Moved the S2000 out of the garage yesterday and have it currently parked outside in the driveway. Seeing 'er outside makes me want to deal with her again.

So, I do what any computer nerd would do. I beefed up the storage in my computer where I plan to rip them all. I will store the originals in a box at my parents' place.



It would take a book case 4 feet wide x 3 feet tall to store that many DVDs.
That's allot of gigabytes

Yep. The question is though, will it be enough?

So since we don't drive very much I couldn't wait until I'd gone through a full tank of gas... I usually get about 18mpg with the S2000. On the last tank I just tried to baby it a lot and got about 23mpg. This tank I tried a number of hypermiling techniques and achieved 28.5mpg in combined city/hwy driving (mostly city) pretty much all top-down.

Pretty amazing.

Didn't you recently do some maintenance, too?

The only thing I did was a valve adjustment. Does that make a huge difference?

I've never gotten better than about 18-20 mpg with my typical driving style.

Holy crap. We made chicken and dumplings (pretty much just like Cracker Barrel) and not only was it f-ing AWESOME, I'm about to go into full on food coma.
