New daily drivers

My wife and I had a very busy weekend to say the least.

First on Friday she went from her '07 Tahoe to this '08 Caddy:

Then on Saturday I went from my '07 Chevy 2500 to this '09 GMC 2500:

Now I need to get my mileage up from 11mpg.

Thanks, I will quickly be looking for exhaust and tuner to make up for it.

With the Caddy, I tried to talk my wife into a Maggie but she threatened me and told me not to touch her truck.

Same job and it's alright. I have also taken some advice from members and started hustling products on the side for extra change.

The Cadillac was upper 30's with 50k on it. No reason to buy her new, she doesn't keep th long enough.

I have plans for CAI, tuner and exhaust just to help out but not much else since I put approx. 5,000 miles per month on it.
