Not today, but last night.

 

Went to church yesterday morning, ate lunch on Edwards AFB (with the family), then we went to Tehachapi to buy a twin bed frame for my daughter, then to Home Depot to buy a few things for our new house, and then went home via Tehachapi Willow Springs Rd.  Had some stupid kamikaze moron illegally pass us and the truck in front of us on a double yellow, blind curve, over a hill.  Said MORON almost ran into the oncoming car, but that person swerved off into the dirt, over corrected, and came straight into us.

The four of us are ok, I have a broken foot, #2/3/4 meditarpals.  Wife and kids are going in to be better examined than by the EMTs on the scene.  Wife has some swelling in her right hand, daughter has seatbelt bruising (mostly from the buckle), and son appears to be fine.  Wife/daughter were sitting on the right side, and son was behind me.

Looks like the truck held up well considering. Glad everyone was for the most part, able to walk away. Hope everyone recovered well. This is part of the reason I'm glad to be back in a truck.

Picked up my new truck a week ago.  I’m still on the mend, doc just recently (day before I got my truck) allowed me to start walking on it, and still hurts some around the break.

When it finally came in after 3 weeks on transport. I made the salesman prove it, you know how sneaky those guys can be. Also the first time I was able to purchase from a "big" dealer, they actually were 80% honest. I like my small town guy, but sometimes they just dont like to get in or dealer trade what I want.

Has a 6.2 and a bunch of other nonsense. Replacing a 15 with a 5.3. GM finally had enough rebates to justify stepping up.

That is correct. I remember them doubling teaming my dad one time, at a place called Ratigan. He almost walked out, very tense. I didnt have that problem. The guy simply gave me the options with zero sale pitch, I signed off declining, we then went back to a descent conversation. I was impressed to say the least.

It’s always nice to find good sales people, the person my girlfriend had last month when she bought her Cruze was awesome I called and said we where coming to look at cruzes so he had 2 base model Cruze one hatch back one sedan and said try them both if there is something else you want added we can figure out by going up in models.

Most dealers are like here’s the most expensive one, you should buy this...

    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
