I can quit my job here, get a job in Athens making about $9 an hour and break even.

I can trade the wifes car and get something else (civic, focus, PINTO....anything...I refuse to drive her KIA), and continue to work at a place I hate.
Honesty to god, I got 21.8 mpg! That's with having a lot of fun with it, like you said shifting at redline (7k rpm) and throwing it in the corners! Man this thing can stick like nothing else!

I'm so happy with it, that's all I can say.

Jamz, first thing you need to do is put rims on it. The stock 16s look dorky. Go with 18s baby!

Probably 18mpg....maybe...

Its too bad you had to sell the truck, but I think you came out on top in the end.

Hey Joe, I found something you may be interested in. They use the Foci engines in these things. Talk about cornering like a rollerskate!
