If you don't have a long drive to work, it doesn't really matter what you drive. If I had a 5-10 minute drive, I'd probably have a 69 camaro with a big block or something like that.

According to google maps, it's .5 miles door to door. But it takes a while because the red light I have to go through lasts too long.

Must be nice. The pump shut me off at $75 the other morning. That was for 5 days worth of work and back only.

Or an 07 Tundra that will outrun a 69 Camaro and tow the pig.

Hell, I think it'd outrun a Camaro while towing the pig and get 15 mpg.

I've got 4 miles even to work.

Have you driven a Camaro with a built big block? I haven't driven a Tundra, but I find it hard to believe that it would outrun said Camaro.

Even if it did, the Camaro is

er and you should be driving the pig, not towing it!

1969 Camaro SS with a 396 ran 14.7 @98.7 mph.

That's been done in a Tundra Crew Max 4x4

A regular cab has run 14.2
