I miss my Liberty.

I had a Liberty rental once. And it was a HUGE POS. It got 11mpg! Thats right, eleven. My 8 has never gotten that low mileage. The little display on the roof is what calculated it.
The jeep just had its right oil change before I got it. But since it wasn't done at the dealer, they couldn't reset the "Car needs service" alert. So every time I put the key in the ignition, it made an annoying tone telling me to change the oil. Other cars that do that have a manual reset button somewhere.
It was better then a Sebring, but it was still a POS.

Dear Lord - Please don't let Raz put flames "coming out of the side vent". Thank you.
I do like the 1st 2 pics, though. The hood on the 1st is accented really nicely; the second hood is a bit too busy.

I didn't put much into the Sunlight Silver curse, but 2 close calls with cars turning left in front of me changed my mind. My wife suggested driving with my headlights on, but, I remember hating DRL's on my Suburban I had a few years ago.
I then remembered that I had re-wired my foglights to run separately from the headlights. I started using that during the day about two months ago. So far, so good.
Also, if you have a Sunlight Silver, drive it like a motorcycle, very defensively!

Update: here's some pics of the hood and side after the design has been laid. The design colors are hard to make out: its Mazda's Phantom blue color with a 1/8 white stripe. I messed up laying the line work in one portion on the passenger side, so I'll have to figure out how to fix it, but other than that I love how it came out.
And, I should get my car back on Tuesday! Yay!

Well, my baby is back on the road again! they did a decent job fixing it up. Here are some new pics:
I'm going in on wednesday for a few final tweaks and minor parts. So far I'm getting nothing but rave reviews of the new paint job. I guess all is well that ends well... now if I can only get my deductible reimbursement check soon.
