    You should put a gas gauge in the dash, & leave it at 1/2. Then you could stay 1/2 tanked:D

    Very cool, I like it!

    That is the coolest bar I've ever seen! Now get a Nova more door rear seat for your couch or seating, then a Denali or Navigator windshield surround for an entertainment center, a '50's Chevy panel rear doors for an enclosed shelf or to house a fridge, front clip for a grille, you get the idea.
