Why would you protect the guilty?

Chevy HHR? There’s your first problem...
The Mirage is a hateful little shitbox. I get cheap and cheerful, but it’s just cheap. The panels feel like beer cans, the paint is really thin, the dash and trim panels seem to be made out of the same plastic as they make the carrying cases for cheap power tools, the engine sounds and goes like an angry sewing…
Well if you don’t take the route with Tesla superchargers...
I voluntarily take the bus along Hastings Street in Vancouver. For some context, this is a route where the sight of people doing coke and gymnastic flips off the bars is not uncommon. But it’s the fastest way home!
You can’t make me, I love Mustang II’s already. They’re like a Pinto Brougham and that’s two parts perfect right there. My favorite is the navy blue and saddle Ghia.
umm, Chevy also did this..my DD for 5 years!
Looking back at it, it bothers me even more that they gave such hefty tickets when it wasn’t necessary, mainly because we were young. There was no need to tag two kids who weren’t causing any trouble.

4 door Olds or 2 door? I broke in my then girlfriend’s new 1983 88 Royale Brougham 2-door across the front seat. Kids today cannot appreciate the benefits of a flat bench, velour covered front seat.
“Ok … well … How much farther are you going?”
“It was the Summer of 2012 when the bus for the Swedish swimsuit team got a flat outside my treehouse on their way to the annual mud-wrestling convention across town...”
And then you need more combat vehicles to protect your fleet of fuel trucks. Which means you need a bigger fleet of fuel trucks. Which means you need more combat vehicles to protect those... and so on. Really should ditch all the unarmored "utility" type Humvees with off the shelf diesel Jeeps or something.
The military for a long time wasn't concerned with fuel economy (which is sort of amazing given that the exponential nature of logistics should be apparent to anyone who has given it a tiny bit of thought). They've been paying much closer attention over the past decade or so (I suspect being constantly deployed, with…
Reminds me of trying to hypermile my BMW E34 535i with an engine that was designed in the 1960s. Even with religious coasting, anticipating lights, shutting the engine off at lights, no AC, slow to moderate acceleration, and the best I’ve ever gotten out of it is 24mpg, and that was just brutal OCD and restraint to…
I gotta go with HandofWinter. Driving at 2/3 of your previous speed should have helped more than 4%.
Were those cardboard boxes a joke? You had to be generating an insane amount of parasite drag with those things flapping around like that. If you'd taped them front and back then they might have helped a bit, but I'm sure that they had a pretty significant negative effect on your mileage.
Fuel Shark has a recently released model specifically for Hummers.
