GPS says 675 miles and just under 10 hours

Add in fuel, food and traffic and you have 11-12 hours easy
excuses for going slow... :-*

The trip to Dimby seems to bend physics. No matter how fast or slow I go or what rout I take it takes me the same amount of time.

When I rode home on my old 675 I averaged above 100mph for the last 3 hours. It still took about 12 hours.

I don't understand.  I stopped asking questions about the time of dimby3.

I run 68-72mph when I truck to Dimby.

You run more than that going to MI don't you?

Not quite everything.



These were really fun to try and wholesale into Denver and Wyoming back in the day.  :P

I had a friend in college with one of those. Except it had been beat on by baseball size hail. Terrible car.

Took my first over 100 mile trip in the new to me Silverado 2500.  22 mpg!!  It was to the beach and back so very flat.  Makes me feel a little better about the 12mpg in town.

And thats on chunky 285s with my foot in it!  Truck came with intake and exhaust, just put a Hypertech Stage 2 tune on it.  Pulls like a banshee, whatever that means!
