          a member on here actually scored a rear spoiler off a jy car, but he's planning on trying to use it on one of his festies... I won't name any names, but if I remember correctly he is our resident singer/songwriter here at FF.com :-P

                    wow... that looks pretty decent! I've never seen one I actually thought looked good before.

                    What kind of mileage have you been getting?

                      around 40... depending on how I drive, but mostly its pizza delivery miles and around here its pretty rough on the mileage because of the mountain roads (the BP festy got 35 normally, but only around 27 tops delivering). Still got a few more items on the tune-up list and of course the super fat tires aren't helping mileage, but they sure do make it fun to drive... I can hang with my old roomie's miata in the twisties
