    He usually only does that when he has to rotate into a different weekly work shift and has only 4 hours or less between them. His usual commute is over an hour each way.

    Riding with Wayne is an experience everyone should have - ONCE. :eek:
    (Bring your own upholstery shampoo.)

    Incredibly nice guy, but a little scary for me.

    Hi Acorn..


    I believe that is a 2008 European Civic Diesel. Wayne wrote a report recently on the car on cleanmpg.com. Its possible it, or an americanized version will be imported in the US for the 2009 model year.


    Hi Evan,

    Wayne's commute is more like 80 miles. I know your making a joke and proabably know this, but some readers may not.
