    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

    Best I've pulled is 26 with just a K&N and Magnaflow, average about 24, and I've never babied it through an entire tank, and get my best mileage with 89 octane.

    im lookin into s10's with the 4.3 or the 2.2

    or buying the car that im driving around that a good friend is letting me use while my truck is down

    i need something as a daily... an s10 scares me because i know what can be done to them... cars scare me because... its a car
