I bet the hummer would get worse mpg than the truck of they were both towing the same amount.

Besides rail, Trucks are some of the most efficient methods we have to move stuff. In the us, a semi can be loaded to 80,000lbs while the hummer is only rated to tow 6,600lbs. Semi trucks typically have 150 to 300 gallons of diesel capacity meaning at 8mpg you could go up to 2,400 miles on one tank.

I used to shop Burlington until they removed their dress shirt selection. Once you know your size, it's pretty easy to get clothes that fit great. For instance, as a tall guy myself, I just order 16.5 x 34/35 shirts in a slim fit style. They fit every time, regardless of manufacturer.

Yep, once you get one, you can't go back! I have a small electric 'throw' for the couch and a bigger regular size one for the bed. THen you don't need to heat the house much either which saves $$. OK yeah, it's not BIFL, but saving money should get an honorable mention!

When I need tall sizes, I go to SSLR, J. Crew, and Eddie Bauer. I don't really like any of them, but if you're tall, you don't have as many options unless you want to wear really big clothes. I really like Asket, but their prices are very high, especially when you add in the import fees to North America, so I rarely shop there.

Not sure this is the fashion you are looking for but my tall man buys all his shirts at American tall. Or picks brands with tall sizes.

wait 8mpg? I always knew they had bad gas mileage but 8 is lower than I had ever thought it could be! Don't the old H2 Hummers get like 11mpg? This means if you're on the highway, you'd have to refuel every 30 minutes or something? Doesn't that get frustrating? It feels that like would drive me crazy after a while.
Additionally, what did that truck cost you when it was new? Also, what would it cost to buy, as-is in its current condition, today? And finally, what's the typical cost of a similarly spec'd new truck and do people usually finance one or buy it outright?
Thanks so much!

Yeah the Iowas definitely seem more suited for hard use. I’ll keep an eye on them :)

So if I were just loosely guess at fuel costs over that 1.6 mil land just put the number at 3$ a gallon which we know is low for today that puts you at 600k spent in diesel. Realistically probably closer to 800-900k with todays prices.

'93? Looks like something from the sixties or seventies! I like it.

I was reading Little House on the Prairie to my kid and we got to the chapter where one of their horses births a colt. I thought “wow, and in our age we just run cars until they stop working and then have to buy another - what a shit deal.”

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Where do you guys get casual button-down shirts by UpvoteBeast
Came here to say this. LL Bean has tall sizes, the shirts never go out of style and come out of the dryer wrinkle free. I have shirts that are decades old. As a customer of 40 years I highly recommend them.
