Thanks for the replies guys....yes I do have a Fit and I get high 30's and low 40's at times.....it is a great little car...a little underpowered when trying to pass and climb hills sometimes but if I time it right I can do it without getting killed lol
BUT I have never been able to get comfortable in it...I don't know what it is but if I ride for any amount of time I get a shooting pain in my right side....feel like I've been shot..well for lack of a better term in the butt
I'm deploying early next year and probably moving when I get back...so I was planning on a truck anyways...
I'm looking at a 2000 Silverado with the 5.3.....owner wants 8K for it...for a 11 year old New England truck it looks to be in pretty good shape...body is solid although pockets of rust are forming on the rocker panels under the doors...bubbles are forming and a little bit above one wheel well...no rot though
107K on it which is pretty low mileage....truck is pretty loaded up as well...z71 pkg..power seats, rear defroster looks like a new drive shaft as well?
The only real negative I can find is the rear bumper has a rust/rot spot on it and the appears to be some sort of gas leak perhaps...the bottom of the tanks has gas on it...I'm not sure if it is a leak....do the tanks have some sort of expansion valve that gas can vent if it need too? Nothing on ground under to indicate a steady leak...truck has been in same spot for a while too.
So bottom line and this is painful as it sounds lol..I want a truck and I want to lose car payment before I deploy. 100 miles a day commute almost all highway....we are a 2 Fit family right now
Arco- I do Rt 3 on a daily basis
