  1. No real noticeable difference I think. Best thing would be to replace the OEM chip with a Jet Chip and their Tuner so you can run in OEM tune mode, go to fuel efficiency mode or to performance mode. I have to say that I really like the ability to self tune your auto with preset tunes or if you want to play with it tune yourself to get the type of idle and performance you like out of the engine. A Jet chip?! I thought those were garbage. They are constantly posting "25+ Horsepower! 5+ MPG!!" on their product listings. I took a 350 V8 and bored it out to a 402, hot cam, overall performance focused and with a jet chip it moves. I personally think JET chips work well.

  3. Awesome when you see baby boomers who love auto's and put the fake tuner auto's in their place. No matter if you come from Europe, Asia or America, Put a fart can on and a few hundred pounds of body mods does not make you a fast car. Some of my fondest memories was when my dad swapped out our 350 that was in our Delta 88 Station wagon for a 454. That station wagon was the ultimate sleeper that put many a tool to shame. Great story Drew.
  4. Agree with Drew, Buick is in a solid safe spot.
  5. Nothing wrong with an Eisenhower Republican or even an independent social-capitalist. We have grown far beyond how this country started and to be great again, we need to change and grow our political system. Time for term limits on all offices be them federal, state, county or city. We also need to remove all pension funds of the political systems and roll them into Social Security and make it even for all. Roll back the tax on Social Security payouts and stop borrowing against social security. People need to realize it is a privilege to serve the country, state, county and cities they live in and not a career. Serve and then go back to your private life. All offices no matter where they are held should be a max of two terms of 4-yrs each. Focus on serving the people and return to the private life.
  6. So history does seem to repeat itself and there are some clear signs that we could be headed towards a 3rd world war. Wonder how this will affect our drive of Oil / Petrol based auto's compared to CNG or Electric? Afterall the US has the worlds largest proven reserves of Natural Gas.
  7. Way to go, I know it is hard but you will thank yourself down the road. Awesome Job.
  8. This is exciting for Volvo, hopefully it will bring a better over all portfolio.
  9. Very awesome picture indeed.
  10. Very cool, I can say that I have had my SS north of triple digits many times and I believe the Highway top speed is a joke. I see a purpose for speed limits in residential and city streets but on the highway I think it should be wide open to get from Point A to B ASAP.
  11. Those Rock, too bad GM gave up on them.
  12. I have used the superchip tuner on my suburban and it really rocks for solid performance. I have it tuned nicely on 87 and if needed added power can change it to premium tune and get more out of it. I like that I can change it on the fly when the tank is empty and then fill up with premium and go. I recommend using tuners to enhance the basic tune of an auto.
  13. Looking for my drive to work today, seems to have gone missing!
  14. Side profile sucks, short nose and bed and huge crew cab just does not look right in it's proportions and as a Uni-body truck this is more inline with the old El Camino's than a real truck.
  15. I could see a Sport and a Nisimo Models being added.
  16. Yea old days of add brake fluid and craw under and bleed and then add more brake fluid and move to the next wheel are really out of date now. Some pretty good brake bleeding products are out there now for DIY. http://www.brakebleeder.com/product-category/brake-bleeders/ http://www.summitracing.com/search/department/tools-shop-equipment/part-type/brake-bleeder-kits/?autoview=SKU Both these companies have a good assortment of systems for this.
  17. Hope they stick with this unit as they work out the bugs and make it very reliable why go to a new engine.
  18. I always thought Mel Gibson.
  19. I would so remove that as it would look better without it and you would have better ground clearence for real use of what this auto is designed for. They need to remember these are SUV's for use and not a car. If they want to drive them by the dozen for the soccer moms fine and they get lower gas mileage fine also. Just do not loose the functionality of what this auto is all about.
  20. Love the ending of the write up with this is what the USA is all about or Die Trying. Sadly we have seen a few Corvettes die trying. But they are still AWESOME!
  21. Very cool, thanks for the write up like this. I agree some pics would add to the story. But nice job to start.
  22. I have more and more coworkers who have changed from Asian name plates to Buick's due to the looks and life style available auto's. More and More are liking what Buick is doing and yes I hear that commercial all the time when people do the same thing of that is not a Buick. So far 5 Encores in my department and one Regal GS. I have to say this ad does work and works well.
  23. I like the look but just like what you did to your truck, it needs to dump that butt ugly black plastic with chrome hump bit thing at the bottom of the bumper.
  24. Lovely looking ring!
  25. In reading others comments and reviewing the picture, I would have to do to this truck what Ocnblu did to his and that is remove that butt ugly black plastic with chrome middle piece from the front bumper. It is the one thing that does not look right on what is an otherwise lovely looking truck.
