You just don't hear the name Datsun anymore... Do you happen to have a V8 510? or maybe a 13B Rotary 510. Damn old school racing.

I got 370 ish miles on one tank of gas in my Subaru. Even after the mods I've done to it.

Maybe the OP will tell us what he bought.

No just a SSS engine and a pair of Solex/Strombergs.

I bought a Chevy Cobalt.... (First Chevy I have ever owned in my entire life).. and to be honest with all, its a pretty nice car, much more than the tiny tin box that I thought it was gonna be when I bought it...
I have to say that after driving a Jeep Cherokee for close to 10 years, the ride in this Cobalt is SMOOTH....

Im on my 3rd day driving 70+ miles back and forth to work and averaging close to 32 mpg so far, I was expecting more but 32 is still good. Its got a 13 gallon tank on it, so even filling it up costs $20+ less dollars than the Old Jeep...

So I think that I will shut up and quit ranting now... Maybe Ive turned the corner and will actually like this car... Probably so.
