Default I forgot how fast she is.

It's been a few months since I've driven Bertha, but she is fast, and the throttle response is immediate.



She may be old, but she's awesome!

Why, Yes!

This is her at 200,000 miles

When and if yours ever gets close, then you can slam me for her name.

Mine is a base 07' and yes, I agree after you haven't driven them in a while, you forget how fast they really are. I've got 54,000 miles on it and it still hauls the mail and handles like a champ.

Oh Lord, now you have me thinking about this Jimmy Castor tune. It's been years. You may as well play it as you drive along. LOL!!

I love that!

Especially as her full name is Big Blue Butt Bertha. She's a tough old broad!
