[DeTomaso] NPC Check Engine Light

daily driver is that new CRZ, it gets 38-39 mpg on my road trips. I figure 
my Pantera costs me about four times as much in fuel. So I go from extreme 
to extreme, one balancing out the other. It beats using my old 13 mpg GMC 
pickup as the daily driver, which meant that between the Pantera and the 
truck, my city fuel economy was about 11 mpg. :-[[  And you know, the CRZ is 
slow but it is fun on the twisties.

Just an uninvited comment... I *like* having one boring car.
Dreadfully horribly boring.  I think that might make me boring too.
But I need something liek a washing machine to get back and forth to
work, and though having an exciting car for that purpose is what I
used to dream of (and live for a time) I find that my limited
enjoyment of an exciting car in commuter traffic really is
frustrating.  I drive my little Del Sol back and forth and back and
forth, in blearey eyed mornings and exhausted afternoons, grocery
shopping and driving the kid to practice.  Boring boring boring.  But
it's cheeeeeap! And it just keeps running without complaint.

I have become what I despise.  A boring person with boring thoughts
and boring chores.  But I do have a few fun toys and my boring life
doesn't distract me too much from that :)
