Good morning all, I still like to know how many miles per gallon I get, I feel cheated using KM's especially now that a liter jumps up between 5 -10 cents each time when a gallon would never jump that high. But at least it's been sunny here the last 2 days.

I am a proud Canadian
but, it was late and I was to lazy to convert to kms.
Have a great day everyone, looks like it could be a nice day here.

I had a couple motorcycles from the States, it was always a little mind game to make sure I remembered that 100 was mph not km/h lol... It wasn't such an issue on the HD Road King as it couldn't get to 100mph, but the Hayabusa was a constant battle to keep anywhere near 65-70mph

Happy Mother's Day mornin'all. Jordan is playing rugby, He says don't worry dad it's not that bad. 1st game yesterday, he's a full back and looks it today with all the bruises. We have ball today at 2:30, if it doesn't rain. At work all we deal with are U.S. measurement's. Even our Canadian fuel bill's come in both gallon's, and litre's. You guy's treat your Mama's well today. Talk later, and have a great day.

That's funny eh? I do the same, always converting to mpg from L/100kms. A gallon would have to jump 30-40 cents to match our liter price jumps...could you imagine the holy war there would be?
Is your truck from across the border? I had a couple motorcycles from the States, it was always a little mind game to make sure I remembered that 100 was mph not km/h lol...

I`m still ticked at having to deal with the silly metric system.
Happy mother`s day to all the moms.
This sounds just like around here, there`s a lot to clean up after a long winter.
Keep an eye on Kijiji, that`s how I found my MF 35 less than 2 miles away.
Litres per 100 kms doesn`t mean a thing to me, I always convert too.
The Americans were too smart to get fooled into converting.

In Rural SK, everything is easier if told in miles. I was out in the country a few days back following directions given to me in kms. I converted to miles and found the place no problem.
I'm on the hunt for a IH Farmall "super A" tractor. I have a pic from 1987 with my older sister and I on the tractor with my great grampa. He passed away a couple years ago, but the beginning of sentiment has me wanting to preserve some memories... If anyone knows of one sitting around, in any condition, let me know...

Evening boys n girls 
Shut the sheds, closed up the cave, trailer locked n loaded. Great weekend!!
Off to a job in Oakbank tomorrow. Drywall, move a fan and tile floors.
Interesting start to the season, all indoor work and I primarily do exterior renos lol.
Wife tells me, If I can't be handsome, may as well be handy :P
Time to pour a glass of Pepsi, bowl of popcorn and enjoy a movie with Mumzi.
Have a great evening to all you guys pampering their mums!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!! Mine was spent doing more yard work. Woke up this morning thinking it was still the weekend
Wood tics are out, I'm not happy about that. Pulled a dozen off the kids and dogs so far, had a few on ourselves. Only good thing about them is having to check the missus over for tics Have a great Monday Boys and Girl!!

Too bad you didn't have video of out accelerating an Ecoboost. I have trouble believing it. I've had both an Ecoboost F150 and a '08 5.4L F150. There is no way a naturally aspirated 5.4L would out perform an Ecoboost if both drivers were trying.

If I still had it I would arise to the challenge. As for calling it a garbage boost... Don't knock it till you try it. Your 4:88 with 37" rubber isn't much different than factory diameter rubber with 3:73's... You've just compensated for the larger rubber and maybe a little bit more jump over stock.
I won't argue it further...
