Driven like a grandma to see if i could break my 30 mpg goal (which I did)
311 miles on 10.1 gallons = 30.79 MPG
And now its back to driving like a normal human should

Hmmm, leaving my keys in an obvious place in my room so my brother had the opportunity to steal it.
Everything is fine now though with the car, but I still haven't listed it for sale. I need to get off my lazy butt and do that.
I also once pushed it too hard around a free flow lane corner and almost lost control.

1. Drove off the dealer's parking lot with the e-brakes on for 20 miles the day I bought the car. hahaha
2. Flooring the car, jumping super steep hills @ 80+... hey, tried simulating those cars you see flying off hills in san francisco in movie chase scenes
3. Blow past a cop doing 120+

We see Nash Bridges all the time, too! (Kidding also!)
Kinda wish I did, though, hehe.

Parked in a friends apartment parking lot and it got towed. Jack ass didn't tell me, or didn't know, you needed a permit to park there....there were no obvious signs either. Cost me $250 to get my car out!!!! That's like 1/30 the price of my car!
There's more stuff, but I'll have to remember what they were.

on my first TL, i dropped someone off in a parking lot and it was dark and empty so i whipped it hard and hit one of those wires that hold up telephone poles. cut my front fender like dental floss. so the insurance company had one with 40k less miles that was a repo and it was the same color with a clear carfax, so i took there offer

1. Let my roommate borrow it and he rear-ended someone, total damage on my car alone was about $6-7k.... idiot.
2. E-braked it in a snow-covered parking lot and T-boned some chick in a Focus.... shows what kind of garbage Ford makes compared to our cars.... her doors dented in like a tin can but my bumper cover just needed replaced, nothing underneath.
3. Just got a $150 ticket on my way home from school for 99 in a 65.... you know how the cop usually comes up and says, "License and proof of insurance" or whatever.... this guy comes up and the first thing he says is, "Ninety-nine. I got you going ninety-nine. Ninety-nine. That's a four point violation!" -- I guess he didn't realize I'm from PA and points don't transfer from Ohio.
4. Got a $110 ticket on the way back for 87 in a 65. Needless to say I have begun using my cruise control.

I'd hate to be a jerk but arn't you the guy who complains about how horible the TL is and how many problems it's giving you? Maybe the way you drive has something to do with it
