Ok so what's happening this friday?
I know David's in socal, but Dick and I either hate our families or lost them in a tragic gasoline fight accident, not sure which.
So who's down for meeting somewhere this friday? Dick and I want to catch Hitman.
It'll be awesome.

I will be in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. I'll be the only 8 up there. Lots of curvy mountain roads that I have a blast driving. Have to be careful driving at night since there are no streetlights and guardrails.

Im thinking road trip to vegas. Probably rent a car or something. If that falls through, then im going to bang my bitches then take the bike for long *** ride down to Big Sur. Anyone want to follow in their 8? Leo? Dick?
12 hours to vegas with gas prices the way they are, we'll have no money left to gamble!
Have fun at the meet you guys, I'll be busing i down tomorrow and back on Monday. Damn im still home today, feeling like crap. HAHA, i always wanted to take off these days before the holidays, too bad i have the stomach flu.

If someone wants economy and utility, they'll stick with a Mazda3 or another hatchback. If they want an SUV for higher ride height and more cargo room, they'll get a RAV4 or even the Jeep Liberty. Trying to be all things to all people, the Compass ends up not winning over any segment.

That much full throttle also kills your fuel mileage. Despite a 23 city/26 highway EPA rating, we average 19.5 mpg during our week with the Compass.
