I just can't seam to drive any good on gas cars, wife's car is a v-12 Benz and the way I drive that one it gets me about the same as your big beast. Daughters car is a modified mustang GT, better mileage but not even close to your Honda.

Yeah, we drove the Ex there, no garages are tall enough to park in lol. Next time we parked outside the city and took a train in.

What did I do to the Excursion today? I used it to win against a typical Houston rush-hour driver that didn't check before changing lanes....
Rig has zero permanent damage, there's a pinstripe rub mark from the Malibu's side mirror before the rear flare on the Ex took it off. Going to rub it off this weekend and you'd never know. It's so thin the camera wouldn't pick it up.
The Malibu on the other hand lost the driver side mirror, dented the driver's door, pushed in the rear door, and my tires provided the color change. I barely felt the impact.. I love my Excursion.

That really sucks! Sounds like you need a lift so those little cars cant reach your mirrors, I just have to worry about other lifted trucks with big wide tow mirrors whacking my big wide tow mirrors!

I have a 4" and 35's,.... I took off HIS side mirror with the bottom edge of my fender flare. Also found some of his white paint on the right rear wheel center cap. No big deal, it flaked right off. The pinstripe left by his side mirror started to come off easily, so it'll be good as new this weekend after some elbow grease.

Well, i fired the Ex up tonight to go dump the grey and black tanks in the travel trailer. Then i emptied the hot water heater and water tank, next will be to add some RV antifreeze. Since its getting into the 20's at night and they are talking possible snow this weekend it was time.
I obviously was not the only one to think of it tonight...there was a line at the gas station dump site.
Ex ran great, I need to put some miles on it!
The temp at 8pm

Aww... No furious fap fest?! Lol. Yes, I can see now I worded that poorly but I'll leave it as is for posterity.
I love driving the Chevelle, but I have a hard time taking it on the freeway. It's a big car but it still feels small. That and it doesn't have a horn, not that it matters since the truck horn works like a champ and it didn't slow that Malibu down at all. Not even a hesitation.

I love running my Chevelles on the Interstate too. For some reason I can't help but hammer down. Sort of like trying to restrain one self from rolling coal on an entrance ramp in the Ex.

Or like trying to restrain oneself from rolling coal a bit when that convertible BMW is tailgating you in rush hour traffic? Not that I would ever goose it a bit when someone thinks they can try and push me around.

No need to goose it, just lug the turbo under load and the coal shall roll forth. Especially in the higher tunes, good Lord. One reason I'm saving to swap tuners, I don't like dumping smoke all over innocent drivers when I'm just trying to get a little speed up and gently lean on it... Even the Eco tune will smoke at 60, 65 and a gentle lean to pick up some lost speed.
