Heh, 35.8mpg with a car full of stuff, gotta love contours.

I remember this summer I was headed home from a trip with my trunk stuffed and 4 other people in the car. It was certainly too much for my Koni's and my 18's rims. I rubbed at every little dip in the road and every time I shifted, haha.
 
Now who am I gonna go to the junkyard with? Eh guess I get to keep all the goodies I find now... :D

TGO, he moved because that's where his GF lives. He's gonna be down there for a bit then they're both moving back up north in a year or two. Or at least that's the plan to the best of my understanding...

Don't you worry buddy, i'll be taking a road trip next year. Probably gonna be between my spring and summer Co-op's. Bet the SVT doesn't get 35.8 mpg though... But, I won't be cruising at 60-65 either... :D
 
looks gorgeous (aside from the driver door booboo)

Good to see your move went smoothly with her too.

yea the previous owner had that door reskined and they did a bad job and now it is rusting but i did a little touch up but needs more work!

you sure your springs arent broken? it looks damn low in the back
no they are not.. i had my heavy tool box at the very end because if she broke down i wanted easy access, but i tyred to spreed out the rest of the weight evenly.

Cool! Good to have another tour in the state!

we will have to have a meet around here!!:laugh:
