    What was wrong with the old ring? Can you post some pictures of it? I didn't know that these rings wear out and become a problem.

    I removed the obtuse RH side wiper. You know the one that is mounted halfway up the windshield up in the airflow. MPG up at least 10 mpg!

    I tried to relocate the driver's side down one tooth lower. But it was crashing into the plastic below the windshield so I put it back to its original position.

    Over the last two weeks I have been working on my wheels, which I fully repaired and painted:

    Today I accelerated SO QUICKLY ...

    (Everyone: HOW QUICKLY DID YOU ACCELERATE??)

    I accelerated SO FAST that the ECO light went out!!

    I wanted to hear what our little half-a-Porsche-engine sounds like when it's generating lots of power.

    Of course, before I flogged it I waited for it to warm up enough that the valvetrain wasn't ticking.

    Don't you have warranty? They're giving engines away like Halloween candy! And one for you.....

    Holy crap! I totally forgot about that. Makes sense now. I had to pull out turning left into heavy traffic the other day. I swear that sucker bout shredded the left front tire. It's gotta be due to lack of weight and drag of that wiper. But seriously though. It got up to speed quicker than expected. The CVT unit I rented in Las Vegas would just get left standing compared to my 5-speed. It's amazing the difference.

    And three years early, even!
    I just paid mine off too, and won't even say the total with the rolled over negative equity from my previous car. 24 months early. 60k and going strong.
