Man, you had me confused. I haven't spent any time looking at the page of top tens. That's a great improvement, and you're right about the overall list serving the historical function.

Bring it on! I wasn't sure I was going to catch up to you as you keep crawling upward.

Already having some cooler weather around here( frost expected tonight), so things seem to be taking longer to get warmed up for good coasting. Don't think I'll be hitting 60 again this year, but there is always next year.

well texas is still in the mid to high 90's.so my average will stay around the 60 ish side. I hope that with in the next few weeks i get a good weekend to work on my lower grill block. looking to add one that opens and closes with a pull cable.

and again thinking that i get some cool weekends to do some mods. plus get them done before the "texas winter"

Texas winter, ha ha, I'm really laughing so hard
There should be a handicap system for us who have to deal with cold temps and snow!
No worries though, competition just improves our skill in driving and modding!

yea the whole 2 months that the lowest is mid to high 30's at night. no snow no ice. and when it does get actually ice over it sucks. no one down here knows how to drive in it and we dont have the equipment to battle it. Their idea around here is to put down sand. me I just stay at home its better to take a vacation day then to get on the roads with people that think they can still drive 75mph. Last year we had one day of ice and Houston recorded over 600 accidents.

dont worry we where laughing at you guys not to long ago when it was "so hot" up there.

Ty- Glad to see that you are weathering the traffic and construction well, POE wise.

'Train- Almost caught you on the MPG list. You are number 12 currently and I'm number 14(weeding out the chaff).

Texas winter...good one.

Jethro has a real winter up there in Vermont! He will probably take the biggest hit.
