ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I was wondering your Screenname, now I can put your name by your pictures in my album!!

Your car is PHAT too! Very nice!

I followed your directions on hooking up that extra speaker setup, but I bought a different one than what you have. I bought a small sub! Sounds good even without an amp. The low end anyway!

At the next CTFregistration, ask for ten volunteers to test a "dramatic fuel-saving device." Tell all ten to keep accurate fuel-milage records for the month before CTF. Then at CTF, install the devices in only five of the Cruisers (but don't let anyone know who has what). Have the volunteers do the same fuel-milage recording for the next month. I would be surprised if ALL 10 Cruisers didn't see improvement in their milage, just from the drivers thinking they had a fuel-saving device on-board. If drivers are really concerned about fuel savings, they drive with fuel-savings always on their mind, and it reflects on their driving style.

The way to test this product is to do a true double-blind study. If the thing really works, it should work for folks who aren't even aware it's on board. but that would require a TRUE double-blind study, with people driving Cruisers that were modified without their knowledge. Anyone out there have access to a rental fleet of PT Cruisers so a proper test could be tried?

Sorry to disappoint you but that doesn't make sense. My wife would laugh if I was accused of having fuel savings on my mind and it would reflect on my driving style

I"ve always kept records of my mpg whether I was driving my '01 hard for a week and then driving it easy for a week just to see the difference in mpg I would get. I drove the '01 for 21 months before I got my GT and I know exactly what my mpg was before and after the spacer install. I've had the GT since February and I know exactly what mpg I'll get whether I drive hard or easy.

Thanks for the backup Bob. I can be very cynical and would be the first to admit if the spacer didn't do a damn thing.
