Carve some for me.My weekend starts now...
Many years ago I did, gas this week is $1.90 where I am. I know I can get good mileage, but have more fun just driving it. When I was in my Mini, I'd hypermile. Saw a Meme that had a Jeep and said, your kids will never reflect back on the 37mpg days ... gotta have fun.So my plan for each vehicle I drive is this: Attempt to exceed the fuel economy estimates by reasonable calm driving. I do not resort to extreme hypermileing like some people do, and I also understand that yes, I do have a Jeep, its not going to give me high numbers.
My Ram 1500 was averaging around 15-16 in my daily drive here. The Jeep does 20-22. I am very happy with that increase, but it doesn't come close to the 38-42 that the Accord can do, or the 50+ the Yamaha does.
Snowboarding or ski? RACarve some for me.
Nobody ever said driving efficiency is anti-fun though. First and foremost, my Jeep is a means of transportation. It was the same with my Ram, My Dakota and both Mustangs. During my normal commute to work I tend to drive for good mileage. When I am out to have fun... well I have fun. The Hemi can really slam you into the back of the seat, and the Mustangs were a blast to open up the throttle in as well. My Jeep tears through the mud far easier than I had thought she could too.Many years ago I did, gas this week is $1.90 where I am. I know I can get good mileage, but have more fun just driving it.

Get your mind out of the gutter, RA. I'm sure there was no innuendo in Billy's goodbye message.

'67 Mustang.I grew up skiing Colorado with a '74 Camaro - no chains, no snow tires. Nothing but All Seasons and a feel for how the thing would behave. I doubt I'd be so comfortable now, tho!

The husband suspected his wife couldn't hear as well as she used to, so he called the doctor to get some advise.
The doctor said to try a simple test, stand around 40 feet away from her, and say something to her in a normal tone, if you don't get a response, go to 30 feet and try again, then to 20, then closer, till you get a response from her.
Later that day, the wife was in the kitchen fixin' supper, he being in the den, thought that was around 40 feet, so he said, "Hey honey, whats for supper?"
Got no response, so he tried again at 30 feet, still no response, tried at 20, then at 10 feet, still no response. So then he walked right up behind her, and asked again whats for supper, & she said "For the fifth time, it's chicken!"
No helmet, and wearing nothing short of pajamas...That’s super efficient.
Also a good way to die.

Physio appt this afternoon. My physio knows my knee better than anyone, so I’m seeing her to get an opinion whether I need to go to the doc and get imaging done.
Good! wanted to make sure life wasn't passing you by ... heheh I get the point. Now, when I drive my wife's truck, all bets are off!Nobody ever said driving efficiency is anti-fun though.
