Lol, I thought you were joking, this one's been getting beat up for a while, now. Seriously though, it's an issue that's not a problem. Ever get stuck because you couldn't reverse?

Me neither.

no, im just worried it might cause an issue one day. today i just realized the rear mud flaps came off the middle fastener from backing into that curb. i put metal fasteners on so they shouldn't come off again so easy. i also just ordered a HD radio adapter for my stereo. i may eventually trade in for a 3.6r limited, but its not very likely.

the rally armor mud flaps look more robust with metal washers, i think i will replace all the plastic ones with metal. this is totally unrelated but im giving a presentation on exporting J&D's Foods, makers of baconnaise, bacon salt, etc..., anyway i would rather have this in my driveway than the publishers clearing house awards van

That's a good way to find out if a PETA activist lives in your neighborhood.

What is your real world MPG with the PREZ?

well i was getting 37.1 with over 100 miles so if i drove it all the time id see an avg of at least 36mpg. my wife avgs around 33 normally. im liking it more now.

im happy my 1 class is over with, had to give 2 presentations wearing a monkey suit
in the last 24 hrs. only need to go take a test on tuesday night and then i have off til january 7th. hopefully i can find an internship in my time off though. also, in addition to having to replace all my mudflap plastic washers with steel ones, my fender flares need to be riveted on or something like that. this is the second one i've ripped off. haven't checked for any meth laps on the land i wanna build my house so i went back there again, stupid little trees as usual tear up the plastic. i think pictures get people's attention better than words so here ya go

another ripped fender flare

where we wanna build our house

"don't take my picture daddy!"

thought at the little twigs and leaves on the front of my car were funny, then i found a branch stuck in my grill. instead of putting a wreath on my grill like so many others, i guess i can drive into stuff

some people can see them i think? maybe its just pics from my email that don't work? if im the only one who can see them and i have to do it the time consuming way i will stop posting pics. im thinking of putting rivets in the bottom of the fender flares. i wonder if that lip on the inside of the wheel well opening will be enough.
