Default My weekend north

Ok yall so I took a little trip to the U.P. eh. Well I had a great time up there even though it was a short trip. I left Friday mornin and came back yesterday. But one thing I was amazed with is I only used 3/4 tank to get there and 3/4 tank to get home. That to me is pretty damn good mileage. It is 435 miles to my moms in the U.P. took me 7.5 hours to get there. Took me alot longer to get home but that is because my wife and I stopped off to do some shopping at a couple different places.

Oh well there is my story.

Thought so too, especially with my truck having 146,500 miles on it. Now I have 147,3?? on it. Plus I need to do the pm's to it. Oil change, fuel filter, that stuff.
