    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    What Did You Do To Your 3rd Gen Today?

    Filled up the tank and calculated 9mpg :barf: Went for a drive and found out the trail I planned to visit was closed -_- Was going to record a timelapse of the sunset but didn't work out. Also found this littered van as I was driving.
