I think I can see your fuel gauge moving towards empty in that photo

Kind of amazing that there's not really any difference in rolling 250k than there is rolling over 25k with these motors, huh?

Of course we can always use another reason to go fishin.

Excuses, excuses!

Congrats on the mileage. I hope to get over 300k easily, but I'm not quite half way there. At the rate I'm going, it'll be a long time. But, that's a good thing. Big Red will be around for a good while.
