Ironic that you use a line like that, when you are all about saving fuel.
dude, how do you like ohio? how's the stang? was clean when i saw it.
Aside from the snow.. it's great. Alot less hippies out here, that's for sure! Cobra is running a bit fat, according to the recent dyno. Laid down 513/529 running fat.. Lets see.. CCWs are sitting here... and my BFG 335's are on their way.

I heard you got a new car? I got a new plate frame... [Wink]

dude that plate frame is awesome! I want to get one for all of my cars. [Razz]

since selling shitbox fox mustang and buying a NEW honda fit, i have a lot of money in the bank, nice camera equipment *PM me if you're interested in a photoshoot*, a bunch of mods on the car *cosmetic mods and suspension and wheels*, recently bought a fixed gear bicycle, and yesterday bought a 47" LCD HDTV.

im telling you guys. it's all about the gas mileage.

the last few trips ive observed 42 mpg.

what's your mileage like?

42 mpg = about $0.10 cents per mile you drive, but spending at least 15K on the car

20 mpg= $0.20 per mile with a 4-5K car

you logic to save money does not "fit".

lol. what mustang gets 20mpg?
[Razz]

both of mine get 25mpg, and don't make me fall asleep while driving them.
My '92 w/ ALL the basic boltons (ie no heads or cam) AND 3:55 gears was getting 23MPG. Here is another calculation for you

If you drive 500 miles a week (that's a lot of fucking miles!!!) and you pay $4 a gallon then...

500/23mpg * $4 = $87 per week
500/42mpg * $4 = $47 per week

($87 * 4 weeks) - ($47 * 4 weeks) = $160 savings per month

How much is the payment on your NEW car? If it is more than $160 (and assuming you drive at least 500 miles per week) you are actually loosing money [Smile]

yeah, i see what you did there, but i wasn't getting anything NEAR that mileage.

btw, im actually making LESS money now, than i was making with the mustang. and i have all this extra money LOL. you guys can hate all you want, but my bank account is WAY fatter and i have a lot of nice stuff now as compared to with the mustang. having a mustang was cool i guess, but im much happier now. not hating on you guys, just saying. i could care less about the planet and such, but it's nice seeing a FAT bank account
