DO NOT LIKE! But seriously, what was I to do in freezing temps with no access to washing at home?

visited the gas station :)
the car says the rate of fuel consumption is 19.7 mpg
but according my calculations it's 14.9 mpg (miles driven=157.5/gallons filled up=10.571)

Technically the law is you can't drive without winter tires between December 15 to March 15th here. Its a super dry day, just extremely cold.

I've only driven it home from the dealer, so I wanted to test out getting in and out of my steep underground condo garage.

Getting out: :tup:
Getting in, scraped a bit :ugh2: Need to work on angles...don't think i scraped the first time i went in

Took her down the street, got some stares then brought her back in.....sigh

ha..well, not going to snow this week...:happydance:

Did you reset the mpg reading on the computer after you filled up? Otherwise it will just keep reading average mpg from it last milage point. Which means it could average usage from the previous fill up. That thing isn't as accurate as physical measurements anyways. It can change the instant you start to drive a little more sportingly.

I replaced my seriously scraped and broken chin spoiler. I suspect that I am going to consider this part a consumable item. It is time to tear out and replace my spoiler-eating driveway to street transition.

I finally cleaned up all the windows! I just recently picked her up, and she had all those stickers on her. Found some medical adhesive remover and a razor blade, and went to work! Took about 30 minutes! Cant drive her just yet, anxiously waiting for Title!

RE: spoiler-eating driveway. Can you just use a steel plate to even it up?
