4 years ago, a completely restored 1990 VNT Shelby Daytona ( don't laugh 400HP) then an 04' SRT-4 neon. Benefits of higher education kicked in now ....

Most days its my 14K mile 2004 CTS-V (LS6), when I'm going biking after work or taking a trip to the recycling center my wifes 2007 Denali XL ( L92 baby). When the little guy sleeps through the night my 1994 B4C Z28 --20K miles ( bolt on mods LT1 for now...454 dry sump LS7 in the garage right now). I'm an american car guy through and through. Wife suggested an Audi....I'll stick with the V.

Project: 1957 Nomad TT LT5 auto....

We have a few to pick from. Either my 1999 Hugger Orange SS (heads/cam) car
Or my girlfriends 2000 GT, or her 1999 Honda civic.

Civic gets alot of the driving that ends with parking in a public place, my car gets most the long trips for the gas mileage.

I paid more for the brake-pads on my Chevelle than I paid to purchase the car I've driven to work daily for the past 2 years... It's a '91 Bonneville with 269,000 miles on it, which I paid $200 for when it had "only" 224,000 miles.

As much as I love 6pds, I went with the SMG since it's a lot faster than the 6spd. I have about 250 miles on it now and really like the SMG. I put on RD sport springs on it, RPI cold air scoops, BMC filters and will be installing the Meisterschaft GT Performance exhaust with sections 1&2 tomorrow. I'm still deciding on wheels..

What type of gas mileage do you get on that thing?

Every day driving and abuse, right about 16mpg. It gets almost exactly what my last truck with a 5.3 got for mileage, the DOD, or active fuel management, helps make up the difference in the larger displacement. It's by far the best truck I've ever owned. :thumbsup:

03' Chevy Z71 red Extented Cab is my daily driver, but I have been driving my wifes 04' Ford Escape a lot back and forth to school. The escape gets good MPG and is easier to park in those wonderful college parking spaces.

The Boston T system!

Takes a solid hour to go from school to the office. I switch lines in that time too. Although I can read the paper and drive! And stand the entire time packed tightly!

Next Year! The NYC Subway system...which after a short experience this summer...is a bit faster then the Boston MBTA!

Mine is a black 2000 Camaro 3.8L/5spd with a Hurst short throw shifter. It is fun enough to drive, gets good MPG, and is paid off. I have a limited slip rear and aluminum driveshaft waiting to go in. That is about all it will get though, since I am hoping to be able to afford a V8 5th Gen or a G8 GT in a couple of years.

My wife has a yellow 2001 Focus ZX3 2.0L/ auto with a cold air intake and throttle body. She enjoys the hell out of that car, but is starting to look around for something else. I am trying to talk her into a G8 GT so I can get a 5th Gen :D .

Managed to get the wife interested in a 2005 Impala SS. Found one with 22K on it. Good daily driver performance and much better than the Sebring she had. Now if I can do some upgrades to the exhaust and intake and maybe ratio rockers and a programer. Ya that will help gas mileage;)
