hahaha that struck me as really funny for some reason

 

I get like 20mpg on my civic. I might be able to convince my dad to get a S.C. if i can more than double to fuel economy. ( i think its a long shot)

 

Jeez man 20 mpg? Is that city or highway mileage? I could probably floor it everywhere I go and still do better than that. Are you sure there's nothing wrong with your car?

 

It really does work. I do it all the time on the long trips home. You can feel it suck you right in when you get in the slipstream and if they switch lanes you don't really have to do anything, it'll pull you right over. Plus, if they're going 75mph+ you know there's no cops around cause they always know.

 

yeah, i used to do that till i replaced my crappy cracked windshield. now i would be pissed if a rock came up and chipped my new one.


BTW, turbo should be capable of 45+ on the highway.

 

Interesting... how far behind them can you be before you're "out of the zone"? I wouldn't want to be tailing a trucker too closely, they might get annoyed or I might get paranoid about running into them.

Words of wisdom.

 

Depends on his speed and what type trailer. Zone will get longer as speed goes up.

 

That's awesome man, glad that thing is working out for you!

 

when i would do this, i would get inside of one car length, but it was very hairy, and it takes all of your concentration. i dont really recomend that. but i think they didnt mind it after a few minutes, because when they needed to move over and they threw their blinker on, i would move over first, then slow down and flash my headlights, giving them room to come over, since it can be tough for them to get over in traffic. they usually flashed their tails to thank me after that too, and they would flash the brake lights to warn me before they had to slow down after i had helped them out. kind of a win-win.

 

so do you have a problem with spinning tires? Because that's one of my major "make it or break it's"
