This is a lesson on how to confound a Silverado owner.
My best buddy is a Silverado owner, as I formerly was.
Now that I have crossed to the "dark side" with my new Titan, he asks me
"How's the Titan?" And I always tell him "Love it!". He always answers " I'm still getting 20MPG, how 'bout you?" ,knowing of course that I've not gotten more than about 14mpg in the month I've had it.
After careful consideration I have decided to take action and mess with his head. Two weeks ago I began adding gas to his tank. Not enough that he'd notice, but each night I've snuck into his driveway and added about a gallon and a half each night. By the end of the week I had added about 8 gallons. A significant portion of his tank!
So last weekend I said " before you ask, yes I still Love it, and no I'm not getting 20 MPG" His face lights up and he says " Man I'm getting like 40MPG this week.!" I act amazed and say " NO WAY!" Made my tongue bleed in the process, but I didn't let on to what I did. He says man this new Silverado is "AWESOME!"
Unable to leave well enough alone, I decided to really mess with him. I continued sneaking in his driveway every night last week... but I SIPHONED the gas back out of his tank at the same rate I had added it the week before!
Yesterday he tells me he has scheduled an appointment with the dealer.
He says, " I don't know what the Hell is up with this damn thing, I had to fill up before the week was even over!" " I think I only got like 7 or 8 MPG!" He was also pissed because the soonest he could get into the dealer was next weekend.
I struggle to keep a straight face and say " Man that really bites! I can hook you up with the guy that sold me my Titan if you'd like." He scowled at me and stomped off.
Now I find myself in a moral delima.... Do I own up to my prank or let him take it back to the dealer and go through the old "we couldn't find anything wrong" routine?
Since it is the election season I'd like to see how my fellow members here on Titan Talk feel on the issue. Please post your comments and votes in this thread to let me know. Do I tell him OR do I keep it to myself?
Vote early and often, every vote counts!
Thanks for your support! :upsidedow
