But if you had the EcoBoost you may have surprised him. :D

The ecoboost is most certainly an impressive engine! To Be fair to the triton I did let up on the gas when I hit about 80 so the situation didnt become dangerous. They also had a head start and were already juicing it as Habbibie said. Still was fun to run the truck through its paces

LoL hell I've lost to everything that has wheels with this truck, Cavaliers, civics, crv's, Geo metro rocking a 3cyl engine, box trucks, model T, bicycles, skate boards, roller blades, an RC toy... You name it & my expedition is ready there to lose to it.

And that Cruze may have been turbocharged. I had one as a rental one time. Pretty zippy little cars.

My alternator is gone, 150 amp too.... ordering a 220 amp and I'm going to do the big 3 (or big 4) mod as well... hopefully that'll make it last and work well with the odyssey battery... I think the fusible wire part may be a bit corroded too so might take a look at it

I got 4 new Michelin LTX tires. I managed to get a prorate on 3/4 of my Pirellis, which dropped me to $282.xx OTD including mounting/balancing.

I washed it and did the windows, which took the usual 3 hours. It looks like I picked up a couple minor scrapes along the bottom of the retractable running boards since I last washed it. Nothing a detailer can't fix, but I'm annoyed nonetheless.

I cut the front bumper for flush mounted LED lights, I think I'll work on the back lights today.View attachment 20158
I think I'll just wire them to the back up lights instead of dealing with another switch and relay.
View attachment 20157

did you mount that light bar in the grill or is it in front of it. i can't really tell how you mounted it i have my 20 behind the grill and the grill blocks some light and there is quite a bit of reflection that i dont care for with mine i am guessing cause it's a flood beam

Have you driven one? The transmission is unbelievably horrible

Haha you couldn't pay me enough to get in one let alone drive it. Nobody can convince me those crumple zones on that tiny rig can protect you when you hit anything, heck I'd think it's totaled when you hit a squirrel. Do those have a CVT?

I drove a 2017 brand spanking new one the other day it wasn't a cvt but possibly 3spd auto, it's fun to drive through a lot like a go cart but slower, has about the same options package as a go-cart too lol. Being 6'4 i surprisingly still had a lot of room to be comfortable.

I remember seeing a video where they took the panels off and it's basically a roll cage on wheels, problem is if your expy hits it head on its not the amount of damage it receives but the latiral G's they get from bouncing back so quickly that implicates the most bodily harm.

Yea at the end of the day I think whoever has more weight is better off (disregarding other variables) in an accident. No matter what it is roll cage or not, you hit a 6,000 pound truck with a boxed steel frame, it's not gonna be pretty for a sub compact car, I just don't trust them.
