Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

I'm guessing that 11mpg in the Escalade isn't with a light foot either.

 

I would routinely get 12-13 in my Cadillac in town, have a heavy foot though.  

It is so lethargic my foot isn't that happy yet.  I do shift near redline A LOT

I get 22 mpg in my '14 Silverado crew z71. Even better at 55mph.

We have high mph highways here.

Escalade to the farm at 80 got 15 or so in decent weather until lowered.  Last time I went up it was 17.5

 

Using the in car computer calculation though which I have never verified.  Around town 11 something is my average on 1000+ miles.

Is it ok to purchase a BMW with no M badge?

Is that really ok?

I'd take the M badge off so if it is already done sweet.

You should see the mechanics swoon over my truck at the Cadillac dealership.  Guess I know what to do if I need help with something.

And I actually seriously am enjoying the truck.  Needs power and a stereo, but the monitor finally shipped from Malaysia today so that will actually happen at some point.

Lots of things piss me off about it, but they are reasonably cost effective to change.

Steering wheel is one of them.  So pickup.  Dash another, but that'll go first :)

This little whip was not on my radar, but it rated as one of the most fun vehicles I have EVER driven.

I thought I would have buyers remorse.

The only thing I'm upset about is the fact I have to change a headlight in the wifes car tonight and then teach the roomate how to drive a manual for the brand new Focus ST he grabbed.

The roommates car is WAY sportier, but what I got would probably pulled the doors off it.
