Well guy, you've got all the bases covered when it comes to vehicles, and a pretty lady to boot..... How difficult was the installation of the Pivot throttle controller, and what other of their products are you using or considering?.... It may be difficult for me to afford any of them for a while My lady came home with a new Subaru Forester last night, with the way that fuel prices are now climbing I may soon be in the market for 2 Pivot T/Cs.

I don't have the TC, I am just sayin I would be interested in the ECO setting, since it gets major long haul and commute action. 30k miles the first year alone. My accord now sees like 3k a year, and so does the bike. I used to ride the bike like 5k/year, and accord 12k/year. I have used Pivot tachs, gauges, voltage stabilizers, etc, and they all just work, consistently.

Mainly I want to just piss off my sister. She bought a Toyota Highlander Hybrid for SMUG-factor and gets like 24mpg if shes on electric mode downhill, usually I see 18-19 on her fuel stat thing. I like to get 38+mpg for way less than half as much $$$, especially since it has no towing capability, the AWD system is useless, and it's fun to rub it in how much better the fit mileage and utility is for the $$$

And thanks for comment on my girl, I guess I should keep her around a while longer
