Man, you must have a death wish, buying a car called the Exploder.


My Escort...not the male one, the Ford one... goes over 300 miles on about 10 gallons. So 30 mpg on average. I haven't bothered to calculate highway versus rural routes. Good fishmobile, as long as I stick to 2-piece rods and one or no passengers.

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.
