I looked at the Panda Build, very nicely done.

I'm getting ready to refresh fluids & filters on this thing now, since I don't know who last did anything on it. Some small cosmetic issues need to be corrected, but overall a fantastic vehicle. Tonight I pulled all error codes with Xentry, no issues.

Coming from a 2006 Sequoia which got ~15-17mpg highway, although on low octane.

This thing is awesome so far!
