Hey Ya'll!

I'm sure everyone loves when someone with a big lifted truck joins a site about fuel mileage...

It's ok. I have a big truck because I live in a mountain town (Los Alamos, NM) ~7500 ft elevation. We can get a decent amount of snow, and I LOVE going out and wheeling in the woods. The truck has it's purpose.

Picture of the current truck (everyone loves pictures right?)


Tomorrow I am looking at a 97 Sentra SE-R. I know, not the most eco-friendly, but when you've had nothing but big V8 trucks (up to and including a 01 Ford Lightning 380 hp!) I can't go tooo slow, I'll go crazy! I figure the Sentra will be a nice compromise. Gets mid 20s stock. And get this, it needs a new front bumper, so making up a nice air dam (spoiler? whatever ya'll call it) won't be too bad.

Anywho, I stumbled across the site the other day and got hooked. I love people pushing things to the max. I find it amazing that people will go so far as to run w/o an alternator. I think I'm doing good when I slow down to 65 on the interstate.
