New Member in Lincoln,CA

Hi...I am a new member. I got my Passion in June of 2008. Only have a 400 miles so far. Mileage seems less than expected...my first tank averaged only 28.7mpg...was expecting more, though it was primarily surface street driving not highway.

I've wanted one of these ever since seeing them in Paris, France so I'm excited about finally owning one

I'd live in Sun City Lincoln Hills and would like to connect with others here to start an owner's club. Please reply if your interested and live in this community.

That's it for now.

Welcome mrhummer3 - Sign up for the Aug 17 Lombard street Meet and Photo shoot. Would be a great first Meet and Greet with over 30 other smart owners and their cars!

If that's too big, Hot August Nights in Reno on the 9th. Post some pics!! I play the golf course at Lincoln Hills whenever I'm in Roseville!

Welcome mrhummer3. My inlaws live in Lincoln and we get up there at least twice a year. Nice area.

the Lombard Street event will be a great place to see a bunch.
I am going to the Reno Hot August Nights event, do a search and see the date and place. I am in Meadow Vista, between Auburn and Colfax.

I am getting around 42 when I go over Donner Summit to Reno, I am getting 46 when I go up 70 to Redding. you should be around there. Keep in mind, driving style dramatically effects MPG. be a little more patient and you can REALLY stretch it.
