Default New Sled for Santa?

Saw a pewter Z71 truck on base today.. a couple of years old... but it had stickers on the back window of the canopy that spelled out...

WAHUSKER

Can it be that the GTO was traded for a truck? Will the supercharged stroker be going into a fastest truck contender? Who knows?!

That is probably one of the Washington Cornhusker club officers. They stole my AOL name a couple years back when I switched over to DSL. TOO funny Cory!!! But ya know, that blown stroker just might get a pick-up into contention with your Hummer. That would be a kick!!! I wonder if it would bolt into my Dakota.....

Trucks are the new hotrod platform. Everyone should start modding them now!

Sort of like the way Teal is the new Pink

Apprently the HP gods are pissed at the comment, too... LOL

Driving down the highway on the way to work this morning the Vette started gaining RPM's. In overdrive the RPM's went to about 4500 and it wasn't pulling. Shifted to third.... 5500 rpms and not pulling... Hit the flashers and coasted to the shoulder. At about 40 mph I shifted to second and it picked up again. So I drove on in second gear at about 45 mph. I guess I'll do the same on the way home
