Made with power? What does that have to do with calling it an Excursion?

Happy weekend everyone! Going to cook some hamburgers, and have friends over. Anyone else doing anything special? Or just out of the ordinary?

Actually Joe, that "stove riser" is a good feature to make your burb run better. It lets hot air from the exhaust manifold heat and open the choke so that your truck doesn't run too rich. This time, the smog laws worked in your favor.

Yeah, I told him that already. He still wasn't happy. I wasn't happy with the price, $15! The last time I bought one it was only $5. Of course gas was under $2 a gallon then too.

Besides, that is what he gets for buying a burban anyway. Should have bought a Excursion, or Expedition.

Just like Joe to post, and then disappear. Although, right now he is either still enjoying Pismo, or he is on his way back.
