Don’t forget that time they’ll put some mulch in it! Or more likely 1000 pounds worth of human on their way from the office to get lunch.

Fair point. I’ve always been a fan of that trim package. Personally I’ll be holding out for the Texas Edition upgrade to the King Ranch Longhorn Limited Platinum High Country with available Megacab.

Gotta plant my flag when I can I guess..

I get you wanted some Donk this morning....but why not this?

But will it handle mall duty and a once yearly trip to Home Depot?

I wasn’t expecting such a massive engine to get good gas mileage, but after looking at fuelly and other places it seems quite bad. Do you have any firm numbers on it? I’m not finding much. Either way, the American Armada with the VK56VD probably won’t be breaking 15 mpg. I guess my point is I would welcome more engine…

While I agree with all of this, I would trade the decals for the TB48DE...

My friend and I stick to the basics; two bags of grass, 75 pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a saltshaker half-full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... Also, a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether, and two…

See? You could have just said that. And I would have had one response; “mmmmm, I’ll take two”.

What a bad take.

Maybe the engine block was just in the pool?

That is one glorious Turbo that engine is attached to.

Sudden? Not sure where you got that idea from, but I get the feeling you haven’t been paying attention. It’s gotten more attention in the last 2-4 years, but it’s been a mess for a lot of the current decade.

No. Rainey Street is already gone. It was a residential area that has now been replaced by bars.

Yeah, that’s what I always hear now. Which makes sense, because Austin High is terrible at football and Westlake and Lake Travis are some of the best in the State/Nation. We were the same way, Lake Travis was still small when I went to school, however my class (‘08) did manage to beat Westlake the only 2 times it’s…

That is pretty perfect.

If you’re going to Rainey St on a Friday or Saturday night, or ever, you’ve already fucked up.

As much as I like shit talking Houston, I could never sarcastically say it has crappy food.

For real. I’m immensely grateful to live in South Austin (real Austin) and commute about 4 miles away from my place. However every time I get out of my bubble and realize how bad traffic is getting I just about lose it.
