I know you've been asking yourself, "What happened to WingFeather?!" Well, I bought my M35 & loved it so much that I just logged 4500 miles driving it across the country!

I was able to average 25 MPG while travelling at speeds of 75 to 100 MPH. The Sirius satelllite radio was a Godsend thanks to the Chill channel... 24 hour a day ambient trance It was nice to speak tgo my car and tell it where I wanted to go that day. "Destination Nashville Tennessee", "Destination Flagstaff Arizona", etc... then aim the car in that direction. Priceless.

Satellite radio - They both sounded compressed when I listened to them, so I went for the rebel... Sirius!

I had wandering issues and a slight vibration. The dealers in Nashville and Oklahoma didn't have time for me & wouldn't give me a loaner. Boo! However, a local dealer seems to have solved both issues with a four wheel alignment and balance. Also, I have rattles from the sunroof, dash and steering column... but what do you expect for $50,000?

By the way, the owner's manual says the car works best on 96 octane. They are correct

where do you get 96????

I should have been more specific. Select "76" stations in L.A. feature 100 octane. I loaded up with a blend of 80% 100 and 20% 91.

You are correct though, CA gas sux. Out east you find 93 octane for $2.45 a gallon

Argh ... I just paid 3.099 per gallon for 91 premium at a local Chevron.

I remember the race gas was $5/gallon 3-4 years ago. How much is it now?
