If you just drive around town, probably 16-18 mpg. More like 21 on the hiway.

Congratulations on the car. Now I'd change all the filters, oil, plugs and wires and start mixing some Marvels Mystery Oil with the gas. Take care of it and it should run for very long time.

Where did he say that it was an auto?

But nice car. I got my 85 GSL for 325 at an auction. But I was REALLY lucky.

donuts, no. lol. i was in doing some "paperwork" in between calls and patrol routes. i actually filled up on leftovers from my date with a beautiful woman at carraba's last night. (why she likes me i'll never know.) it was fettuccini alfredo and mannicotti. i ate her leftovers (she forgot them at my place) and mine. come to think of it, there are an awful lot of sweets around here. polished off some pumpkin pie tonight. it was just sitting out.

ok i'll ask for help about any parts. Right now the car has 2 or 3 problems. The car has hose where it connects and it leaks a little bit of gas, 2nd the winshield wiper and cruise control dont work but it is supsected that it is the just the switches that are broke
Other than that the car is nice has to dents on the front, some knicks here and there but Im gonna put a killer sound system in it and also fix up the paint job. I actuall y bought it today gave it a car wash yesterday! lol gave it a car wash before i bought it. I love that car soo much!! luckily it came with 2 , 2002 rx7 parts magazines.

i am a cop. i am in the ARMY, stationed on an air force base. i am an SP/MP. i originally enlisted as a 63S, which is a heavy wheel vehicle mechanic. i got reclassed to do this mission. i like my job most of the time. i try not to write many tickets, though when it is necessary, i will. i will admit to playing on the forum for a while during my shift. my first ticket i issued was a dui that involved a tiny chase and an arrest. what a night it was! not too many people here know what i do for a living and thats ok.
