    You are an incredibly odd individual Viper. :)

    I am not Canadian. I am from Virginia, Southern born and bred, but presently stuck in Jersey. I have had this device in my "Aliance owned" truck for over tripple your time bomb calculation, so I think you can relax, aliance trucks as well as everyone elses trucks will be safe.

    I am going to have to talk to ND about upping your meds.:crazy:

    when i read what viper said about you (maverick) being canadian, i shat my pants just a little in disbelief. with the problems that the canadian(s) are creating with the alliance, i was starting to doubt your true intentions as an alliance member. i do doubt, with all due respect, that you are actually a canadian spy. you just did this huge VPE test, and i havent found true scientific evidence that canadians can hide their stupidity under a simple veil. glad to know you're born and breed here mav

    I promise I'm not a troll. This is the last thread I'm posting this in but I wanted to get the request out to as many of you as possible.

    I'm trying to gather some specific data to really analyze the trends on gasmileage based on several factors (not just the VPE) and add to the report started by Mav and 007Taco. I'm hoping to get as many data points as possible so we can see some real trends and eliminate as many variables as possible. If you think you might be willing to track a tank or 2 check out this thread and help out.
    Thanks
    James

    Wow, how did that mistake get in there? Let me check something...I think I'm confusing you with The Master.

    Man I'm sorry, I don't know what I was thinking.

    Yeah that was a huge mistake. Just thinking one thing and writing another. :rolleyes:

    Confusing a Canuck with an Alliance brother is not cool.

    But 007 still hunted down a Ridgeline, in the wild, From an offramp. That could NOT have been easy! I was so impressed by that I can never say anything bad about 007 despite his Texas moniker.

    I'm very conflicted about things like this. ;)

    Wow, it took me a long time to get through the whole string. Thank you 007 and Mav. I am currently deployed with US Navy wondering around the deserts of Iraq. I surely wanted to get in to the group sales that you guys were intending to do. Hopefully someday when I set foot on mainland USA I would be able to install this and see for my self what the talk is all about. The only thing is I cannot install this until April or May 08. If I buy this, I understand that I have 90 days to figure out if I am satisfied with it or not. Is there any way (ECOTAZ) that we can work around this? Thank you again everybody. Ed

    You know what.. it is always nice to hear that we are being appreciated. So, thank you. Maybe ECOTAZ can show me some appreciation by giving me a discount. Just kidding.... It sucks that a gallon of gas here is only approx $1/gallon. I wish I can send some of it back home. That would surely help everybody. Ed

    Groundpounder,
    I truly appreciate your service to this country, I hava a son in the Air Force (nearly 15 years now) and a niece in the Navy (going on 7 years)
    and I appreciate everything you all do for us! America shines today because of the bravery of our special men and women in the armed forces.
    I can't thank you enough.
    As soon as you get bact to your Tacoma if you will e-mail me personally, ecotaz7@yahoo.com, with your request I will send you a Free ECO #2 with the installation kit for your
    truck. All I ask is that you come home safe and share your findings of the benefits of the ECO #2 with the members of this forum.
    Thanks,
    ECOTAZ

    You are thanking 007 and myself for putting some devices in our trucks and then driving them around. You've got that backwards my friend. It is we (and by we I mean everyone in this country) who are thankful for you, and the sacrifices you are making.

    Keep yourself safe, and again Thank You!!!!

    Thats a cool move ECOTAZ, nice to see people step up and help out our servicemen after everything they do for us. Thanks for doing that for him. And groundpounder, thanks for your service, it's much appreciated by everyone!
