I also have a 1993 Harley Davidson Dyna Low Rider that i bought new in 93 and i have finally got around to putting some miles on it after having it for 16 years.

Best vehicle I have ever bought!


My beater truck is a 1992 Toyota extended-cab 4x4 with 170K on the odometer.

Yeah, but how often could you stand to drive without the A/C on in Phoenix?

Then again, the AC is out right now on my Focus, so the 135 mile drive to Quincy Raceway last night for the big modified show was just a bit on the warm side.

Do you have studded tires on it for getting around after all those 10-12" snows you get up there in Cheeseland come January and February?

daily driver is a 2009 Ford Explorer with a V-6 = 17 MPG
weekend driver is 2004 Pontiac GTO = 20 MPG

Am i the only one who thinks it's odd the GTO gets better mileage? (not that I am complaining mind you)

2007 F-150 Supercrew 4 x 4. K & N intake helps me to get about 18 mpg. if I'm nice to it.

[ryoung99]

2000 Ford Excursion = 14 mpg
2003 Honda Insight = 60 mpg
2006 Lotus Exige = 25 mpg

Those at the choices each morning.... belive it or not the Insight is driven 90% of the time.

Generally,from October to May,the A/C isn't needed much.But the rest of the year,it pretty much runs all the time! But like they say,"If you can't stand the summer,you don't deserve the winter."

'99 Chevy Silverado Z-71 Ext. Cab. 112K Luv it!!!
Dunno the m.p.g. Don't wanna know.

Mrs. FB has a '97 Old Cutlass. Drove it 600 miles in the past 18 months.
Wants a new ride. Apparently because it would look better sitting
beside the house.

I am surprised it does also. Though my friends 2005 probably doesn't, but cam, exhaust and a 150 shot of nitrous kills any gas mpg. Dyno'd 396 motor only and 505 on the laughing gas. Runs upper 6's in the 1/8th and I forgot the 1/4.
