Yep I found that, and I'll be ordering that little number soon. I also need to get under the car and unplug that solenoid, just have not had a chance to get in the garage in the last couple weeks. I definitely found the right car, just having fun with it doing the little things it needs and driving it every day.

Seriously? I think my average mpg reading right now is 10.8! I'll be going on a road trip Tuesday so I'll get a better number then, expecting something north of 20mpg over the trip. But in my normal every day driving, mixing neighborhood, back roads, highways and in the city (25 miles from the 'burbs to downtown), I'm seeing 16-17mpg on average. And I leave it in FULL POWER all the time, so I guess it's not bad.

The tires are brand new, stick very well, and have extremely stiff sidewalls. I avoid speed bumps whenever possible!
