  1. I agree, using the hummer 4x4 technology as a kit to offer on GM trucks and SUV's so if a person wants a Raptor class rig they can order it would have made for a far better product line than setting Hummer up as a stand alone division. That was a big mistake.
  2. Smack it or did he SMACK it!
  3. We'll if I was to get a crotch rocket car, then this would do it for me. Dusk color please with the big ass most powerful motor available please.
  4. Your very right about these new liquids. They over all do just fine, the story's of sludge, jello clogging up is due to the uninformed who do not bother to even read the maintenance section of their owners manual and then they go and mix in non compatible liquids and mess it all up. Today's modern engines will last a long time if you take 30 min to review your owners manual and get to know your auto. Do not treat it like a standard kitchen appliance. They are more complex and need a bit of special attention. If you do not want to do this and want to be in that class of appliance users, then at least have the common sense to take it to the dealer or certified ASE repair place for maintenance. If you choose to ignore common sense maintenance, then you do not have a right to complain about the product when it fails you due to you failing to take care of it. GIRTH GAINED In regards to the insignificant weight gain of this engine, there are many other areas that they will be able to shed weight and I do not see this causing any decrease in gas mileage or performance.
  5. OK, to clarify, the hardware packages and the drive ratio's that were avaiable on the hummer should be made part of an extreme off road package. I am not aware of any current GM 4x4 that had a 45 to 1 crawl ratio out the door from the OEM except when GM built Hummers. There were many things that you found on a hummer that I never saw on any other GM product.
  6. In searching around Seattle here and I admit I could have overlooked it or just not Binging it or googling it right, but was a two tone like this OEM? I am wondering if the owner had the strip painted on.
  7. Yet I have found that many people from India, do give their kids everything and spoil them here in America when they have been very financially successful. It was pathetic some of the parties I have see at hotels I have stayed at for 1year old, 16, 18 etc. They spend crazy amounts on their kids.
  8. Sweet Starter Ride for college adults and a solid fun commuter car. Wonder if the aftermarket will have a twin scroll Turbo with cold air intake kit to bump this up into the 200+ range of Torque and HP.
  9. I would have to say in looking again at the photo's that I do not think this truck has been repainted and all the badges are in place. The 2500 is on the rubber bumper strip at the front of the door and the SLE badge is in place Lower Right Corner of the rear window as well as from what I can see. The interior matches what I have on my 94 bought in 93 Suburban SLE. Very roomy, comfy ride. Look forward to hearing about it and what the condition of the engine bay is and underneath knowing that the road salts can rust an auto out, yet this looks very clean.
  10. I use Albert as my "consumer focus group - subgroup: people dumb about cars".... in the nicest way possible of course. Anyone who drives a Honda or Toyota has been conditioned into thinking that when the "Service Required Soon" light starts flashing, then it is time to get an oil change. It could be 3,000 miles or 15,000 miles... they ignore the sticker as long as that light isn't on. Very true and now with GM, Ford and pretty much everyone telling you to just follow the computer for when to get oil changes, etc. If the computer does not tell them, most will ignore the 3K that a grease monkey puts on the window.
  11. Good to know as the place I found them on did not state it was the concept or sema version. But it also is good to compare and realize that they pretty much stayed true to the design language.
  12. Unless they are really stupid customers to ignore their engine info center, most people should come to realize that we are at the end of days with the BS 3000 miles you change the oil. That was true of older cars of the 90's and older than that, but not with todays cars and the use of synthetic or blends, you should be able to go 7500 to 10K miles now on an oil change.
  13. Rock on, thank you Drew.
  14. Very, very tempting - that's one of my top two-tone color combinations, and the fact it has the blue cloth interior tops it off. The mileage though... 191k. Any info about the durability of this year's engine and trans? Rock On:metal: The engine trans is really solid, I have it in my old suburban before I decided to rebuild and go performance I got over 300K and probably could have gone another 300K but was wanting to have some fun with customizing. Correct, my label is there on the bottom of the glove box, just have to remove what ever is in there to see it.
  15. Very sad, while I feel the father is mostly responsible for giving the auto to an immature kid, it was the kids decision to drive much faster than he had the skill set to handle. Sad for the family and friends. I hope his passenger survives.
  16. While I have no interest in cars this small, I do have to give GM kudo's for making a nice looking external and internal that people can enjoy. I like this interior much better than my light tan interior on my caddy.
  17. But if there is truly a better platform, why not move forward sooner to lead the asian and euro brands rather than equal of follow. GM needs to truly do everything they can to jump ahead and build up some serious cash.
  18. You talking about this bad ass boy?
  19. GMC Just needs to use the Hummer technology for a proper Extreme Off Road package.

    Ocn please expand, what happened with the job? Price on it is way too high, that mileage on that truck should be in the $5k range.
  21. Too True, So here I go, I am 6'6" tall, brunett with a 40" inseam, weight is 275. I love to workout in the gym and my suit coat is a 56 in the shoulders. All my long sleeve dress shirts are from Nordstroms who seems to be one of the few that actually carries quality 2xl double tall dress shirts in a variety of colors. So with these extra long legs and arms and wide shoulders, the interior space is a big deal to me. If I can set myself up to be comfy in the drivers seat, get out and get in behind myself and be comfy than anyone will be comfy behind me.
