Post Pictures Of Your Trucks

I only passed to State troopers at that speed and they did not look twice at me! I had it to 20.2 when I looked at it the first time and started up a hill so I thought that I better get a picture or no one would belive me. Over the life of this truck the Ave. number is a tenth or so lower that what I get when I hand figure it. I know here in a couple of weeks I will be showing you some really low numbers. I am going to get the sail and when it was empty I only got 8.8 mpg and it will be loaded this time!! :jester:

 

 

Nice, anything over 15 mpg is a fantasy for me. On the way to GA a couple weeks ago I passed 6 FHP doing 80, thankfully they didn't seem to have any interest in me. Still jealous of that 20 mpg lol :(

80 is pretty much legal here, I've never heard of anyone getting stopped doing 80. I used to only drive 70, because any faster my mileage would drop like a rock. But with the Coopers I can drive 75-80 and still pull down 18 mpg. Don't listen when people say 10 ply tires will hurt your mileage. :)

I am unwilling to make it a matter of record how fast I tend to drive on the very lightly patrolled Michigan highways. :lol:

You guys need to see some of the speeds in Phoenix!!! Speed limit on the 17 is 65 and at 80 it was like I was up on bricks!! I just set the cruise at 80 and let them cuss the guy with out of state tags. :jester:

Hard to hurt my mileage seeing as how the only way I can get 15mpg is doing 55. @ 70 I get about 13 if I'm lucky. I get just about as good mileage on back roads as I do on the highway.

Try Atlanta. 90-110 and still have the possibility of being passed.

in Maryland I travel rt. 95 and outsiders run the speed limit which is 55-65. So I run 85-90 and I'm sure they curse at me! Haha but have to make a 70mile one way commute fun somehow. Might as well fly! Haha

If you don't mind me asking Red, what's on the dry erase board next to the truck? Looks like a whole lotta somethin', I just can't tell what.

I write down my weights lbs and number of sets, pull-ups, push-ups, calories burned during cardio etc. Before I torn a rotator cuff (march 27) I was at 270 pushups in under 14 minutes. I was hoping the hit 300 in 15 minutes by July. I have another six weeks of rehab before I can start lifting again. At 55 I have to keep telling myself... I'm not 25 anymore :(

 

Old pic before the board filled up.
