  1. No your Caddy, but it isn't that bad. I am going to drive it without tint until spring and me and wife will decide what we wanna do with it. I know what your saying tho. I do love bargains. THERE GREAT!
  2. Thanks 2005EquinoxLS that is good to here. I hope I can average 18 in town, crossing my fingures anyways. We also love the room it has and the way it drives.
  3. I bet they are bringing it how much extra will it cost them. The stinking car is already developed. I think it could add an additional 5K units a year.
  4. I hope the offer white.
  5. Just no. That is something we all are trying to forget 3 bangers, if they do a 4cyl. there is no need for a 3 cylinder.
  6. Well I think it all is in what you have good luck with. I have been to Elgin, IL a few times as well nice area tho as well.
  7. Opps there all gone I ain't no bill board!
  8. Actually the peeling did, I went straight for the gasoline to get the glue of the sticker (lower) one off.
  9. Thanks GM1 the logos have been sucessfully removed.
  10. That f*cker is ugly... Enclave please.
  11. My Uniroyals on my Impala held up well, but I think it was dumb luck. They were very $h!ty cheap tires. The Bridgetsones on my Impala currently and the ones that were on my GP held up well too. I like the Goodyear RSA's on my SLE the best they have been excellent tires.
  12. I live in Dubuque, IA where IL and WI and Iowa meet. Thanks guys.
  13. Thanks everyone feel free to save any of them or use them for desktops. I hope have many worry free miles.
  14. Really what I read the Bridgestone Duellers are good tires... Hmmm and yes look at the BW logo on the window I have to remove and the dealer sticker, I am going to take your advice PCS but I will wait for a warmer day. It was only 30ish today.
  15. Back in 2004 when I first set eyes on the Chevrolet Equinox I loved it. I knew that it would prolly end up being my next car (which the Bonneville SLE was) or the following one. Then I found out the Aztek was leaving the Pontiac stable opening up a spot for an SUV, and then saw the Torrent and liked the gussied up Pontiac version even more. By the time 2006 rolled around my son was hoping we would take the bait and get one. Well by the time mid-06 came around he stop asking and let it go. I certainly thought that was odd, well he had found out about MCE with the upgraded dash, new steering wheel and roof mounted (Euro-style attena), the 2.48:1 axle ratio for fuel econ, and 4 wheel disc brakes with abs. So he waited till late summer 2007 to start up again on the car kick. I almost bought an Aurora, but knew it was too much for such an old car. I almost bought a red 2007 Torrent but before I got to it she was sold. Then after my son getting internet price quotes in the new year, and watching a few more FWD '07 models sell he told me about the final one in are area that would have the correct features and MSRP price. It was this one. The next day I called down (Wed) got and asked for a quote, Pam (sales-lady) called me that evening with the quote... Then haggled her on trade she could only gurantee me 100 bucks for my GP... I said talk to your used car guy and tell him the situation and say I was hoping for at least double what you just offered. The next day she called me back (nervous that the new 16.3K Torrent would sell) and offered me 250 on Thurs. Then I said great I'll get everything in order here and make the 180 mile trek to Ottawa, IL Friday after work. I did indeed and left town with my son in the old GP and she made the trip just fine, got down there a 7pm test drove the Torrent and was out of there by 8:15 and headed home. That was easy. Today I just put a coat of wax on her, cleaned her up good (she was driven Sat. night so the family could ride in her and got dirty), my son fully detailed her, he also cleaned the carpet and put down L-cheapo carpet savers (floormats) until I get my factory production replacements in from the dealer (I have yet to order). I decided I am not going to tint the windows any darker, and just going to add Pontiac countered splash guards, chrome exhuast tip, and factory floor mats. We haven't decided if were going to have it undercoated yet. That is the story and I am loving it... Now for the $250 in extras... They get you coming or going I tell you...
  16. Ah gotcha thanks so much... I have some more photos!
  17. Will rubbing alcohol hurt the paint? Thanks for the advice and compliments.
  18. PCS it was brand-new, it sat on the lot for 221 days to be exact, and it was just sitting over near the Saturn portion of the dealer. It was at a GM Superstore, the extra badging like BW and the dealer sticker will be removed shortly. I bought it brand new window sticker hanging in the window. Any tips on how to remove the BW oval from glass or the dealer tag from paint WITHOUT hurting the glass or paint in anyway? I need to know, its driving me nuts. Now it has 285 miles on it since it made the trip home. I like it alot.
  19. How do you think I could afford a Torrent?
  20. I paid 16,300 new! With 103 miles! Thanks today it wasn't sunny at all, I will get some more and post them. They are a screaming deal, and the interior on them is very nice and materials are worlds better than my Impala or Bonneville. They don't deserve to be the punching bag they drive great I think. Thanks guys. Pray for sun on Sunday...
