roller skates on the highway

Saturday, July 22, 2006

I saw one of these on the way home last night:

I felt like I could squish it under the tire of the Tahoe I was driving.

Hey, don’t criticize me… It was a $10 a day rental.  I’m not going to pass up the opportunity to drive a brand-spanking new ‘07 Tahoe with only NINE miles on its engine!!  It had about 190 miles on it when I was done with it.  :cheese:  And cost as much to fill it as it does our VUE… Of course, it was only about 10.5 gallons I had to put in…. there was still about 15 gallons left in the tank.  But you know, avoiding paying $4.00 a gallon for not filling it before returning it was the goal.

It’s a nice ride, but at about 18mpg, unless we worked closer to home, we’d be killing ourselves just trying to keep the tank filled in the thing.  And here I thought the 23mpg VUE was bad, eesh.

The reason for the rental is another story.  Trouble with the VUE again.
