I made it a good 5 miles before I got to a Shell. My battle wagon be thirsty yo!

I don't like getting low like that. Picking up trash from the bottom of the tank. But today is payday and our checks came in late.

Maybe a base C6 would be an upgrade. People clame to get good mpg's from those. Though, a FoST, Dart, or Corolla S would still be better in economy duh. Too many wantz and no moneyz.

Yes clumsy A6 is an auto trans. Remember, I never clamed to be an enthusiast. I am better than that, i'm an OPPOnaut! But yes, a manual is perfered but not a must. I don't really care. If I need a fix, I got Astons, AMG's, and Lotus to drive whenever I want at work :]

mmmmmm C5 Zed Oh SEX! I wonder if a base C6 is quicker than a C5 Z06 overall? I can't rememer how they were the last time I drove them.

Fuck it! The C5 Z06 looks better and is a hardtop so you can do stage rallies

My vote goes to mazda 3 vs dart/corolla. I may be biased.

I don't think the elevation changes... ever here on the TX Gulf Coast. But if so, i'd have to stock plenty of new front bumper covers lol :]

Or you can just get a Cayman

Mazda 3 is pretty rad. I wonder if the newer ones still have that huge glove box

They don't. My 2015 is probably less than half my gf's 2012. I could probably hide a little person in hers.

My Jeep would blink the low-fuel light on and off for about 50km before it would come on solid. I once drove it 175km after the light went solid after poor planning on a holiday in rural Manitoba. I didn't run out, but by the time I made it to an open gas station, I put 95L into what the manual claimed was an 89L tank. I quit worrying so much about the low fuel light after that as I'd put almost 650km on that tank, driving without giving two shits about mpg for the first 2/3 of the trip.

The 2006's were roomy but now I know the 2012's were also. So the 2015 are just normal then huh? It's ok though, it such a rad machine. Skyavtive is such a great build philosophy

Don't go front-wheel drive, Ulises.

95L? Oh wow that is a big tank. It's funny how the light comes on and off like little hints. We both know the limits now

EL_ULY > V8 Rustler

i'd take a CVT FWD right now if it means a full warranty and dealer maintenance plan. That matters a little more right now :]

Why not go with a Subaru? AWD and Manuel/CVT. Good fuel economy. Warranty.

I forgot what that display looks like without all the gear indicators lit up :P (previously had a B5.5 Passat 5 AT in the family).

'91 Jeep Comanche, long bed, many options ticket. Including the one for the biggest gas tank. I think the standard one is around 70L, but I'd have to look it up. It's also not the best-baffled tank out there, so the blinking on and off is just the gas sloshing around. Plus it's long and narrow, and mounted longitudinally, so it's more sensitive to inclines and accel/decel than it is to cornering.

Yes! Especially in that color! If I were going to get a 'vette it would have to be a C5 Z06. Plenty quick and best looking!

Yeah, normal size. A little smaller than my corolla. I've only had it about 2 1/2 months so not enough time to develop any issues. My only gripes are: not enough storage pockets and rev hang. My corolla had so many little places to put stuff. I had a separate place for my phone, wallet, spare change, etc in the corolla. Rev hang seems to be the norm on all new manuals so I'm not sure I can complain since everyone seems to be doing it.

I was thinking it was maybe sloshing around :]

Doesn't tickle my fancy. I have looked at some and the only ones I like are too expensive.

in parts a year? lol j/k I actually do remember driving an 08 Cayman and C6 back to back. Cayman was hella grippy and the C6 had more huevos. I also remembering the interior on the Cayman was sort of on the VW side and not aging well for not being to old at the time.

My ass and an Elise seat are not the best of friends. They are pricey still in good shape*

Yeah, unless you get a WRX or an STI they are pretty bland.
