I drive mine everyday to and from work during the week. Weekends I give her a break sometimes. It's fun for the wife and I to go out on "date night" when the weather is nice.

They are cars and thus meant to be driven

I only recently started using 91 because of an engine tick. You could save A LOT if you just use 87 if 91 is not required.

I could probably get away with it. I've been using premium because I had a chip in it. 87 was bad news. Went back to the stock ecu because for me its better for driving every day. I can tell my car is back on the more rich side without the chip, and slower , but it went from 17 mpg best mostly highway to 19 mpg, which is what I got before when it had stock heads. I'm happier with that.

You know, it's kind of funny. At first, the pedal felt like it took less effort. Now, after about 2 weeks, it feels about the same. Don't know whether I've just got used to it or I was just crazy in the first place. Either way, I can certainly tell a difference in the way it performs. Much better.

yep everyday and if I can manage to keep my foot out of it it is actually surprisingly fuel efficient because you never really have to take it above 2000 rpm and once it upshifts it scoots along at 50, just above idle

Its kind of rough on a 20 year old suspension going 80. My bump steer sucks.

My blue tokico struts helped my car a lot. I drive 70mph plus for 30min 3 days a week. Rides awesome with my 3.55's & 5spd.

I DD'd a 90 auto for 2 yrs. It was ok but you gotta know what you're getting into. It's a far cry from a Cadillac. How old are you?

oh but that rich carb old car smell is a wonderful part of the experience of diving a vintage car. let syou know that you are alive, and so is the car.

I think something is wrong or worn out. I want to do a bumpsteer kit and replace my steering and control arms.
