    Uh, no.

    However it does remind me of the time that my Suzuki Sidekick had to pull a Ford Excursion out of a ditch once.

    The specs on the motor say it’s suppose to get 15-20. I take the freeway to work every day (although it’s bumper to bumper during rush hour). My mileage should be better. I can switch to an F150 with a 5.4 and get better mileage.
    I have a 2005 Dakota 4x4 with the 4.7. I average 16.5 with a good mix of highway and city. Straight highway it's 18-19, straight city about 15. Many moons ago my Dad had off-road tires on it and it was getting closer to 12mpg, changing the tires to a more highway friendly tread certainly made a big difference.

    Like Timmy's experience, if my wife drives the truck it drops to 12 mpg really quickly. It's really all about aggressive acceleration, she doesn't speed much but she gets up to the speed limit, or 5 over, quickly. That is all it takes to drop the MPG a LOT.

    Most reliable car I've owned is a Lexus GS. Great car.

    I'm driving a Ford now, a Volvo S60R. More fun to drive than the Lexus but way less reliable. For a long time I wondered why my ass would catch on fire when the seat warmer was on, turns out the element migrated to the leather and was burning a hole through it. Now I've got this cigarette burn in my driver seat. The radio volume will randomly go up and down. The clock runs 59 minutes to the hour. The passenger window decoupled from the motor arm when the window froze to the seal so I don't use it.

    I used to be into cars in high school but don't see much of a benefit now. Tricking out or restoring a classic sounds like a cool hobby.

    It was my wife's car. When we got married, I bought her a minivan and drove the Suzuki for a while. It was actually a fun car to drive. Until I totaled it on my way to the airport one morning.

    Ok, settle down, Denzel.

    In Colorado? Nope.

    I've had this discussion multiple times. I'll just say I don't need a vehicle to prove my manhood. The Liberty is a fine automobile and I've NEVER been stuck.

    I have no idea why people don't give you a hard time about your soul, but that's another story.

    I've been waiting for it. But I wasn't making fun of you for the car in that post.

    My wife has a lead foot too. She’ll put you back in the seat to reach the speed limit. She has an 05 Pilot and only gets 14, does all of her driving around town
