I feel your pain, here's my old whip:



Glad you "saw the light" too.

Cheers, nf

nf:

if that is your last ride, and i assume the small picture in your signature is your current ride, then you are a better man than i. maybe my next ride will be a true hypermiler.

i really hope everyone "sees the light", even if they trade in there big Yukons for Hybrid Yukons, it would at least be a step in the right direction. i guess i am an optimist though!

You've made a giant step in the right direction. You've at least doubled your mileage and who knows how much you've lowered your emissions.

And don't worry, in two years there will be a lot more cool fuel-efficient vehicles to choose from.

One of my fav examples from the past:



Those are the wheels I am looking for in my Prius, but in 16X7. They are costly. But, that is because they are forged...correct me if I am wrong. The stock 16" wheels on the Prius aren't too bad. They are around 16 lbs each. So, stock for now. There are many more accessories to deal with than the wheels for now...hahaha.

Or ad a eurospec rear. Behind my 17inch puppies you'll see some nice and shiny ventilated discs.

Guess we funny europeans run them a bit harder
