I realize this is a terrible picture, I didn't take it.
The significance of this is... wait for it...
my girlfriend borrowed my pickup, tired old 250 I6, manual steering, manual brakes, 4-speed... and drove it on a 200 mile round trip up into the mountains to go mountain biking. This means a few things, one that it's running pretty well, 2 that it must be jetted reasonably well, and 3 I think I'm dating a pretty cool chick. She'd borrowed the truck to run to home depot for fence stuff and then went to show it off to a friend and I guess they couldn't stuff all the bike stuff into her little VW golf so they're like "screw it, take the truck", checked the oil, filled her up and off they went. Sorry, I'm pretty excited about this, I'm just glad it's been reliable enough to haul itself up to the mountains outside of denver. Okay, that's all I got!
