Rachel had her 1st driving lesson w/ daddy! She did really well I think the clutch may survive the learning curve.

I wouldn't mind having one as a DD. My commute is 4 miles.

I've always said if the Fit died or got into a wreck, I'd pick up an old scoot for dd and then save $$ to buy my next car with cash.

A fellow EF friend gave us a CRX lip and we installed it on the front bumper last night, it gives it a nicer look! Our civic went to Williamsburg, VA and back today 100+ miles and was a nice ride.

Did you break 40 mpg yet? I think it needs to warm up a little more but you should soon get that. Looking Good..

Whats the recipe? I remember you or TEX talking about it. Gotta love the mpg. My Civic only gets that in the summer but I bet if I did a road trip I would see that or a little more.

The boys got the van running and went to Georgia and they did not listen to me and got 22 average. I got 27 mpg last road trip with more weight running premium driving the same roads and driving faster too.
