On the van? It gets 16mpg, but I just bought a set of new tires for it (the old ones where kinda bad) it should get around 18- 20mpg now. Newer ones can get up to 24mpg
But what kills milage, espcially for vans is tire pressure, you have to keep them filled up right. In fact I bet you didn't know that for every 10PSI under what the tire is rated for you lose about 2.5mpg.

Ah, alrighty. Seems reasonable then.

Not sure. We haven't been able to get in touch with the guy who is selling it. He didn't put a price, only a number to call.

Anyways, here's a higher quality picture.

EDIT : Decided to upload one more.

Well, before you get all happy, when you do get a hold of him, make sure you are getting your money's worth. If it's just a trashy Eclipse with a kit on it, screw it. Make sure theres something going on under the hood before you blow money on it. That spoiler looks to be a bit more tweaked than what it should be, and looks like it's more for show than for actual performance. I'd be suspicious if I were you.

Wait, it's got JDM Carbon Fiber ashtrays for superior weight reduction.

I love my car's mileage. It's a nice, tiny, mildly sporty styling, but it's efficient. Painfully slow though if you floor it. I went out on a flat, empty road by I-80, near the edge of the Great Salt Lake, and me and my dad timed it. 0-60 in 15 seconds, woo!

Fixed.

Yes, that was pwnage on the highway. T-boned by some lady going 40 mph... internal bleeding in the right lung and one hell of a whiplash.

*small story. Driving on highway. Snowy and icy. Breaked and slid sideways. Got hit and blacked out for awhile.*

Well I'm in a good mood. Just got my first car. Around spring my grandmother passed away, and her car was just sitting at my grandpas since then. He finally decided to give it up, and gave it to my dad. So my dad gave me his car. Chevy beretta, and I love it. I'm insuring it tomorrow. It needs some work, but none of it is very serious. Only major thing is I need to replace the radiator. It's fine to drive around town right now, I'm getting some sealer for it, but I need to get it fixed soon so I can do longer drives. And no, I'm not one of those people who gets everything handed to him. I told him I really appreciate it and everything, went out and bought him some crown royal to say thanks. I'm planning on paying him back for it once I get a new job. I don't have a picture quite yet, but it's like this except dark red. I have quite a few plans for it for the future, including a full engine swap (but that probably wont be for a couple years)

Excellent. What engines are you thinking of shoving in there?

In before LS1 or 4AGZE.

No.

I remember you saying something about a Corvette once. I'll gladly take it off your hands. You've got to run out of room someday. >_>

Sadly I sold it to my father.

So now I only have my SYC.

Shout, your truck is awesome.

I'm serious.. I really like run down old cars.. Don't ask me why.. I just do.

shadowkhas · Post by **shadowkhas** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 4:24 pm

That truck is awesome. The seat would bug me, though. I'd probably buy a seat cover for it.

hey shout, how big is the engine in that thing?
