I guess you missed the game before that....

M buddy tows a big Four Winns with his X5d, zero issues and it's got all the bells and whistles. But yeah, a Tahoe with the Duramax would be awesome.

Excursion was the last big SUV you could buy with a diesel. Problem with the Tahoe/Suburban/Yukon is that they aren't built on the 2500 series platform.. They'll never be getting the Duramax.

They've already got a bunch, you could go buy one today. X5d, Q7, Q5, Mercedes, Grand Cherokee.

Raf, don't forget resale, longevity and mileage, lol. If you have a drive that suits a diesel (ie a lot of highway miles) you're silly not to consider one.

We can blame CARB for the lack of diesels here. Tier II Bin 5 emission regs are tough to meet compared to the current Euro 5 standard. Like you said however, once those vehicles are required to meet Euro 6, it should make meeting the current North American standards extremely easy. Mazda would also be the last company I'd be buying a diesel from, you should read up on the debacle that CX-7 owners had to deal with in Australia with their new engines, lol. We were supposed to get a Mazda 6 with a diesel until all that crap happened. What I'd like to see here is the Honda 2.2 i-CDTi.

Wow, if I had room for 3 batteries up front I'd be all over this.

We've got more diesel offerings in passenger cars/SUVs these days then we've ever had in the past.. Sure the fuel isn't the best compared to what they get in EU, but it's meeting emissions that's the hold up, not the fuel.

50lb braid and light baits? That's going to be a lot of fun, lol. 15-20lb Fireline, a good flouro lead and go have fun. Sure you'll bust some fish off but it doesn't matter if you're running 100lb braid, coral will rip that to shreds as well.

Was good for the first half of the first period, after that it was all downhill. I hope Kozun is ok, he went really awkwardly into the boards.

Gotta be a rodent of some kind no?

Nice! I've heard he's quite good out in Gbay for those toothy critters.

Depends on which Battery Tender model you're talking about. You definitely don't want to set it to a 2A trickle charger however.

You guys get into any 'skis?

Right on man!! You get those 3/4 darters from Cabelas? Great hooks on them, I gotta paint a few of them up with some eyes for next year! I love those red finned beauties!

There's walleye, but they are even more scarce then the muskies are.

It's definitely not typical steelhead water and if you don't catch a pod of fish you'll be having a fun day doing nothing, lol.

Graham Bristow? Yeah I know him Good guy, really good guide. I wouldn't wait until winter. Get out with him in November if you can... Upper Saugeen would be my choice.

All the fish are in my bathtub.

Time with Graham on the water is money well spent. You can apply that to pretty much any river in southern Ontario/NYS, etc.

No fish in the Notty.

I can't wait for the Habs/Bruins tonight.

Some nice pike in GPool as well..

I think he'd have a fine chance, you see the last time Iginla got tuned up by Rinaldo? He's not exactly 25 anymore.

If I put my tinfoil hat on will that protect me?
