Anything related to the Kizashi can go here, but please look at the other headings first. Your topic may fit better under something else.

I can't believe how fast you rack on the miles. It's insane.

I really like driving my Kizashi.
I work 35 miles from home.

Apparently I've over-activated the G-force receptors in my body, so I'm a G-junkie.
Plus I can sit in comfort whilst enjoying a smoke.

Plus, obviously, I'm insane :facepalm:

How many of your miles do you estimate are from spinning the tires and not from actual road mileage? Especially in the winter?

Irrelevant, as the tires not touching the road surface ("getting air") balances out the times they're spinning :shock:

So yesterday was a glorious sunny day so I went and found me some roller coaster roads and had me a wide-smile time.
Of course, there can be difficult sections where frost heaving renders portions of the traveled surface literally car-destroying.
I'm talking more than whoops and holes; I mean craters and jumps and convoluted depressions so deep you'd high-center on them if going slow. Very dangerous and bad. Bad.

But, apparently, the suspension gods guided my path, as I hit nothing I ain't hit before, and nothing car-destroying.
Just lucky.

But it WAS fun!



Rolled into work this morning behind a Volve S60 going between 85--110 MPH and the Kizashi rode true, so apparently I haven't bent my wheels, either :mrgreen:

Last tank 27.5 MPG.

Meanwhile, my average speed is about 20 MPH and my average fuel economy is about 23 MPG.

I am convinced the snail lives in DC.
