i had a quarter life crisis and bought one of these things a few months ago. i've just now been able to let everything sink in, and i absolutely love my new car. best investment i've ever made. i just realized that since i bought it, and with all the driving back and forth i've done to work in the past three months, i've only filled my gas tank 2 1/2 times to date. what a money saver that is. i have yet to travel with it, as i got the car brand new with less than 8 miles on it. i've had to use up 1,000 now because i had nowhere really to go except to my job and home. but now that i've broken my new "E" in, i'm ready to hit the road. i just don't know where i should go. lol. :)

p.s. i put a link up of me and my car. hopefully it shows up on the link. i'd rather the image just pop up with the text though. oh well

It is a great vehicle!!! Nice color......just need a Raiders tag on the front...yeah right. Anyway enjoy your "E". By the way you don't need any particular place to go for a road trip no matter how long it is :grin:

That's my favorite color, for sure! Congratulations!

BTW, are you saying you got 1000 miles out of 2 1/2 tanks of gas?
If so, you get twice the mpg that I get. :?

Tell me about it :lol: I get around 19 mpg in the city and 22 on the hwy. 2 and 1/2 tanks is roughly 40 gallons......1000 miles divided by 40 = 25 mpg it's all in the #'s

just can't figure how you fill up 1/2 a time :)

Congrats on the purchase.

The expression on your face looks like the neighbors dog just took a dump in your yard or something!
