Rocket? Any trouble in Paradise?

[Snake X3]

Snake beat me to it. All those Rockets in the pits at your local tracks are not new.
As far as chassis built, just from the numbers released by Rocket, sounds like they average 1 per day. That's not counting Saturday's, Sunday's, and holidays.

That's what I figured. That's probably enough to keep the national and bigger regional guys in new chassis supplied with plenty of used cars for the locals.

@Josh - right. That's what I have observed. In the south it's slanting more towards Longhorns the past couple of years, but there are still a lot of Capitals around.

I think local guys tend to get whichever chassis builder is closest to the house out of convenience.

Yea support those greepie japs

My tundra was built in Texas and I support them for sure….I also support jumping in my truck and knowing it’s going to fire every single time.
Which has been the case on both tundras I’ve owned from brand new…..the 08 got me to 160k before I traded it in on a new 2012. That one has 225k on it at the moment.

Just spent a couple thousand on it replacing the timing chain mechanisms,plugs and coils etc…..I expect another couple hundred thousand out of it.

I like Japanese whiskey too, is that bad?

^ Talking of the Texas area one might have heard about the man that had 1 million miles on his Tundra and brought it back to the dealer only because the odometer didn't start over again ? Toyota offered to give the man a new Tundra so that they could tear apart his old one to inspect for key areas of wear of which there wasn't anything significant. The man racked all of those miles because he was a hot shot specialist constantly pulling a trailer with drilling rig supplies all around the Southwest.

I dont think it was totally free which I think it should have been w that many miles. I think he did end up paying some kind of money for new one.
I have a 2006 tacoma w 328k on it and still ticking.

Like the old ads for Timex watches= " Takes a licking and keeps on ticking " ? ?

Had a '79 Chevy one ton crew cab that I bought years ago used from a guy that did explosives for movies with over 140,000 miles on the 454. I did a ring and valve job on it at around 165K and towed my racecar trailer all over the West for many years and when the front suspension was finally worn out and the whole truck had more squeaks and rattles than my old body I sold it with some 350,000 on it. The carbureted big block still ran flawlessly and still got it's usual 10 1/2 mpg empty and 10 pulling a fully loaded trailer up and over the Sierra Nevada Mountains from elevations of 2-8,500 feet. Was a great truck and I still run the big blocks. Current one is an '02 with an 8.1 (496) that sucks fuel at an 8 1/2 mpg rate. Had it since it was a year old and it's been a very reliable truck.
