You know I am real happy with this little 4-banger. Yeah, it doesn't go very fast but it drives real nice! I took my old 10-holes that had my Falkiens on it and put them on it yesterday and then put a new Eclipse 5423 head unit in it for her and it's a good daily driver. She's complaining about the speed but she'll get over it. Hey it gets damn good gas mileage compared to my 5.0. I filled it up the other day and it had 50 miles on the trip and it was still above the F on the guage. What kind of mileage do all of you get? I plan on taking it to work one day this week and having the tranny serviced. Then the windows tinted.

I got 21.7 on my last tank, combo in town and highway. That's winter gas and me winding it out to 4500 all the time.
