I have to go to a Chevy dealer today to go cosign for a car for someone, while there I'll poke and prod the Duramax but like I said not really looking yet, just a thought for now. Hell, if I hit the lottery the old Wagoneer laying in the back of the garage would get reincarnated as a diesel and be modified to have a half bed in the back with a passthru like an Avalanche. Lottery would be needed though mainly because I don't have time for such endeavor with having a job.

How about a Sportsmobile? They are a sweet vehicle.

Don't know what you want to use the van for but you can always Expo with it  [thumbsup]
Why do roaches always die on their back?

That because the survivors flip them over to steal their sneakers and wallets.

I know all about Sportsmobile.  I regularly check their used page.  I would prefer to kit out a 4x4 cargo myself because I can do that over a number of years using cash which will allow me to set it up how I want and check out the lifestyle without the $60k initial investment (used). My biz is portable so with a satellite dish I can work from anywhere.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Well, when I buy one of these things I'll be driving it up to your neck of the woods at least twice a year.  I'll make sure to stop in and fill up!

So it's not a normal thing to have at the local gas station? Most of them around here have a pump for it and also a racing gas pump at couple of them too.

he is referring to fuel that is normally used in Excavators, backhoes etc...

It is a different color than normal diesel.
