do you use weatherbug on your droid by any chance? radar + barometric pressure drop will usually tell how eminent rain is. i use it all the time when i take my Z out and my forecast is about 99% accurate using this method. the one percent is usually water falling from leaves or bird crap.
I will check it out. Thank you, Mr. Kenchan.

Since friday i have driven from Chattanooga to San Antonio with a stop in New Orleans. Has been a great trip so far. Also discovered that my mpg only drops by 0.2 when cruising at 80 as opposed to 70. So instead of 25.6 i get 25.4 mpg.

More interior mods materials have come in -

- Simota1 gas gauge decal; and

- picked up some dye markers (red) to start on the stitching.

So, I've got an s-load of stuff in and no time right now to play with it. Hopefully, this weekend, I'll get started on a few things. I'm really anxious to figure out a way to apply Di-Noc to the radio/HVAC fascia.

Nice, when i drove home from Fort Hood I was getting about 26mpg. My current mpg of 25.4 includes getting lost in New Orleans looking for my friend's apartment, so it is probably higher than what it shows on the highway.
