I let my daughters use my car to go to Cleveland for a Concert, a 365-mile round trip. Ionly request was for themto record the mileage on the gas slip when they got gas and I would pay for the fuel. Well... I got in the car this morning and the Avg MPG was at 21.1, and the manual calculation came to 21.4.

So it is official... My car is capable of getting decent gas mileage, just not with me.[&o]... It must be the short distances I drive (7-miles or less)-- because I tried the granny crawl for a week to see and that didn't work. So... I need to find a job on the other side of town so I get better gas mileage...(NOT!)

 

 

I trust my daughters fully, so I knew they would treat the car well, and the folks at OnStar took excellent care of them as the Mapquest directions I gave them, lead them into shutdown roads -- due to construction. The OnStar folks guided them around the closed roads.

My legal action will probably take place after the 1st of the year...

Detroit'srep has never bothered me...I don't live in the city or even near it for that matter (35-miles east of me). But when I go out of state and people ask where are you from and you say, Detroit... the look on their face is like you just shot someone... I personally feel more in danager when I am in New York, Miami or LA than I do in Detroit.

 

you from Detroit? Which street gang were you in? LOL

 

The Greasers... In my day there was the Greasers and the Frats... When I was in High School that splintered into the Jocks, Burn Outs, Povs, and Richies. I was in a Rock Band so I hungout with some of the burn outs, but played on the Football team so I hungout with some of the jocks, and my family was not poverty level, but we were not rich either. So, I was classified as burnouted jock (lol) By the way... NEVER took drugs EVER (my bother died from drugs - great lesson on what not to do)

My eldest daughter (from my first marriage - shotgun wedding at 18, that lasted 2-years), was in the Latin Counts at 15 before I stepped in and she came and lived with me for a couple years. My ex-wife lived on the Detroit Borderline (literally - her house was in Redford, and her garage was in Detroit)

 

well i was just kidding... you didn't have to share it all, but thanks anyway

its a little joke, i always ask people from chicago, detroit, NYC, and miami what streetgang they were/are in.

 

Better watch out. As the baby boomers get even older the notorious street gang Geezers grows larger and larger.

"We'll kick your @$$ for ya. You young whipper snapper."
