my old truck got kinda fast - 06/14/15 02:34 AM
my old orange truck was a money sucking gas pig and I got tired of feeding it so I sold it to a friend. he put a slightly more powerful engine in it. still street legal no cage or anything. pump gas, mufflers and street tires it went 10.68 at 123
hes pretty happy as its a daily driver.
trying to add a pic.

buying it back? not a chance. the new owner loves it. I love that I don't own it anymore

I'll bet its a real gas sucking pig now, only a lot faster (both in sucking gas and moving along) then before.
The concept of gas mileage is only of concern if it is important to you. If a guy wants to go fast, gas mileage isn't usually very important, on the other hand, if a guy wants to cruise around all day, gas mileage is more of a concern. Gene

I bet it gets the same mileage it used to get. my buddies blown 440 got better mileage. my blower car got better mileage. it was just a heavy pig that ate fuel.
and I don't have any problem with bad mileage on something that's fun. that was a slow turd that would barely spin a tire.
this got better mileage

A 78 reg cab shortie that runs 10's? That is officially my favourite truck in the entire world.
