Let's start over......
In the early '70's I had a VW beetle to drive to work. That cured me from the small car itch! It did come in handy for the 2 gas shortages we had back then. Good little car but too small. I'd rather have some metal around me in case of a crash.

The 350 in this Vega was basically stock, I think. The best transmission I had in my truck was a beefed up C4. I was surprised how long it lasted. It finally gave it up and I swapped in a small block C6. It never was the same. Not too long after that is when I ate the head with nitrous and parked it.

C'mon in -- the water's great!
In the past two weeks I have put 847.8 miles on my Cavalier and averaged 30.23 mpg. All of those miles were for business, meaning I will be reimbursed at the current IRS rate of 57.5-cents per mile. Subtracting out my gas cost of $49.77 nets me $437.72 that goes directly into my "toy fund". This two week window is very typical of what I experience during a normal work period, so you can see how that mileage money can start adding up over the course of 3-4 years.....
Gravy on the top of all of this -- every single one of the miles listed above are miles that didn't go on one of my other vehicles.....
