Added this Chevy to the fleet.



Certainly didn't look like this when I picked her up. Gave her a good detail, had a full service done, added new headlights/parking lights/tail lights (all NIB OEM) and upgraded the wheels.

Now that's a truck. Are you going to pull stumps out with that?

It had been sitting for years. Dead as a doornail. Jumped it, and went straight to the Chevrolet dealership where they installed two new batteries. Not a single hiccup on the three-hour ride home.

Not yet. I will be testing it out this weekend when I have guests over and spending time out on the patio.
Reviews were positive on Lowes, which is where I bought it.
What I like is that it is odorless to humans. And won't effect beneficial insects like most pest control devices do.

My favorite vehicle I ever owned (see my profile pic) was my 2004 3/4 ton Dodge. Should have never sold it. That Cummins 600 was amazing.

Congrats on yours. You'll love it.

Mine (2006 5.9L I-6 Cummins) gets the same mileage on my 21 mile daily commute as my 1.8T 4-banger. I daily drove the Cummins for 10 years before my i3 came along. Can't beat that 610 foot-pounds of air conditioning on a hot day. We won't talk about the total lack of heat on a cold day, though.....

That's pretty horrible for a vespa. Maybe the pink racing stripes are too heavy.

Yeah maybe I'll ditch the stripes and get the dangling truck nutsacks to dangle off the rear fender.

Pretty sure that's broken cuz I'm 55 on the streets and 85 freeway usually lol.

But where I live, I can bypass the freeways. Except when I go to OC, no choice unless I want to take the scenic route and 2+ hours to go 40 miles.

Thank you for the support. I appreciate it.

If only y'all knew how I drove most of the time. This is great though, if I ever get pulled over I'm just going to point at the 18.1 mph average.

Will have to totally cover the 9.9mpg however. or maybe not. Lemme ask Sedan in the Ask a Cop thread. "Will you have sympathy if you noticed the average fuel consumption is in the single digits?"
