Status: offline 		thats too bad about the VW bus. how did you flip it? 7 mpg is really bad but you have a really fast car to make up for it. its always a trade: performance / economy. I get like 40 something with that car^^, but it doesnt have power when you really need it.

I had a bunch of my friends in the car with me who were all sitting on one side while I took a turn a little too fast.
It still drove home but I was pretty upset,my dad was pretty mad but he still bought me a new car.

Status: offline 		I turned 16 while ago, and I'm getting my license in a couple weeks.

I'm going to be gettin a 1995 GMC Yukon. 5.7L 350 in that thing. It sucks gas so bad. I think gas is about $3.15 a gallon here. Our mechanic owned it from about 1995-1997 so it has a K&N Air filter, Aftermarket exhaust system, and an aftermarket performance chip. The hood was pretty oxidized from 12 years of weathering. I got some rubbing compound and NuFinish wax and wroked for 1 1/2 hours to fix it. Looks good now.
