Your Car? - Page 9
Question:
hmm... I actually sold my car today, which leaves me with a fast motorcycle:
and an old scooter:
Perhaps they don't really belong in this thread, but hey: the scooter has a spare tire, so that makes five wheels in total... just like most cars! :-)

Answer:
1997 Toyota Tercel and when it's in the shop I just hop on my broomstick

Answer:
1996 Toyota Corrolla, affectionately called the "Luvnest," with 121,000 miles on her, beautiful new all season tires and just had her timing belt and alternator belt replaced today, my mechanic says she should make it to 200,000 easy.
Bought her second hand for $4500 nearly 4 years ago, put close to 60,000 miles on her, at about 35 mpg , god bless 'er, I do love her so!
I call her ugly looks a theft deterrent, but she knows I love her.

I have a US Patent Pending on a unique aerodynamic addition to pickup truck beds that will adapt easily in seconds to fit over 90% of the trucks on the road. It can be installed in about 5 minutes and removed and stored on the vehicle in the same amount of time. It decreases both yaw and drag significantly to increase mpg performance greatly and also helps to stabilize the rear end of the truck at higher speeds.

My son's latest test run with a prototype on his 2004 Ford XLT Dual Cab V8 Automatic A/C Pickup Truck (a 6800+ lb vehicle) worked out to be 39.1 mpg on a 237+ mile trip @ 55 mph (Cruise Control) from Albany, GA to Elijay, Ga. That is over 100% better than EPA estimates, and that is into hilly country and he says he was experiencing a slight headwind part of the way. Unlike most "mileage increasing" crap on the market now that doesn't increase mileage, this damn thing actually works, and works amazingly well.

Between us we have logged over 9 thousand miles using the 2 prototypes installed on our two pickup trucks and he has averaged in his Ford (EPA 15 mpg City/19 mpg Highway) in the 28+mpg range for all test miles, town and highway, speeds from 25+/- mpg through 85+ mpg, while I have averaged in the 23+ for the same in my gas-hog Tundra (EPA 14 mpg City/17 mpg Highway). I was in the 26+ mpg range for several 55 mph (Cruise Control) trips of hundreds of miles each.

We are going to manufacture and sell this device for under $100 per unit if possible. Look for it in 6-12 months on the market if all goes well. It is amazingly costly to do this! Estimates are about 200k to 250k in development, CAD design, blow mold design/construction, professional road/wind tunnel testing, legal fees, etc., to get to the first manufactured unit. Damn, I want one for my truck!
