grumpin Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Merry Christmas! I have first-turn starts most of the time, am crowding 12 MPG, and the steering is pretty good. Guess I'm "there"! Seriously though, I hope all of you have a wonderful time, even if you can't be with family. (We are celebrating via Zoom today.) Merry Christmas! Starts good, tach works, drives straight, but I didn’t realize MPG came in two numbers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kramttocs Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 ... I didn’t realize MPG came in two numbers! I asked for that for Christmas. Daughter asked for a unicorn. She is out riding now... Guess Santa can only do so much. Hope everyone is having a great day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth always got right at 10 with the C6 except when towing the 5th wheel. He has gotten as high as 12.5 running 70 on I-70 going to my son's house in WV from the Eastern Shore. On a Christmas note, here are some pictures, first Darth a number of years ago set up for towing a float in the Hampton VA Holly Days parade: Then some items wife got for me for Christmas: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArdWrknTrk Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I'm with Scott - what are they? I've seen plenty of cars with caribou antlers but never a pair as massive as that! Well done, Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes my attempt at humor. I mostly drive around town, not much highway driving. It was around 7 when I quit checking. Worse running around in snow and ice in town! I have to make the occasional 500 mile round trip, may take the truck one time for giggles. Edit: Darth looks good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

85lebaront2 Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 I've seen plenty of cars with caribou antlers but never a pair as massive as that! Well done, Bill. I actually didn't do it, couple across the street in Newport News had a daughter a month older than my granddaughter. She was a member of a cheer squad and they wanted to do a float for the parade. He borrowed a low boy from his landlord and then realized he had nothing to pull it with. He borrowed Darth, borrowed a pintle hook from a friend of mine who owns a trailer and equipment company. He took my 5th wheel air deflector apart and mounted the antlers to the frame. A borrowed (from his landlord) generator in Darth's bed ran the lights and a turntable on the float. Their son rode in the back seat and someone older rode in the bed to tend the generator. The sign on the bumper was the name of the cheering squad. They were unit #60 and took first prize.
