At least Whooooosh is a Ford guy. I like Ford trucks. That EcoBoost engine can tow 11,300lbs. That's bad ass. Why you'd want to turn your truck into some sort of monster truck with a lift and huge tires, if it only sees highway/city driving, is beyond me though.

After six weeks either in the hospital or motoring around in his electric wheelchair, one of the partners here finally got the OK to move to crutches yesterday. He crashed hard enough to break his hip and clavicle, and destroy his brand new Prevail. No concussion.
If it wasn't for that helmet, I'd have one less business partner. It might be anecdotal evidence, but once you have some, I can't see how someone would argue against wearing a helmet.
That's all I have on this topic.

Don't feel so bad about my race this past weekend. I just got home from the doctor. Sinus infection, bronchitis, if not better by Friday then get x-rays and blood work to make sure I don't have pneumonia. All considering I guess second place wasn't too bad. 
Short version..... I still feel like crap and I still like my Lexus.

BTW, it doesn't matter whether you're on the highway or in the city. But if you're running at 75mph in fourth gear West across rte 40 to Flagstaff, then it gets like 14 mpg.

Every car I've had with an mpg computer was always 1-4 mpg optimistic, but if the computer says 50 mpg that's 46-50mpg, which is friggin great.
Too bad diesel is so pricey.
