It's a manual 2001 Altima SE in Opal Blue. Currently it has about 129K miles on it as of Sept 2008. I got it on 11/10/2000. I love it even though it has lots of little dents and dings. I'm keepin' her till the wheels fall off. (Which at last replacement are Goodyear TripleTreds) I have also replaced the clutch once. My commute also changed over time, so I think the plunging MPG has to do with a hilly commute in the end before I sold the car. The previous commute was quite flat. I drive a mix of highway and city, but mostly highway miles when I commute. She's gone off now to Ghana. I hope she has a good time there.
