Sorry to hear that you're not going to be a dakota owner any longer. I've
been looking for a performance minded econobox recently as well but can't
really justify the purchase as I wouldn't be getting rid of my truck.
I've got a friend that had a 2002 neon sxt that was heavily modded and he got
almost 40mpg on the highway. He's got a brand new one now that's in the
process of being similarly modded.
And before I forget, awesome title and great book. Douglas Adams is one of
my favorite writers.
