Just got back from helping my sister and her husband check out another car. Looks like they're gonna buy this one.

You should have sold them yours!

What family doesn't need a buggy? Or a work truck?

 

[Suprtek]

Now I just need someone to buy one or both of the vehicles I have for sale.

Nah, they need a car for commuting that will get better mileage than my old truck. The buggy gets good mileage but those winter commutes can be a little rough.

What kinda mileage does the buggy get? And I know it's street legal, but how about the interstates?

Man, now I killed it!

I brought almost an entire papa johns pizza to have some for dinner.. Walking in the door, I dropped the entire box.

Sara's mom got me a new shirt. I like it a lot. Fits well and is yellow. I look good in yellow, it contrasts with my skin, eyes and hair.

Sorry about that. I got busy. I've never really tracked the exact mileage in the buggy but I know its over 30 and maybe even higher because its so light. It is 100% highway legal but I personally wouldn't recommend it. The handling is fine at those speeds but its extremely loud and windy. Also the VW bus trans-axle that it has is geared low for off road. You really have to wind it up tight to hit 70mph. They make aftermarket trans-axles with different gearing but they're pretty pricey. If the current trans-axle had an extra gear that was an overdrive, I'd bet it would get well over 40mpg highway.

Gotta get something for dinner and then get the yard mowed. Been gone since yesterday morning and the worthless Cat's didn't mow the yard like I told them too.
