Just paid $2.17 here in the "between Macon & Atlanta" area...man, I love the mileage these babies get!

[Smedley]

Gas is slowly dropping around here. 2.39 around the house, 2.34 near where I work. Finally!!

Don't forget to take pics, digital, cell phone, video camera. You'll be glad you did. We can put them together and make one of these.

OK, will do!
Gas is running a 2.09 to $2.15 in St Louis.
Trying to decide whether to take the ATX or the 5 spd.
5 spd needs down pipe replaced/welded and a few other fixes but with a 10 MPG delta in MPG guess I should get off my hiney!

Bring the auto B6!

Just got a couple of packing up pictures from Batstiva. He's got everything in there but the proverbial kitchen sink!

Also, I didn't notice a shotgun in there. Isn't it mandatory to carry a shotgun or rifle at all times in the state of WV?

Did you want a picture of the kitchen sink?? I can do it.

And just cause you can't see the shotgun, doesn't mean it's not there.

When I last worked in Ohio, they put alcohol in the gas. How strange. In Texas they put alcohol in the drivers. (long ago) Anyway my Nissan truck would have an intermittent miss the whole time I was in Ohio. Once we got back to NC the miss would cease. Later I found out that a gallon of gas-o-hol has less energy than a gallon of gas. They should charge less.

^^agree...all the sudden we get 10% less volitle fuel and pay twice as much??

Okay, so check this out.... As some of you know, I also have a Ford Freestyle. Well, I've decided that I'm going to load my swap items in it and tow the Festiva again. (b/c there were too many things to bring and they wouldn't fit in the Festiva.)

So, question... how many FM3 swap items can you store in the back of a Freestyle? (with all the seats layed flat)



Let's see..... how about two sets of rims with the tires on? Check!



One Festiva hood and one Aspire back seat? Check!



Huhm, looks like I've got room for that Festiva hatch too!



Wow! Look at that! Hey, I've got room for an Aspire hatch!



What else can I squeeze in there? How about an Aspire cluster, side mirrors and speaker covers too!

I never knew so much could fit! LOL See you soon!!

[Britstiva]

Hey paint those bumpers on britstiva!! I love the roof btw!!

Thanks for the compliments!! And I'm not gonna ruin my surprise, but I did do a LOT of work on it today. Pics to come tomorrow!

[Smedley]
