Well I drove to a job interview, and after 2.5 weeks of sitting she fired up first tap of the key.
Had to drive it, the wife had the car.
That included the 2.5 weeks mentioned here? Nice job, I'm convinced mine sips fuel while I am sleeping at night. LOL.

Best of luck with the job, the market straight sucks right now. It's tough out there these days.

I drove it home on 8/20 and had a needles width over half, started it for the first time since then today and drove 32 miles round trip in the rain and now have exactly 1/2 tank of gas.
With any luck I will be using that gas up this week.

I hope you will be burning some of that while commuting to your new job. I don't (and no-one should) figure fuel costin off-road trips, probably why wife thinks I'm crazy. Besides, who wants to know what milage they get wheelin?

I replaced the stock front driveshaft w/1 I purchased from Tom Woods. No more chirpping and clanking metal. Easy install and already had all the fittings greased.

I figured that was the deal.Iused to havea inside heated storage unit, it was awesome. I could work on the car in the dead of winter and still be warm and dry. They didnt like that though.

i brushed a stick off my hood today...

drove mine to school a week ago and haven't moved it since, partially because gas is expensive but mostly because i got the best parking spot ever right in front of my building!
