Heh ... to further illustrate how "weird" my summer is:


I haven't detailed my cars yet this year, let alone simply washed them!  With 
the pending surgery, I probably will not have time to clean them...UGH.
Ssssooo...anyone want to or know of someone who would clean them for me??????




...at least I've had lots of "nephew time" this year; hard to believe he will 
be THREE in less than 2 months.

My "car season" may be winding down quicker than expected, but it sure has been 
a weird summer, at least compared to the last few years.




For the first time in over 5 years, I've attended cruise nights regularly, 5 
nights in a row at one point.  All the pics I've taken at cruise nights this 
year are here:

While I've attended cruise nights, I most-likely will NOT get to 1,000 miles on 
each of my Monte Carlos in 2011, for what would've been the 3rd straight year 
of doing so.  Instead, depending on how the next few weeks go, I may be lucky 
to reach 500 miles on each.  Heck, I've only put gas in them twice so far this 
year; gas mileage numbers from the 2nd fill up are below.


One reason I've put so "few" miles on my MCs this year is because of my 2011 
road trip, which I took in the middle of the summer this year (instead of in 
the last 4 months of the year) and drove over 9,300 miles:

GAS MILEAGES


Calculations are based on most-recent fill-ups, Wednesday, 09/07/2011, for my 
Caprice Classic and Sunday, 09/04/2011, for my 5 MCs (2nd time I've gassed 'em 
up in 2011).


1979 Caprice Classic, 350 V8 w/TBI
...196.8 miles driven @ 12.125 gallons to fill up = 16.23 mpg


1972 MC, 350 V8
...210.6 miles @ 13.268 gallons = 15.87 mpg


1976 MC, 305 V8
...205.9 miles @ 11.775 gallons = 17.49 mpg


1979 MC, 350 V8
...207.1 miles @ 10.408 gallons = 19.89 mpg


1981 MC SC, 3.8 V6
...208.3 miles @ 9.496 gallons = 21.94 mpg


1987 MC LS, 305 V8
...146.0 miles @ 7.597 gallons = 19.22 mpg






So ... anyone else experience a weird summer in TwentyEleven?
