Martin is a great guy to deal with! He has built some badass rides (414ci TT AWD Silverado for one).

You cant go wrong with Martin. He knows his chevy stuff.

WWWWWHAT? Are you on crack?

First of all I'm not biased. Where do you get off making that up? I've heard good things about the guy, but just because I got someone else to tune my car doesnt make me biased...

Second, I didnt join the site two years before I got my car...That would mean I got it just this past december

I got my car in September of 2006.

Thumbs up OMG!!! wtf?

Ok get this and I'm not bullshitting anyone!! I decided to take my car on a day trip to Revelstoke B.C... Great weather blah blah and ya that freakin Rogers Pass is crazy ****.. Anyways my car got 7.6L per 100k

It was just about 1100k round trip, over 10hrs on the road and I really never took the cruize off except for Calgary. Oh and I took my spare out. Man thats gotta be a record or something?

Revelstoke or to Banff would be a nice cruize witha bunch of cars, hell my cell even worked very deep into the mountains.

I get about 7.9 on average per tank now! Haha. I filled up and drove from red deer to Calgary and back once doing 120 and got 6.1!

Get your car tuned and your economy will sky rocket.

What you got is still wicked though.

Ok I just thought that was something impossible after all driving in the mountains up hills and then theres the altitude, which I'm not famieler if its really that much a difference? I seen you guys talking about that fella that does some tuning work so I'll have to keep that very much in mind when that cash flow starts to smooth out.

Now wtf is up with this weather!!!!!!

That's awesome! I'm sitting at 9.6 L / 100 km right now because all I do is get 6 miles of gravel, then 30 km of highway, and then 10 km of town driving every day, and it's all snow covered and on Blizzaks. And it's winter blend fuel.

We've gotten 3/4 foot of snow since this morning.. it's coming down in small flakes but it's really adding up. This morning it was coming down so hard I couldn't see my wipers on some spots of the highway. A blue intrepid hit the ditch in front of me. Really hard to stay between the white and yellow line and still do 100 km/hr... I really didn't want to get rear ended by some jackass. There were some trucks still doing 120 km/hr (20 km/hr over the speed limit) this morning. Frigging idiots.

Haha! Congrats. :P I just inherited $1000 from my recently deceased great grandmother. I'm deciding whether I should save it or invest it in the car.
