Believe me boss, was already glad to not be in CA. I let my truck sit when I can, but it is a necessary evil for me in most cases. Yes, you should save a lot driving that TDI, but CPKs are overrated, I hear Hobacks are where its at.

When you drive a Yaris, you aren't trying any longer, you are succeeding. :p I kid, I kid!

If I thought I could put a hitch on a Yaris and still tow an excavator that wasn't made by Tonka or Matchbox, I'd do it. Unfortunately, my rig is a little bigger and heavier than that, so if I did, I am afraid the Yaris's uterus would fall out on the highway. So, stuck with the big diesel tank till something better comes along.

The excavator out weighs the Yaris buy at least 4 times! Hell, the bucket may hold more than my Yaris! weighs 2400 lbs with a full tank of gas and me. Dropped by a truck stop scale one time.

Funny thing, the average Harley dresser has a bigger engine than I do, lmao. 1500 cc and aren't the new Harleys 1800?

They went from 80 to 88 to now 96 cubic inch, engines designed by Porsche since > 20 years. 2 wheels or not, your car has probably better mileage ....

Funnily enough, my BMW has exactly 100 cubic inch, but everybody calls it 1600cc. Thats what happens if a German bike is designed in South Africa.

Uhhhhh, touring bikes are coming with 107’s or 117’s in the upgraded models. The 96’s went out a long ass time ago. My ‘16 has a 103.

Gas mileage wise I can average 32 pretty easy. I’ve seen 41-42 on highway trips, also have seen way less when I’m ripping around recklessly.

🍺 I haven’t really kept up with all the new stuff lately, too expensive! Speaking of curves, I upgraded the suspension in mine so it would corner tighter and harder, unfortunately I’m limited by other equipment haha.

I've ridden a lot of different bikes over a lot of years, but I've never owned a Harley.

I have friends who were always trying to get me on one, but every time I tried riding one, I'd drag various parts every time I tried to go around a corner.

(I'm an idiot lol)
 
So yeah< I was right... 1500 cc Yaris is 91 cubic inches. damn...
Now the 67 GTX I used to have, thats a different story. Had it when I first met my wife, as a second car. She drove it once, only once. She was sketchy about driving it, light turned green, she takes off, sneezed real hard and burned off about 5 foot of rubber. Cop pulled her over and she would have got a ticket but he saw what happened, but asked me to drive the car instead. She was pissed and embarrassed mostly embarrassed and that was that. It wasn't strickly stock but nothing too heavy. Still, a 440 with any mods can be a hand full. The thing that amazed her the most was when I did a full run she sat there and watched the gas gauge go down on a 21 gallon tank, lol
