I have you all beat with my gas saver.. I have a 1989 Ford Festiva. [sm=gears.gif]Its just about 20 years old and still gets 35mpg. I cant kill this car and I havedriven it like I stole it for the last couple years. The harder I drive it the better it runs... It was lookin pretty bad so I sanded it down and took it in to an earl scheib and nowit looks great.

As far as the moped/bike thig goes I am all for Jap bikes. Ill tell you what. I have owned 2 hondas, god rest their souls.. 1 Iburried about 110mph, got airbourne off a poor maintained bridge spanning a dry creek, tank slapping began and they I flew for a little while.. I was alright but the bike didnt make it.. I got her heart beating again but she was too far gone.. That was an 02 CBR600F4i, then I went up to a 2001 Honda VTR100. That bike had some gnarly power especially with all the engine work and mods. I got a little to crazy with that one so I traded it in for a jeep. I think I could get a moped now though.. After living in Italy for the last 2 years they arent so bad.. I would rock it hard and not even give a ****.. Of course it would have tobe a 2 stroke all tweaked out but still..
