Our Newest Addition

on: May/30/04 and its been viewed 1,180 times

We finally picked up the truck yesterday. We’re doing our part to inflame the liberals in our neighborhood:

Gas Guzzling SUV

At work - I mentioned the new, upcoming purchase. I love to let the liberals go off about how it harms the environment….ask questions like , “Well, you know it’s harmful to our environment, don’t you” and “SUV’s are killing the ozone layer” , and on and on. I let them ramble - - allow themselves to work into a full blown lather - - and just when I think the moment is perfect and they are just about to pop a blood vessel in their left eye - - that’s when I let them know that it runs on Ethanol. Corn Alcohol……

“Yea? Well, the GMC Yukon XL runs on Ethanol, Ken - - what does your car run on?”

Shuts ‘em up every single time.

    Ethanol, eh? Do you know how much corn, wheat, and countless other grains you hurt everytime you fill your tank? :(

    AK - I’m glad you asked. :)

    Wisconsin has three Ethanlol plants and at least 6 Ethanol pumps - one of those pumps is convienently located in my local area. :razz:

    She’s a beaut! Love the color too. I drive a pewter Suburban… that runs on gas cuz I don’t give a flying F***. It’s the only thing I can work out of and drive my family of 6 around in.

    Good luck with her! I’m sure you’ll soon love it. That is if you don’t already ! ;)

    As a tax payer who’s subsidizing your ethanol, I have two words to say, “Your’e welcome.”

    That is a nice looking ride. Very 24-ish.

    I have a querstion, I live in Ca, and we are having our elections in a few days… prop 87 is so that we will start using ethanol.. but my question is how do we get our cars now to run off of ethanol? I am not sure if you or anyone here knows. I was just looking for how to find out, cause I think it would be a great thig to do, but not sure how possible it is for most californians to make their exhisting cars run on ethanol…. if it is expensive etc.. i would hope there is something that says the state in the $ it is helping us save will pay for the alterations but yea right like that will happen! ok anyways just a question.. nice yukon by the way, I drive a suburban, it is a GASHOG! but i love my truck,,, Mrs. Flax
