPA average.

Ya.. thats useing the lie-ometer.. wife hand calc'd it once.. so dang close it's close enough.

I'm impressed so far. Handles well on the Big Roads, quiet & comfortable and for a 4 banger.. it has plenty of "stuff". (i think the 6 speed trany has alot to do with that)

Wife Loves it.. thats the main thing

At times the "lie-o-meter" and hand calculations are pretty close. If you've noticed when you start downhill and ease off the pedal, the mpg will really jump. When we had our 95 Crown Vic, we once actually got 32 mpg with it. We had gone to Austin and filled up (every drop of gas it would hold) before starting home. When we got home, we filled up again and we went 240 miles on 7.5 gallons.

I hear ya Wayne. I think the MPG's will get even a bit better.. with some miles on. ( maybe the Magna-Flow might even help ?)

On the road trip, we were up in the Sierra's.. coming back down.. the tranny would down shift into kindofa Hold Back thing.. to maintain the Cruise setting.. I gota read up on alota these features.. but I think the PCM, locks up the TC ?

Sure are alota Black Boxes.. under the hood.. for a 4 banger.

I can only Look at Stuff though.. the wife STILL won't let me touch anything.......... Yet.
