Did anyone mention polishing and waxing your car, so the car slices the wind like a hot knife through butter...

But only after you've carefully taped all body seams. The tape needs to adhere for the long haul.

I WISH! If you install a supercharger, you can actually watch the gas gauge needle slide down as you drive... I'm at 12 MPG, but I wouldn't trade her for anything!

Yeah I remember that back in the 70's they predicted that we would be working 3 day weeks by now.

A short work week is a real solution to reduced fuel consumption and reducing greenhouse gases.
