powerwise stock I sure didn't run off from them

I figure now I run about 250 hp towing and maybe 270hp in 80e and that is all it will ever be
I get 18-20 on the interstate (unless I'm running 80 or 85), and I know my brother didn't get over 10 pulling. More like 8-9ish, and that was just large boats, nothing over 10k, that I recall (he delivered boats for a company up in Cape Coral). And stock, you won't pull away from much, but you would towing heavy up a hill...

you get 18-20mpg because you have 3.73 gears,I have 4.10s so I can get a best of 17.5 mpg if I stay about 2150 rpm.I can get about 18.5 if I stay below 1900 rpm

OK I'll be the first to admit, I was expecting a much worse picture.

I was expecting like spread eagle...and missing teeth and stuff.

I'm just not sure why she would chose to send such an unflattering picture. Or, maybe it is flattering.

Jim, I sent it to Lee, Tristan, Lisa, Scott, Joe and Brent.....

I am with Lisa, why the hell did she send THAT shot...... If I looked like that I wouldn't be sending ANY pictures out without my clothes on, that is just wrong.

Jim, it seems to me that what she was offering were her "services" and that the picture was a preview of what you'd be getting.

I could be wrong though.

Its too bad that those types of pictures don't give me a discount on your washer and dryer. I was gonna try and get me a free washer and dryer!!

All joking aside, its pretty sad people are willing to sell themselves like that for an appliance! Talk about having no self respect.
