Glorious drive up to Dallas today -- set the cruise at 75 about 10 miles before Huntsville and I don't think I had to disengage once until I hit a little road construction around Corsicana! The weather was so nice I didn't even need to turn on the AC until about 12:00 or so!

Hope tomorrow is a repeat -- plan on hitting the road around 10:00 so I (hopefully) don't have to battle any traffic on 75 through downtown.....

If you haven't made your purchase yet and was thinking of going with Tasca try codes 2016tasca or 20ship, I spoke with Steve just today. Don't think it'll be a huge saving but every bit helps right..

As far as your grille choices, I think their both nice but the Tremor grille is just awesome and It's rare which I like. I feel Ive seen many stx sport grilles out and about.

I should've checked here before i ordered, Just ordered it from oemfordpart.com. the 2016Tasca knocked off 25 dollars which is pretty good. brought it within 17 dollars of each other.

Well, the ride back from Dallas today was brutal! Huge back-up for an accident on 75 near downtown, and about a 15-mile section of stop-and-go driving south of Corsicana for road construction. Add to that a ton of truckers trying to pass one another going about 1/2 mile-per-hour faster than the guy next to them and I feel as if I have been beaten with a rubber hose all the way back to Houston.....

On a positive note, the Cavalier got just a shade over 31 mpg this trip -- even with three pretty good chunks of stop-and-go traffic on this tank of gas.....

Loaded my tractor on the trailer this morning to go mow the yard for my dad at a rental house he bought, it's the first time I've even had the hitch in the truck. It's not a lot of weight but the truck pulled the trailer so much better than my last 2 trucks. I forgot it was back there. Came home and gave the truck a bath and now it looks like rain. I guess I'll have to mow my yard tomorrow.

About to wash the cavalier. It's been atleast 3 months since it's last wash. May be a record for me!
