Mine would be the Farm. Things are always coming up at the worst times. I have try but can not tell a ewe when to lamb or a coyote when to get into a pasture they are just obstinate.
Okay I am confused What are the round pieces sticking out from the frame? Are you going for a not finished car and these are going to be the cleco fasteners? Sorry sometimes I can be a bet slow.
My wife drives a 2006 Civic and she also has been upset by the mileage it gets. It is the SI and was said to get 40 miles a gallon the best she gets is 34. It has been a good car she has over 200,000 on it with no problems.
