Shouldn't get road head in a hyundai. They're not built for that.
Geo metro's however.... They totally freaking are. So are 1988 manual transmission turbo dodge caravans.

Got 270miles on 3/4 of a tank (7.5 gallons) so I get the mileage. I just need to stop driving like err day is the track.
I was just derpin and misjudged the curb, now she'll have a fullsize spare. Lets stay positive.

Colonel Gustard on 10:42:47 AM / 22-Sep-11i need to teach you how to drive like a grandma to preserve rims and get ultra super gas mileageFunny story: Ultra Super Gas Mileage can be better achieved through quick acceleration to final velocity below 55mph, and reaching cruising gear as soon as possible, as opposed to grandma-like slow-burn acceleration. As for the speed you stay at, that's something I don't think any of us are any good at.
That said, I know exactly what Maxpow means about derping around. The Saturn and the GMC pickup have both suffered from this. The former got both its right tires blown out, and the right CV axle fucked when I mis-timed a rev-match on the downshift into a right turn, and it jumped forward into the turn lane. And right up over the corner of a drive-in. At 45mph.
As for the GMC, I live by this warehouse, and I was tooling around with a kid I went to high school with, and I was drifting the damned truck around the corners. Well, I hit one corner, and the brakes either didn't catch enough, or it didn't downshift in time, because I didn't swing out, I just skidded and smashed the wheel into the curb. Bent the lip to hell. Luckily, Sierra had a full-size spare on her. I rolled the truck out of the way, and we got that wheel swapped in 5 minutes, using the OE scissor jack. (which was all the way down when I started) The broken wheel is still under the bed. The suspension on that side is either so bad already, or so resilient, I haven't noticed any differences. She'd still be a tool-around, if the transmission wasn't going out again, and the engine had more than 5 of its 8 cylinders firing.
Oh, and Jay, cowgirl in the back seat of an old GM pickup, while your buddy's off-roading it. Like. A. Boss.
*ahem* This is about what I did to my S12. So, what I did to my S12 today was put more time, and curses, into this damned wiring harness. Half the wires are missing, or the wrong color, thanks to one of the previous owners doing their own work on it. At least the current owner studies electrical engineering. smiley

Drove around laughing that my tach is actually working. Drove my mom over to the bar down the road to get tickets to an up coming NFL game in Seattle, Then i turned around in a gravel parking lot and did a little drift before coming back home to clean the interior. Now to be up at 9am and drive to Abbotsford

Pulled both front fenders, the bumper, the grille, grille support, and the one parking lamp I still have off.
She looks funny now, but the passenger door opens and the headlight will actually raise and fall. Door must be aligned too far forward.
Oh, I also re-routed the positive terminal the previous owner had through the shifter hole.
Now, I just need to solder this wiring harness, get this new ignitor in place, get all the missing bolts back in place, find a new PS pump and bracket, glue some shit down, and probably replace the driver fender and find a new set of parking lamps. And a new battery.

iceageg on 07:07:50 AM / 20-Sep-11Contacted the current owner to get additional pics and talk price . . . looks like my search may be over soon! More notchy goodness for me!
FTW for self quote, but had to notify seller that my purchase has to be delayed due to personal/family dynamics. Will probably still be there when I'm ready, but still kicking myself.

Decided that, if I don't have the car running by the end of the month, it's getting parted. Two weeks after that, I'm calling a scrap yard for the rest. No sense in fucking with a car it takes more than 2 months just to get to turn over.

Got new tires put on my rims, then when i got home and went to put the rims on i noticed the fucking weights are falling off. Back to get them rebalanced i guess. Also found my oil leak, I have a hole in my oil pressure sensor.... Like a hole inside the connector and a rubber seal around the connector, so i need to get one of those today
