Not bad, still never would have figured you for a Chevy product. ;)

What did it run you and how's your mileage?

It is a very sick car. We went out shopping for hybrids of all things. We have been looking for about 6 months. We drove just about every car out there and I just could not feel myself behind any of them. Went down to the Chev dealership to test drive the aveos and just for kicks my wife drove a v6 impala and she really liked it so we talked price and it was 27 and I was like ea... and we saw this puppy sitting in the used car lot I walked over and looked it over and test drove it. The supercharged v8 made me all fuzzy inside. We talked about price and it was unreal it was used. some dude bought it and drove it 700 miles before he realized he could not afford it. it was re-poed and I was able to get my hands on it for 22 it normally goes off the lot at 32 brand new. I just could not pass it up. I actually love driving it. it has the supercharged v8 with fuel on demand. when we cruise down the freeway we get 33 mph because it switches to a 4 cylinder on the freeway.

Nice car--is the truck in the garage yours, too?

Yep, I use the truck to run around Moab and to go to the canyons and do some climbing. Most of the time I usually take it to the train station to go to work. I don't mind leaving a 87 jeep at the train station, not big about leaving a new car there. How has the climbing been for you this summer? I have only been about 5 times... yuck real life is pretty lame ;)

I've only been outside a few times this year, including bouldering in Kansas(!) Seriously, they have an interesting site, lots of spherical accreted boulders, easy but fun. Also the east side of the Cascades, Leavenworth. I'm trying to set something up for eastern Washington when I'm out there at the end of the month. I've been indoors a lot, and climbing stronger than I did before I broke my leg in November. I am PINING to get outside on something meaningful.
