I forgot to tell you about last week's fuel economy.

9.9 MPG. 100% city driving.

Envoy's only slightly better.

Once I have a year or so of work done after graduation, I should have a decent chunk of my loans paid off. So I'm thinking I'll either get a new Sierra V6, a used Silverado 2500HD diesel, or a "used" Caprice.

You should probably stay with a truck.

I'm leaning towards a used Duramax right now. I won't feel bad modding the exhaust on a used truck.

Plus that Caprice wouldn't suit your farming needs at all.

True.

I really hate used car shopping though. I was going to buy a used car two years ago and spent over 6 months looking before I finally gave up and stole my dad's truck.

I need mods for the Juke. Give me some ideas, Fen. Something that'll be cheap.

Intake. Probably the cheapest performance mod you can do.

Does yours have the hatch spoiler?

Nope. That's a certain 1998 GMC Sonoma with a ridiculously big engine.

The only redeeming quality is 245 lb ft of torque.

I'm probably going to ease up on the throttle a bit for this tank to see how she does.
