free! the "kool kruise" that 98.9 magic does every year...well after the car show they head out to the track for a "run what you brung" deal. its free and you can run whatever you want as many times as you want. all you need is long pants/long sleeves and a helmet.

alright guys i have to say i'm feeling pretty guilty. the excursion has not been filled up since april! its sitting all clean in the driveway... but moneys been tight and with gas prices i've been driving my expedition(10-12mpg city VS 8-9mpg city) and my explorer (13-14mpg city) to help with costs.

at least this time around(unlike last summer) i dont have to even think about getting rid of her! that was a big mistake last summer. this time around i can just park it and drive one of the other trucks.

i miss driving the big girl though! anybody else feeling the pain? so i dont feel so guilty!

I feel where you're coming from. I am driving an 02 Escort, only using the X when needed, like this weekend going up north! The way I look at it, every mile I put on the Escort is that much less wear and tear on the X!
