yea, the xl and suburban have larger tanks. Plus side is on my 99 2500 i could go like 10 days between fill ups. But it was 100 bucks to fill up even when gas was cheap. The yukon if im easy on her i can go about 6 days. If im not takeing it to work sites or towing, or used a rental truck. I travel about 500 miles in a 2 day period really just going from job site to job site, which can be, city, highway, a mix, dirt roads, sandy roads, or all of the above in one day. so 2 days then. Which is why im super excited for the 2500 as that will take towing and hauling and the messy parts, and my new one will be my non beater DD that i take to work when im just in the office, or takeing familys to see their houses.

So, my wife is out with the girls tonight and I got my daughter. So, shes watchin Dora the Explorer and I'm just readin the Tahoe forum for kicks. Normally, is kinda boring stuff but this is the funiest thread ever. If you get a chance read it from start to finish. You'll pee your pants. Oh by the way, I beat up on a focus today with my hoe! I think they gotta v4 in em.

Volkswagen / Porsche has always used a flat-4... the weird one is the W-8...

I've always preferred the 911 turbos especially the 993s

Thats kinda funny. I have some vehicles I never get tired of driving (like the yukon, only reason i traded was because of the great deal I got on this one, i honestly thought i would take the 06 to 500k, but im gunna do that in the 07) But then there are vehicles i get tired of in like a month. Like my jeep heap . :D

Totally understandable...Its like when the hoes dirty you dont stare as much but right after you wash her you cant take your eyes off of her.....All you can do is wear a big grin and thinking to yourself damn she looks good and shes all mine........

Nothing like falling in love with a HOE..........
