There was nothing wrong with my baby when I let her go. She even had a set of brand new tires on her.

LOL! At this rate, my OEM Bridgestones will be the first to fall off the car in replacement of a new set of tires.

Fun Fun Fun ....ah good ole' days

I think it started when I got the car from the dealership with only 4 miles on it.... when I got home had put roughly 95miles on it (even though the dealership was only 5 miles away ).

Im new here and havent posted but i couldnt resist this one.

I was jsut now out driving for no reason what-so-ever just driving because its fun. I have an Escalade also sittin on 22's blinged out (which im starting to really hate btw) and it just sucks to drive this car has brought alot of enjoyment back to driving down the street for me.

On the bad note while i was out driving for no reason i dodged to miss a dead possum and hit a pothole now im about to go back outside and put my spare on.....

93? We only get 91 octane thanks to CARB. It was 92 a year and a half ago. I paid $2.33/gal at Chevron this morning. $36 bucks for about 15 gals.

Well, At least you can still get Chevron with the Techroline....one of the best gas additives on the market. I use it myself. Mobil used to have the most concentrated detergent package but since Exxon bought them out you don't really know what you're getting. Amoco was also a high-quality gas...they were refining no-lead gas back in the 60's, long before the catalytic converters mandated it.
And pardon me........because I know you're a Californian.......but I have a low opinion of CARB. Not only has CARB given the state some of the most expensive gas in the country, but also idiotic rules like the mandate of certain-percentage electric car sales that it turned out very few people wanted....even in the warm dry climate there that is ideal for their use. They finally had to retract it, faced with the realties of the market. That story was covered very well back East here....especialy the decline of the GM Impact.
