My new 18" wheels

OK, so they came with another car wrapped around them.

The 318is is still a bit tighter in the twisties but, geez, 350hp.... :D

I saw a Hummer with gold plated 26" wire wheels once. Parked in front of Wal-Mart.

I think I'll wait on larger wheels, at least until I have broken 1,000 miles on it. :D

Be prepared to cry at the pump, I know I would if I had to feed that beast. What's the mpg?

[ak96ss]

Supposedly 17/25 - DC Corp seems to have done a great job on the multi-displacement system, much better than GM's attempt (anyone remember the Cadillac 4-6-8?). It drops 4 cylinders when cruising on the highway (at moderate speeds, anyway).

I've only put like 150 miles on it so far, so it's too early too tell, but mostly city driving so far seems to be pretty close to 15 MPG.

Could be worse, but man, it is a friggin' BLAST to get on it!

I'll be driving the 318is after I get it fixed, this will be the weekend-only car.

Should be the other way around....

[ak96ss]

Yes, but... The 318 gets much better mileage when I am driving 300 miles/week to and from work in downtown DC.

No, I live in the People's Democratic Rep.... sorry... let me start again.

No, I live in Maryland. I guess I actually work in Arlington, but I have to drive through DC every day, although I mostly just skirt around it. Fortunately, the hours I work let me avoid most of the traffic.
