I was laid up for about a week with the back injury but other than that I stop for no injury. *smashes beer can against forehead, puts hunting knife between teeth and jumps off cliff onto shark*

Well, I guess you can wear it like a badge of honor.

Sorry to hear that but like you I've have broken at least two toes over the years and never done anything but keep going.

The best on a tank ever. I was getting nervous that the gauge would all of a sudden drop so I didn’t go any further.

Obviously you weren't in VTEC that much! I have never gotten over 280 per tank.

Best mileage I ever got was coming back from 7 hills spring fling.
I wound up as sort of pack lead and the pack made great progress at speeds which may have been slightly in excess of the posted speeds.
I think I got something like 26 MPG.

After looking at the picture I need to clean the dash when we get home!

See now this...this really annoys me.

The local council are putting in a cycleway down our road as it's a popular walking and cycling route. Our side of the road has an open storm drain that is a crash hazard and collects a lot of rubbish, while the other side of the road has many old trees along it that bring a lot of character to the area. Using Government Logic, it would have cost a bit more to fill the drains (thereby improving safety and aesthetics), so instead the trees are being cut down.

Obligatory terrible photo from a huge distance:

If my S redlined at only 8k I could probably get the same results
