    Ugh, unfortunately I can. Doesn't feel like it but so much has happened that I believe it. Hopefully I can meet up with some of you guys this summer. For sure Monte and yourself. Just a short drive away from you two.

    Why? I still enjoy DD igor a lot. Took him yesterday after it snowed a foot. The ATMs on the single cab though are a great tire im finding in the ice and snow.

    mm no i don't think i can still relate. I wouldn't DD Frank for 2 big reasons...1) Loud and in some ways uncomfortable that wouldn't be fun on the highway 2) I wouldn't want to put on silly miles on 35'' tires. and i guess 3) terrible gas mileage and takes 91 octane..so just doesn't make sense to me financially to ever DD him. But im sure once he is back on his feet i'll drive him occasionally just for fun which i guess is what you mean.

    But i love daily driving either igor or the new truck. The new truck feels perky and agile(i know that is a hilarious thing to say about a truck..but compared to where im coming from it is) and Igor is relaxing and smooth. And all of them are the same but very different haha

    I need the 4wd to bust through deep snow too often and am glad i didn't end up with a subie or some awd car. Plus now Devin can take Igor to Billings when it dumps down and i can take the mini taco.

    Well that's a solid argument.

    I always enjoyed DDing my truck aroudn town, but was annoyingly uncomfortable on the highway. Hoping the sound deadening and Sparco improve it.

    I could definitely go for nicer seats. But really my commute is only 30 minutes and pretty chill as it is. So I don't mind that much right now. goes by fast a lot of the time.

    My right ass cheek has swollen to about 100% bigger, and I’m taking a day and a half off work to let the swelling go down hopefully.

    I have no idea how to sit around all day with an ice pack on my ass and do nothing. I’m going l die from lack of activity

    I think you need a used motorbike. Cheaper than an orange Taco, fun to DD. Esp. this year since it's so dry for you. Just sayin.

    The Harley and my cruiser keep me pretty satisfied but for some reason I still find excuses to pull the shitmobile out of the garage just to putt around town. Yeah it's loud from engine mounts and exhaust, yeah it is super unsafe, but it is fun to drive haha. For my 5min commute I could get away with anything as a DD right now, but I even still drive the truck for lunch and stuff just because haha, gets better gas mileage than my cruiser still somehow too.

    OUCH! didn't break anything?

    I thought of that for like a day. Dual sport or something. But..id be scared id hit a deer haha

    Im sure Ben has plenty of traffic that makes it unappealing. Though I guess you do as well..

    Ah gotcha. Yeah having the rig ready to go at all times will be nice again. Haven't dont that in a while.

    Your truck is not as loud as mine lol half the interior is gone and its boosted. Blower is pretty loud actually. But yours does seem to drink almost as much fuel...kind odd that one.

    New truck is great. I'd like to add a few things to it(CC and AC at some point mostly) but otherwise, not gonna change a thing for a long time. Its fun as is.

    I can't wait to redo my interior. I have to put in ear plugs after more then 4-5 hours in Igor and i put in ear plugs in Frank within an hour half the time. The reg cab is loud too but that i think is due to the rear window being right behind my head. Its not that bad though.

    But at Ben's height the only thing he could flat foot would be a grom and that's so tiny no one would see him or hear him haha

    300cc sport bike would be short enough. Gets 65mpg in town, costs less than 2500 used. Insurance is like 15 bucks a month.

    Yeah, you definitely have to be hyper-aware of your surroundings, and it helps to be a "slow" driver (like me) so you aren't doing stupid stuff, like splitting lanes. I also made sure to get a bike that I couldn't easily wheelie; cause that would just cause temptation.

    Traffic isn't too bad if you're really aware. And carpool lane is really nice when everyone else is stopped. Deer - that's something I don't have to worry about, luckily.
