Well yes that too haha. At least another month or so before mine comes out of storage. We'll see with how the weather decides to act.

No need for that kinda talk, unless it is just a plain Jane crappy Mustang!
Had breakfast with Mom and sis, house all cleaned up and I too need to do some trim painting in my bathroom today. Might just get to it.

I have an automatic but yeah they're nice little cars. I like mine.

I am actually going to try running premium in mine because I've seen cases of higher fuel economy in the Cruze running premium. The ECO manual can get crazy high mileage on premium; I've seen as high as 55-60 mpg (it's rated at 42). From what I've seen/heard, the ECO seems to easily get above EPA estimates, whereas the LS, LT, and LTZ seem to come in under their estimates.

Mine was also an automatic...but it had a Manuel shift mode... Like paddle shifting...but I used the floor shifter... You can pull it to the left for Manuel mode..push forward to upshift,pull backwards to downshift.
