so a guy and his son came over to buy some 260z parts and the last time they came in a black prius with dark tinted windows we talked about how much I hate those cars 

he does to but it is a company issued car

Only the bigger/newer ones. My girl had one, could be we just got lucky, but it was really a great car. Was a quick little bugger too.

I drove a 2010 model. Drives nice, and I liked the seats! What kind of fuel economy were you getting?

It's in a stack of parts, but I have started to pick at it again. It's a 63 swb, I have a 04 24 valve I'm putting in it. It's really not THAT big of a job (relatively speaking to some of the other things I have put together) I'm just not really motivated by it yet.

If I remember right, a little over 30. I'm sure a person could do better, she runs the snot out of everything.

Even 30 would cut my fuel costs in half, over driving the Z daily.

 

I'm hoping to get something that will get closer to 40 mpg. I'll have to do some research.

Diesel would be nice, but I can't do another VW.

 

Who else makes a small diesel?

Well, pretty much everyone, unfortunately, to get them in this country is not easy. BUT, yeah, old Mercedes, Audi, Datsun pickup (kinda spendy from what I've seen). The older diesel stuff is a bit on the doggy if you care about that.

I need a commuter car. Anyone have experience with Mini Cooper?

 

I've fixed a few head gasket leaks and a lot more front cover/oil pan leaks. 

What else would you like to know?

 

 

They're great cars until they're not.
