You sold the car? Where the hell was I? lol.... Ah, man... Don't worry I am depressed for you. ha, ha.... Makes me glad I paid mine off now... What made ya change? Gas milage? I am getting about 21 to 24 mpg on the highway and about 14 to 16 in the city. With an equal combo of both I am almost getting 19mpg.

Good luck with the new truck. Put a turbo in it or something...

on a side note...going from a V8 to V4 is really depressing....i need to get back into a fast car soon or i might go crazy

That is a nice suv. I like the rims on it. Get a little project for yourself. I know I have a GXP but I am currently looking into a project car now. lol... Maybe an 80's Mustang, Camaro, or Firebird. Unsure right now...
