I believe this is the newest, latest and greatest version on the software - with all the bells and whistles.

It is fast...
 
RE: New Forum Look

Thanks Rick but don't you miss the Mark?

As I'm sure you know, it was always a love/hate thing.
Yes, the Mark was an awesome sleeper.
The little stuff always breaking was frustrating.
I wanted more power, so the decision was, invest more in the car than it would be worth, or go for the L.
Sometimes I do miss it.

But..

1) The L is much better for trips to Lowe's or Home Depot.

2)On the same night Stephen (Devilinblack) could only manage 15.2's in his Mark, I was easily cranking out mid-13's.
(Remember: hot, dry, desert air and 3000 feet above sea level)

3) I can actually see the cars in front of the ones in front of me.

4) Gobs and gobs of low-end torque.

5) With the open K&N and J-chip, the blower whine is an awesome sound.

Of course the trips to the pumps is a negative.
The Mark got much better MPG.
The back tires seem to wear extremely quick (go figure) and are over $200 each.

All in all, I'd do it again.

I understand! I love the L too. I can hear the sound of it now, great.
 
RE: New Forum Look

Can't argue with those points, but owning a truck that is not a 4x4 in the Pacific Northwest is a sin.

I'm not your typical Pacific North Westerner though, I'd take the L over the Mark in a second. I'd just have to "catch a ride" when it came time to go off-roading.

Thanks for the compliments.

That, I can relate to.
I moved here from Minnesota.
A 2wd pick-up was rarer than Marks.

The L has a warning on the door jamb,
"DO NOT DRIVE IN SNOW WITH THE GOODYEAR F1'S'

Bring it here.

There isnt much there because no one tells anyone or gets something going in the 7 forum.
