"Well, did she like it?"
Oh yea!! She likes it. I asked how well the AC cooled for her, she stated "I don't know I had it off and opened the windows and sun roof". She did tell me that she "tried" to keep the economy gauge at the middle when taking off from a stop and drove easy, but when I took it to get my morning cup of coffee a bit ago the gas gauge tells me different

.
I averaged 14.5 MPG during the test, I don't think she'll break 12

.
As for what's next, I don't know. I'm leaning towards a diesel but I have too many projects to catch up on right now. My eyes are always open for the next car project. When the time comes all of you will know.
