    I took my Scion to New Orleans and back today...and the speedo was never off from my GPS by more than 1 mph at any speed...and the Odo was right on.

    What is wrong with my ride??

    It's the wifes ride- She commutes about 60 miles each way to the office- and 31 mpgs is nothing to complain about. I was driving today cause we went house hunting in New Orleans-About a 3 hours drive.

    Good thing too...Some asshole tried to run me off the road- Luckily I managed to lock the brakes up pretty good and slide just a bit off the road...I love my wife...but we woulda been screwed if she was at the wheel.

    (PS-This thread is officially open season postwhoring....)

    Hey Brunes,

    I know somebody that's getting rid of a Mazda soon. I hear it's pretty good. Reliable, decent trans, electroluminescent gauges...the works. May as well trade down if you're thinking of trading at all.

    Well there's your problem! Your engine's too cold. Wait for it to warm up.
