Fuel efficiency crashed in winter. Averaging about 14.7. That's 5 MPG worse than I used to get!!!! That really sucks. But outside of the fact that mileage per gallon goes down in winter, most of my driving now is city driving and almost no highway driving, whereas before, it was the other way around. I am convinced that Nissan is far far behind both Toyota and Honda on fuel efficient cars. Next posting will be during summer where I hope that mileage will go up again, and then at end of summer. Then I have enough data points... nitro
I would be happiest with a motorcycle. But Chicago weather rules that out 260 days a year. Otherwise, I think that my next car is something super efficient. I don't drive that much now that I take the train to work everyday. 90% of my driving is on weekends, so my total miles per year is something like 5K miles. I just think it is interesting how, in terms of fuel efficiency, Honda and Toyota is ahead of Nissan. nitro
Maybe I will get a convertible bug next time around. Four x Four convertible bug - now there's a concept... http://config.vw.com/autodata/config/buildModel.asp?HT=&AppID=VCQ&model=nbc nitro
I don't think I have ever seen a male driver behind the wheel of a new bug. You may be breaking new ground here.
I have seen plenty, but they all look a bit faggy to me. That said, I know how these people feel being branded based on clothes they wear, or the music they listen to, or the sport they like, car they drive, etc: I recently rented the film "A Good Year" starring Russell Crowe. I thought the movie is ok and was enjoying watching it. At one point in the film, his real estate agent asks what he is going to do that evening, including finding a bridge game, to which the Russel Crowe character blurts out that "...real men don't play bridge". I literally said Fuck You at the tv. Poker is a game that is typically thought of as a "mans game" whatever the fuck that means. Poker is to Bridge like Checkers is to Chess. Does that mean that "real" men only play games for cretins? Where I draw the line is watching homos go at it like in the movie "Brokeback Mountain" AAhhhaahahhahaha nitro
