        You got rid of the other truck?

        I did.

        It is pretty cool so far. Feels massive, even though it is not much bigger than my Sierra.

              I know which one you are talking about.  That video is awesome.

              The SVT supplement guide that came with the truck about offroading is hilarious....well, it's serious, but the fact it was in the glove box of a production truck is hilarious.

                    I'm averaging 12.8mpg right now.  I want to see if premium will bring it up at all.  It's a 6000lb truck with a 6.2L V-8.....I didn't think it would get good gas mileage.

                    I drive about 5.5 Miles to work, so I don't put a ton of miles on.

                              This car takes good photos. It's pretty solid mechanically but it's pretty rough around the edges. It needs a new exhaust, control arms, struts and other odds and ends. I just hope it has a LSD! I'm going to look at it and negotiate a price on Sunday.

                                      I guarantee the battery box is rotten on that car and that there are some good rotten bits underneath=) Nothing is too clean to be a beater anyways. Cars are cars
