My passenger is the pet peeve...he's an engineer and the inelegence (is there such a word?) of the design bothers him. Along with most everything else in the world. Besides he just likes to pick on the car. He calls us all 'hybrid snobs'. He, however, is driving my 1989 Honda Accord LXi (5 speed 4 cyl. and still gets 34 mpg). It's amazing how much Honda hasn't changed in 15+ years!
Thanks for the geography lesson on El Mirage..I'm a rallyist and I just like to know where things are.
