Gee whiz! I wish we had better access to cars with that kind of mileage!
Does it go over 40 MPH?:-)
I've been driving a Mercury Capri for the last year and a half. I picked it
up for driving to and from work (about 80 miles round trip) and it's been
the most fun driving! I've never owned a car I fell in love with before,
but I can tell you this is my baby. It gets 35 miles to the gallon and has
lots of pep with a turbo engine. I love the convertible top more than I
ever thought I would. This car handles well and is a blast on the back
roads of southern Indiana, where there are lots of hills and ravines giving
two-lane blacktops interesting dips and turns. I dream black tires with
this one. Of course, the back seat is just a rumor, but most people don't
want to drive the back roads with me more than once anyway...:-D
Happy trails,
Diane
