Funny...I saw a 3.6 white sport wagon drive down the road. Checked on the site and bam, it's still on cargurus...but I bet it sold.
PS...with a baby and wearing jeans every day for work, I would have regretted the light colored seats for sure.

Yeah, I typically see 12-14 mpg too. But a month ago on a Sunday just for the heck of it I told my wife that I wanted to see the best mileage I could get if I behaved, which you know is very, very difficult it not impossible to do in this car.. So I reset the Avg MPG, Avg speed etc and drove 40 miles no more than 65 to 70 mph and never once put my foot in it. Well believe it or not (see pic) my avg mpg was 22.6, I know this isn't the most accurate way to calculate but still I was shocked. I took the pic when I stopped because I knew my son would never believe it..

Reset everything again and driving back home my avg was 13.5 driving how I usually do.

When you factor in zero miles over xxx minutes...the MID does not spit out a happy number idling...
Pretty sure I could hear the echo of my ex's black heart in the sound of that intake sucking in my wallet and the atmosphere!

Hmmm...
damn...that repaired wheel has me considering this, but it would still be cheaper to pick up another set and have IT powdercoated unless I was certain I could get a grand for my set...
which I'm not certain I would be able to.
