1) Today I got a little pissed at a rude driver, so I gave her a little VTEC action. I remember having just gassed up and being 1 click down (seconds before this). Afterwards, I look down and see that I am three clicks down (on gas). I can imagine being close to my second click or whatever, but three! At this point I feel really cheap ($1.75/gallon, big deal) and shrugg it off. Should one blast shed so much fuel?

2). I am getting phyched about the warm weather coming (one day). I remember reading in the manual that you should put the top down when the car is parked (and off). Do you guys put the top down at lights and such? It seems silly to have to turn off the car (assuming it is stopped). I have only had the car for this winter....mind you.

3). If anyone blows an S engine, send them to Dark Diggler (thats me). I have connections for a good deal from a HONDA mechanic [he has one]. PM me for details.

1. You should take a deep breath and not allow a rude driver to make you do something you might be sorry for later.

2. I have been in mine at a light and it started to rain. Luckily, I didn't have my boot on so I just put the emergency brake on and raised the top. No problem time wise.

3. Thanks.

Are you telling me that one swift acceleration would cause me to burn almost a gallon of gas?

That is unbelievable.
