My EX is getting a little bit of a daily workout lately. We had some staffing issues in one of our retail locations and it looks like I will be open to close for the next couple weeks (76hr weeks) while I restaff the store. The main part that sucks is it is a 50 mile hike one way. I just have to look at it like it gets me closer to my million mile goal faster.

35-50 miles ONE WAY for me everyday for me going to work. I too rack up the miles, but my 6.0 loves it and never complains.

That Ranch Hand on the front is definitely Texas Truck and SUV Jewelry and Trig's in the background makes me homesick for my summer venue, North Woods of Wisconsin, I have not forgotten that I still owe you one of those Low Mileage Excursions from the South.




From the South, Currently 80K miles

Best donuts are at the place in the pic in the background. Some times I take a golf cart over there.

Starbucks is only a block away too.

I get about 5 - 6 mpg in city idling, NYC sucks.

Put the Bilstein 158848 steering damper on. Too bad everything can't be as easy as that.

No, not yet. The search continues.

Conveniently inherited a 2010 Cehvy Cobablt with 41k miles on it from my great uncle, so I have that until I find a truck I like. And then that will save me heaps on gas as well after buying the 6.8.

Thanks,

Nate

Took my son up to Funspot for his Birthday. Of course it rained on my freshly washed and waxed Excursion.




Yesterday I ran some stuff to the 'dump'. Had to check out a guys car that works for my town..... 67 440/ 4spd, 72,000 original mile slabside from Ga. He bought it from the original owner (!!!!!). Very cool.
