Johnny Tran catches him and shoots up the G....

 

LOL I only got away cuz I saw him b4 he got into the parking lot and by the time he got to where i was at, i was alrdy at the exit, so I wasn't visible for him to see me make the turns otherwise I'm sure he wouda caught me... He still made the right guesses tho considering he drove past the house I was in.. He knew which ways I would take apparently but if I didn't go into the garage, he'd have a pretty good chance of gettin me... I just got lucky but I was scared as hell lol u gotta understand i'm 21... I'm not exactly thinking straight... I thought 3am was late enough for me to mess around, I'm sure you've done some practise in empty parkinglots as well

 

Do all the radios play MP3? I put one in the other day and it didn't seem to work. I have an early 03'

 

03 models wouldn't have it

 

I get awful gas mileage with my car. Not even 10mpg. I get, at most, 175miles on a tank and Im paying $2.91 per gallon or roughly 50 bucks a tank.

I do have a minor subtle rattle which I've found btw. Mine comes from the front left air vent. The little middle piece is the cause but you have to listen for it to hear it so I dont care enough.

Bluetooth rocks. Ive got the LG VX8100 from Verizon and its just kickass. Only thing I didnt like, at first, about the bluetooth is that it takes a good minute or two to program one number in. But once they are all programmed, it works wonderful.

Shifting is pretty rough from 1-2nd gear but if you let off the clutch slowly and sort of pause half way(you'll feel where) for a half second youll get it smoothly just not so quickly.

I just turned 18 on the 12th of Feb and Ive had my car since Dec. 14 and I absolutely love it. Its the most fun car Ive had. I had a 1999 MBenz E320 in excellent condition(hand-me-down from my mom when I turned 16) so Ive been very fortunate. The cars only seem to be getting better and better

 

Do you EVER take your foot off of the gas?!??!?!?

That seems a bit rediculous.

 

Yes I do and yes it is rediculous. So much for 19/26mpg. I hardly do any freeway driving at all and when I do its only a few miles at a time.

 

seriously lol you must be flooring it every chance you get huh? i just pumped gas a few hours ago, and I got 22.1MPG, my normal is 20-23MPG. a good 60%HWY/40%street...

let the baby breath, will ya?

 

You need to bring the car back to the dealer and tell them that there is something seriously wrong with your car if you are really getting 10mpg. I'm dead serious!

 

Nope, I shift at the highest at about 4000, sometime Ill get carried away for a take off here and there and take it to 5 or 6000 but mostly just 4000. I really only do stop and go driving. Stop light to stop light and maybe 10 miles on the freeway every other day or so.

But, do you really think there is something wrong or are you just saying that to be funny? Thanks

 

I'm not trying to be funny at all! If you are calculating it correctly and you're truly getting 10 miles to the gallon then you need to take the car back to the dealer ASAP! No joke!

 

there is no way that you could possibly get that low miles on a full tank of gas unless you put cheap Arco gasoline OR there is some defect in your car. It should be taken to the dealer for service or them run a diagnostic since it's still under warranty and a 2006 model.

Fuel economy for me great, and as posted, I am getting about 340 miles per tank and that is in Los Angeles freeway parking lots(traffic), city streets, stop lights, and some fast driving.

 

Im using Chevron Supreme w/Techron gas, 91 octane. Ill call the dealer tomorrow and ask them. Im due for an oil change in March but I think Ill take it in before. THanks guys! Ill let you know the outcome

 

Cool man! Good luck and keep us updated!

 

1) Rattle in driver's side door...really bad with even a little bass
2) Brake pedal clicks - have been told this is normal by someone at the dealership I trust
3) MP3 Display is pretty bad...as said above
4) If I turn the dash light dimmer down ALL the way, the radio display pulses
5) Gas mileage....tank 1 was ~18.5 MPG, tank 2 was just under 20...I do short trips (<8 miles)
