Sweet beamer, love the running lights.

Also lovey jag.

Put these on the other day, actually really like them.

Solid 1,220 miles on the orange whip now! So far so good. I'm getting a solid 42mpg on the highway and around 31mpg in town.

I also ordered a set of rims I plan on plastidipping black and putting them on. Hopefully it will look pretty decent.

Also the Malibu in the background (also mine) has gotten some major work done today, they're not even done. Intake gaskets, valve cover gaskets, ECM o-rings, fuel injector o-rings, thermostat, coolant flush, new fuel rail system, new fuel pressure regulator, and I've already done new transmission lines, transmission flush, oil pan gasket, new fuel filter, new serpentine belt. I can't think of much that will need to be replaced on that thing in the future lol.

Yeah I would definitely get a Model S if I had the funds.

Speaking of SLSs, did anyone see the TopGear episode where they tested the electric version against the gas one and the electric won? I believe it was obviously way heavier and the range sucked but still; interesting thought.

I agree. My Dart has fog lights which actually do make quite a difference but I usually have them on just because I like the look more than just solo headlights, I guess.

Thats probably my favorite body style for the Viper to date.

43mpg on the highway with my Dart today.

Good thing all the saved gas money is now going towards a car payment or higher insurance rates.

Looks like those Oatmeal efforts worked.

I like my black interior too, but on a hot, sunny day when I first start driving my car it's very difficult to turn the wheel as I do this sort of palm-dance as I rotate it without touching it with my fingers.

Yeah Minnesota is the same way. The opposite is true also, some of those -20 degree days and the steering wheel is too cold to touch. I'm glad I don't have leather. At least now I also have heated seats for those cold ass days.

I don't think I've ever seen a Z8 in person, only on NFS Hot Pursuit.

As insanely gorgeous as light colored interiors are, I don't think I'd want one. I like my black.

Oh my god you guys I feel like I have stalkers. So many people stare at my Dart. So many.

Provided I live in a town where stuffty pickups and old cars are the norm, I guess a brand new orange car captures some attention.

Im 6'2" and I fit comfortably, surprisingly. Its also peppy, four a four cylinder. Pretty much all the options in the color I wanted affordably so I'm insanely happy. It also has Autostick which I never see myself having a use for but whatever.
