Well we're leaving today! Everybody wish us luck and send a prayer to the OD gods for me!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Yes we were sir! I slept like a log!Good news! Bet you are tired.
Well the numbers are in, 2232 miles, 144.8 gals of diesel. That came out to 15.4 MPG! A lot higher than I was hoping for actually. Oh and the car was on a dolly, not flat tow. As far as performance Barrman, the flat ground wasn't too bad. It almost felt better under load, I know that sounds crazy but it did. Braking wasn't great, but I kept a huge buffer for that reason. Uphill, well like I said earlier I won't be doing a trip like this without a turbo again. It was definitely feeling a little underpowered. Probably didn't help that most of the time we were at a descent elevation, some of them were over 6000 ft above sea level. Would I do it again, only if I had to. Do I have a lot more respect for my truck? Absolutely!Great! Now that you're in Southern California you can go to

I wish I could be there, but I'm only in SOCAL for about a week. Then it's off to train with the Army and then Afghanistan!
