Took me a second to figure if you were givin' me crap about Todd's weekend dealio or what. I'm like "we didn't do valve springs on his truck"
Did you help Gabe put together his truck? I'm assuming you did.. I just can't remember.

I woke up this morning almost regretting wearing a cut-off! But then I remember 2 years ago when it was 110* in the shade lol. I didn't complain once about the cool lol

On a side note, would I be shunned for buying a Chevy? Lol

I dunno, you're already the "El Camino Man" and no one has shunned you yet, I think...

LOL! I cant legitly say "I Bleed Blue" as my first car was an El Camino (still got that thing!). Nearly every vehicle afterwards was a Ford though lol.

For reference, the vehicle in question is a Cruze diesel. I was considering a Fiesta SFE (super fuel efficient) but man them things are ugly and tiny. And not diesel

As long as you promise to bring an OBS to RRE next year I won't shun you.
Aren't those Cruze diesels pretty new?

Ha...

I gotta admit that was pretty good!

And yea, the 2014s are the first year for the diesels. I want a focus diesel but Ford has zero plans to import them to the US. So Cruze it is!

I still haven't completely decided whether I 100% for sure want it. I'm pretty good at talking myself out of things believe it or not lol

For what it's worth, my brother's girlfriend bought a new Fiesta and she loves it. She didnt get the SFE with that sweet little 1 liter, 3 cylinder turbo in it, but she's really pleased with the little 4 banger. The other thj g you could look into if you r1eally want a diesel is a VW. They have been putting diesels in small cars for decades so you wouldn't have to buy something brand new if you didnt want to. A golf diesel would be a sweet little ride in my opinion.
