My truck is now officially a daily driver and surf wagon at nine months since I bought it.

*The mileage dropped on this one because it includes about 2.5 hours of creeping along at 2-3 mph or less in semi-gridlocked traffic during the San Diego County power outage of 8/8/11.
**Almost all freeway driving at 60-65 mph.
Note 9/30/11: Around town mileage decreased slightly after 9/9/11. Could be from a heavier foot (getting used to driving this beast) or changes in tuning from use.
The surfboard is a vintage early 60s Jacobs made in Hermosa Beach, CA. It is my regular ride and at 10'4" it almost fits in the bed at an angle. Forward into the past ! Stoka-boka !
