I am the safest driver on the road. I-follow-speed-limit-in-construction-zone-and-gets-the-finger type of safe. Just like to make sure that I got enough power to run away in case of a zombie apocalypse and i can park better than most of the cars I see in parking lot. I know what the lines are for which many struggles to understand

And your truck looks fantastic (given its age). And the 2nd picture is car p**n.

Glad to hear you've got your new driving skills tuned dude
Too many new drivers think they know it all and scare the rest of us
Just try to not hold up traffic there 'mr safe guy'

The pic of the truck is not mine, but gives you an idea of what my monster looks like

Bah, it's not worth looking at right now

I'd have to scan pics from when I started the bodywork, but the idea is it's a rustbucket
The front end is all nice paint, and the rest is just garbage
Thanks for asking though ....

I'm just glad to have my hotrod back

Yup nothing like lots of power. I just recently traded my truck in for a new one. But wow the gas gauge moves as fast as the speedometer. All the power has actually made me slow down cuz I'm tired of going to the gas station.

my car just went from 280hp to 150 hp in 15 minutes , wastegate actuator blew up so I had to bypass the turbo , sad. Makes me appreciate how fast it was , and how slow shipping can be. Is gas mileage still a thing? Lets see over the winter a few times I burned 10 gallons and drove 50 miles in that time , is that good gas mileage ?
