Right along with you T.J. Ford F250 with the 10 cylinder. If I get to 11 MPG I am one happy camper. Love my truck but I may have to break down and make a change.

Tell what will bring tears to your eyes, when the wife and I met I had a 90' Mustang GT that my father and I took out the old 302 and put in a GT40 Motorsports crate motor ( 375 hp ) and topped it off with a Turbonetics 15lb turbo charger ( +200 more horses ) and I had a single shot of NOS in the trunk ( +100 more ).
Almost 700hp to the rear wheels and got 17 mpg, daily driven with AC, power windows and locks, power steering. I still dream of that car a couple times a year and the fun I had.
Let me guess....the DW wouldn't let you put the car seat in there with the DD.
I was lucky enough to be able to keep my Harley and '72 Chev Blazer. Don't have the Blazer anymore, but still have the hog. It's not much of a tournament vehicle, tho.

Dare to say our president would not be too happy with all you MAJOR fossil fuel consumers.

My dd's team played the Mustangs many years ago. Impressive way to travel.
Me, too. I love mine. My husband drives a GMC Acadia. He loved his vehicle until I got mine. Mine's more comfortable and fits more stuff.
I had a Freestyle before the Flex. A number of years ago, I hauled DD, 4 of her teammates (1 was a catcher), all 5 of their bat bags, 2 coolers and a pop up to a 2-day camp. All 3 rows of seats were occupied. I'm really good at maximizing space. I can do the same with loading a dishwasher and still get the dishes clean.

A paid for car, who cares about where you park either. Foul balls , dirt, sweaty socks in the trunk and wet clothes. No losted keys either, no one even gives it a second look, just leave the keys in it. The dd's ball bag and the stuff in bat bag are worth more then the car. The bat bag goes with us. No car payments means more softball equipment, weekly lessons in the summer with Hillhouse and going to clinics, hours away on weekends during the winter.
2004 Ford Explorer with 210K miles on it- pretty much drives by itself at this point. Does great on the highway, good visibility, has room for everything- gas mileage is reasonable depending on how fast I drive (not that I speed). Sometimes will take the Surburban- it is a '97 (260K) and refuses to die, it is let out for good behavior from time to time.
