congrats, welcome back to the world of compact hatches.

Congrats bro!

Thanks guys! This one comes with a bunch of options since it's an SES with street package: heated leather, power doors, power windows, power heated mirrors, remote keyless entry and hatch release from remote, power moon roof, 6 disc in dash MP3 changer, Sony components and factory sub, Ford factory body kit and fogs, 16 inch alloys, ... It's 5 speed manual with 2.0... supposed to be around 30+ MPG mixed driving.. On the first tank I got 21ish with pretty much all city with some spirited driving and a lot of idling in the work parking lot (too early to go in, too cold to kill the engine).. might go to Seattle this weekend (200 miles one way with full car of people), will report the MPG then..

Why did you get rid of the RX8, burned too much oil?

Why did you get rid of the RX8, burned too much oil?

too much gas actually... and the joy of no car payment.

Starting to catch up to me. Went though a period of cars. But now I regret what I have got rid of. Now I am stuck with reasonable gas mileage and no power. But no car payments. Next step...

Turbo charge the Jeep...

After I lift it another 2 inches, and get the bumper/winch installed, and re-do the front grill and headlights, and get the hybrid cage, and go to 33's. And, oh yeah, got to get the Aveo body kit done and fix the hit-and-run damage. Someday, I will get it done. After I graduate (this year). And maybe after my wife graduates (in three years).

But hey. No car payments

i can only think of 20-25 of my previous cars i wish i still had, at different time and for different reasons.

Nope, spent most of today working on her. I just have a long list of things to do to the Jepp

Been there and done that already. Sometimes I wish I had kept mine.

i once went up one of "those" paths full throttle in an amc wagon. I kept t full throttle until the car stopped itself..

i ripped of a fender and two doors smacking the side of a tree at about 40 mph. and fter the 3rd or 4th time i jumped t, it landed so hard on its nose it quit running.. made it about 4 miles into the woods, in the middle of no where, just before dark, 120 miles from "home" and didn't have a ride. Boy were the passengers pissed.
