That's the problem, there wasn't

Even got somewhat decent gas mileage considering all things and running 90mph at points, was great if you kept it to 70

I could do/ get 17 mpg’s if I was disciplined, but I have a problem with being socially responsible

17's were my average when running 75+ or the mountains, under 70 it was getting 22. All the gadgets and extras is what got to me, my poor old Tundra while a solid truck is the base no frills model.

Like spending a month with one of the high speed lookers in the showdown forums then going home to the tired chunky girlfriend who's had 3 kids

Well, attorney retained. He said it'll take a while to sort out, but he's confident they'll settle before a court date. This is not a mountain I want to climb, but climb it I will. Got an appointment with my doctor tomorrow. I want to see how he can recommend surgery, then say I'm fit for duty.

John, the VA can find you 100% disabled but fit for work in another field. You still get the C&P payments and if you take another job, you are good to go. If they find you unemployable, you can’t work at anything other than menial type work where you don’t exceed XX amount per month. Choose wisely.
