are you talking about the 3500 recall? If so, it doesnt apply to my car, and havent gotten anything int he mail about it.
Only recall I had was something about the seat belt holder that could hold up the belt from being retracted or changed the location of how it...whatever it was a 5 min deal and the press feeds off it like it it could end your life.

as for gas it wasnt too long ago when my wife had her 99 accent we could fill it up from E to F for less then $10 lol |
When I first got my license the camaro was only $10 to fill. That was with 89 octane, it was like $11 or 12 with 94 8) . Ahh the good old days.

Well, most people in Pakistan prefer camels over cars, and their cars get like 60 MPG. Besides, why waste a full tank of gas if your just gonna go suicide bombing?

that's the excuse they're using. i ain't buying it. it's the same game they played in the '70s. oh, we can't keep up with demand! we have to raise the price! there is a gas shortage! ********.
record production the past three years and, like i said, profits in the millions of dollars per day. the hurricane happened at the right time for them. they were probably going to cap the price or lower it a bit, but they happened on a new excuse.

Dam, what's wrong with the LS1 to get that bad of gas mileage? I was averaging 17.5 mpg with my supercharged 93 Pace Car. It would pull down 26-28 mpg on the highway. But majority of my driving is local with never getting above 50 mph. Heck, I was averaging 11.5 mpg with the 454SS pickup.

very large cams, aftermarket heads, higher gearing, large converters...dunno what to tell ya...my drive to work was 2 miles at the time so it was like start the car drive for 10 mins, park the car....then i went home on my lunch and start over again so thats part of it. Your blower car for the most part still ran in vacuum so its as if you didnt even have the blower until you went wot.

80cc is the legal limit. Used to be 50cc but NJ just raised the bar on that one.
You must be at least 15-years-old to obtain a moped license (Class F), but A moped license is not required if you already have a basic driver license, motorcycle license, or commercial driver license.
Anything over 80cc you need a motorcycle endorsement...
