I get some weird looks pulling into the crew lot, but I agree people are uneducated about many things. My truck has 500 hp, over 900Tq, and gets 19 MPG lifted on 35's.

Prius drivers generally hate on me. Diesel technology is the future, and the past.

However I am buying another truck. I can't afford to be stuck on the highway in NYC trying to get to work.

My next truck ...



People hate "rednecks" .. but it's pretty amazing what they can do with vehicles. In sport mode (it's been chipped) this will blow away most cars on the highway. In econo mode, it will get better gas mileage than them as well.

I agree, don't drive boring cars ... or trucks.

and there goes our airbus order. DISLIKE.



American Airlines orders 130 Airbus aircraft
November 23, 2011


American Airlines placed a $13 billion order for 130 Airbus A319 and A321 aircraft, which it will begin taking deliveries of in 2013, according to Tulsa World.

The lease transactions with Airbus are part of a massive fleet renewal plan that the company announced in July, and could include $38 billion worth of orders and options for 925 Airbus and Boeing aircraft over 14 years, according to an American executive.

Airbus and Boeing have agreed to $13 billion in financing for the first 230 aircraft delivered, the story said.

The off-balance sheet financing and the fuel efficiency of the new planes are significant because American is projected to spend more than $8 billion on aircraft fuel and post its fourth straight annual loss in 2011, the story said.

American plans to acquire 200 additional Boeing 737s, with options for another 100 737 variants.

The carrier will take delivery of 100 737NG (Next Generation) aircraft starting in 2013, including three 737-800s.

Is that how you regularly park the truck?

Nice looking truck! I just bought a CCSB myself but it's not a diesel. Are you on gmfullsize.com?

No, they will FedEx to your house for free now. Go look at the most recent Trim Tab, they explain it in there. Actually it is on the publications section too. All paper, and fedexed all for free. Used to be to your domicile and to your house for 15 bucks.

I think he is asking about the training discs. Those will also be sent direct to the house unless you've got a POB listed.

Try Super Shuttle @ 800 258-3826. Last time I used it the cost was $37. They run different routes so make sure you get on the right shuttle.

The cheaper option is a public bus which I have heard jump-seat riders mention that they intended to use, but I have no information on where/how to get it. You can probably google Los Angeles public bus routes or something like get to get a route map.

Happy Thanksgiving All!!!

Very easy, Buses leave I think around every 30 minutes going to Disneyland and Orange County Airport. I believe they give a discount for airline employees. You can ask in front of the terminal.
