New DD got delivered today!
 
Finally got sick of paying $1000.00+ per month for gas, so the Tahoe is out and this little fella got dropped off today. 2011 Cruze Eco, 42MPG of compact turbocharged goodness! And may enable me to get something fun again down the road a little bit :)

6Spd manual, and I've been hearing some people getting 47-50MPG on the highway, will beat the balls off of 15MPG. Ilike how they made it to, lightened up with special seats, forged wheels and a few other tweeks, made it more aerodynamic (coolest thing is the nose vents close at speed, depending on RPM and engine temp, to make it even more slippery) and some special gearing to get the MPG up. no stupid batteries, doin it old school. Only thing I am gonna hate is the low resistance tires, somehow I feel like I want my tires to resist....

smokinss 04-14-2011 12:10 AM

cool. Just watch out for this. Sorry I had to warn you

Already been fixed but thanks for the heads up

smokinss 04-14-2011 12:15 AM

good. I found out about that and was like god damn it.

Batman 04-14-2011 12:19 AM

They have actually only found a few with the problem so far, but they were all recalled and mine was built after the fix was put into effect

Well I picked the car up today at 7:30 PM at the dealer and it was on dropped off again by a tow truck around 9 with no oil pressure. Hopefully it is an indication problem. Either way I am pretty pissed off
