hahaha. I'll clean my own, thanks though. That jersey is about to go on ebay since your lazy **** can't return pm's, phone calls or meet up at designated times.
Yes... I used the pumping pedal thing off of G35driver.com

Hey,
just curious to see how much the hood cost to get repainted ?
I just got my front bumper & right side panel redone....and asked how much to paint my hood at the same time. It was like $ 350.00.
So I'm looking into a CF hood, because for the cost it seems like I could get a Cf hood for half of what I'd pay for a repaint that would only last about a year or so.

Prove me wrong.

Yeah, I wouldn't bet so easily. Let me prove you wrong again. You can get better gas mileage than that (I've gotten much much higher). All you have to do is go up to a real high velocity (e.g., 120mph), then coast just as you reset the gas mileage meter. After about 30 seconds, it'll read an extremely high mpg number with a high avg. mph. You really want to make that bet (again)?

And on the gas mileage, lol, are you saying that I did that coasting stuff? I can assure you I did not. I did not know that the mpg read high when you coasted.
I still think its great gas mileage for a sports cars.

If you weren't coasting, then those are all highway mpg (which is still ridiculously high). The highest I've gotten on the highway (without cheating) was a 33.x mpg @ 6x mph. Mixed driving, I get about 23 - 24 mpg.
So, if I went out right now did the coasting thing and gave you a number higher than the shown in your pic above, do I get a $100?

But the 31.1mpg was done on the level surface of I-10.
