on the road

I spent 20 hours driving my friends Toyota Tundra up to Eugene Oregon and back. It wasn't until I got back into my 240D 4spd that I felt like I was driving a truck. I hate new cars and trucks, you can't feel anything, but I guess that's how most people like it.
I'm still trying to break that new engine in. It's definitely opening up a little bit, but not to where I hoped it would be. I'll update that old thread of mine after I change the fuel tank strainer and adjust the valves again.

My 03 dodge with cummins and six manual feels like a big lovable female version of a 240d. (in my mind).
