Meant to say the gas mileage is pretty good. Tested it out on a trip to Knoxville and got over 22 MPG. It’s closer to 19-20 if I speed up to around 80 MPH. Around town more like 16-17 MPG. And it’s not a hybrid.

Yeah, it should be better than my Nissan Titan but my wife has been driving the Tundra. I probably average around 17 mpg and get up to 19 mpg on the Titan. So far the Tundra shows an average of 13.8 mpg and my wife claims she's taking it easy. I'm not sure she knows what that means. It's still on its first tank of gas, so it will probably get better after it has about 1200 miles on it. It's not a hybrid...I got a great deal on an SR5 with the TRD Rally package that has everything I would need and the panoramic view cameras so hopefully my wife doesn't hit stuff in parking lots.

Huge blow to golf. Tiger woods has been golf for 2 decades. He presided over golf's golden age. He brought more fans to golf than anyone ever. Heck he even drew my wife's attention and interest, I came home from work one Friday and caught her watching the Masters.

He drew a lot of ladies… and heck his wife even started golfing.. she was just a little confused about whether to hit a golf ball or golfer.

Yeah it should get better once broken in. I’m getting over 500 miles to a tank of gas. Mine is a 4WD and has added weight from the moonroof, etc. Of course, it’s also likely this is your wife…

You brought up the year- not me. Tiger's birthdate is in December, so at the 1997 Masters, he was barely 21. I don't relate a 28 year old Tiger to a 40 year old Bonds.

I don't care about gymnastics, and I don't care about people disagreeing.

21-22 is pretty much full grown. It’s why Sr football players generally look bigger than Fr football players.

His body changed dramatically. But I get it - he was out there training with ST6.

Of course people can disagree. I just find blind nostalgia as a reason to be odd.

Maybe I just don't know shizz about how tough it is to swing a gold club a bunch....but Tiger getting hurt like he does blows my mind. Imagine if he played a real sport? Sheesh. Dude would be in a wheelchair.

Athletes bodies breaking down later on is another sign. Happened to Bonds too.

21 as a golfer is not like 21 as a football player. Plus, football players in college look different than 25 years old in the NFL.

You can't tell me that Lebron James doesn't look different from 20/21 to 29/30. He just did.

Sure, Tiger bulked up. Maybe he took steroids. But he was fascinated with military-type training, and he did some things that he enjoyed but weren't conducive to minimizing injury.

Barry Bonds did it late in life, and it was overtly obvious. I don't find them to be the exact same. So what?

It helps that I work for the state now. Tri star for life. Also looks great on my truck.

That’s a beautiful sticker. I’m looking to get the front license plate for that as well.

I also own a navy blue Tri-star hat that I wear on American holidays and for casual settings too. I got that from Volunteer Traditions.

Bonds is believed to have started somewhere around age 32/33 - he was still in his prime and was not some old man.

I just find the continued defense of Tiger Woods to be fascinating.

-He’s running with HGH doctors and trainers
-He’s associating with known users
-He’s doing both at the time HGH is huge
-He bulks up considerably
-He proceeds to go supernova
-He’s believed by ~70% of PGA to be dirty
-He develops a hyperactive sex drive
-He succumbs to his body breaking down
-He is a known liar and cheater

Anyone of those ^ can be explained away and dismissed on its own. But taken together in their totality, it is pretty damning.

Side questoin. Lebron's body is amazingly staying strong. I know he spends on ton of time and money on training. Butttt, any rumors there?

I want to say his money guy just recently had some stuff come out being very linked to HGH/steroids/etc. I might be spitting nonsense though.

There have been accusations for around 10 or so years now on Lebron. Ever since he started off the 2015 season very lackluster, took a two week break on a trip to Miami during the season, and then returned playing at MVP level again.

Then Chael Sonnen (UFC fighter) said he used PEDs throughout his career and that him and Lebron get them from the same guy.

Nothing has been proven though.
