I'll go vote now. I think your ticket price is inflated about 3x what it should be. Use the search function here: google.com

Boy I guess it's dangerous, if one needs more proof read this ...Mark

Yeah the 3.07 really helped the 3spd on the highway. I made it down with no problems. I averaged 18.95 MPG on the first tank, and don't know about the 2nd because we weren't able to top it off. truck sits with about 1/2 tank so 2.5 tanks to fla isn't bad at all.

Ditto..

Any pix from the road trip ?

Now don't go get yourself killed in a bar fight. Those FLA people are crazy about their bar fighting techniques.

Just got home, had a ton of fun!! It was definitely nice having someone to switch off driving with. Fuel mileage varied, anywhere between 17.7 - 23ish (but i cheated on my aerodynamics).

And sorry....no pictures

Thanks for all the comments and advise, the ol' truck didn't give me one problem :-D
