Actually I'm still flip-flopping on driving the truck too. 10 mpg just isn't the greatest for that long of a trip. So, it will either be the truck or a dark green Acura TL. Either way, I should be the only vehicle there with Montana tags!

Yea it's to the point anymore where a guy can't even afford to drive to work let alone go somewhere and enjoy themselves for a while, or maybe that's the fact that I am unemployed with 6 kids?

Well there isn't much flip flopping on my choice, I will be driving the dark green 2000 F250 deseil, other choices are the bronco which gets about 14mpg, and rides rough, or the race truck and even if it was running I doubt I could make it from gas station to gas station

I'd sure like to see you drive that race truck though. 1) I want to see it in person 2) It'd be easy to find 3) That'd be cool.

Cool isn't the word for it down right cold is more like it, I would probably be warmer on a bike, with no rear window, no heater, and no interior, plus I would probably be deaf by the time I got there. but spotting me wouldn't be hard you could hear me when I came off of I 80 in Iowa City

Yea that'd be a cold ride. I move from up here back down to Waterloo years ago. Middle of Jan came up here to pick up a car foubd out it had frozen so I drove it anyway. Heater core was split so the only way to keep the winsheild from fogging was to drive with the windows all the way down. Top it all of I had no license at the time and had the trunk patially open with a big box of stuff I shouldn't have had but the law would have loved to have found.

Glad I'm not 18-19 anymore.
