I would be a little pissed off about a full frame replacement. I can guarantee that vehicle will never be the same. There will be gremlins in that vehicle until it is crushed.

He's just sour that his beloved Mercedes is going to lose the F1 crown this year to Max in a Honda-powered RedBull car.

Hahaha that was a co worker of yours?!? Super Scary but also funny, because nobody was injured.

Like, say, a Borla exhaust on anything.

Where does it say that Borla made an OEM exhaust for the TBSS? I can't find anything on the internet saying it's a factory system. Also, that couldn't be further from accurate. It's a Corvette engine in an SUV chassis and body. There's a zero percent chance the exhaust is the same exact system as a Corvette, unless you're speaking solely of the muffler.

I see you're more willing to stay in your own bubble than have a discussion. Trailblazer SS's do not come with Borla exhaust from the factory, at least I'm not finding this anywhere on the internet. AAAAAAAAnd, if your SS actually has Borla exhaust on it, it is certainly exceeding OEM/legal noise requirements, which you're advocating for maintaining.

This is the first moment of my learning the Volt powertrain was in something else, another GM mistake to kill-off after like 3 years. Come to think of it though, wasn't the Volt's ICE just used as a generator and not actually used to motivate the vehicle? Buuuut, I know I didn't specify but a in a vehicle that isn't 76k, is more what I was thinking hahaha.

I'm also not trying to say "all bikes should have extra loud exhaust.", just to clarify. I'm just saying, that louder pipes likely have saved lives at some point, be it the rider, a driver/passenger in a 4-wheeled vehicle or an individual (think child) from running into the street without looking. But to say bikes with loud exhaust are "destroying the peace" and "Ear Piercing noise that destroys any tranquil attempt to live life." while having a V8 with aftermarket exhaust of your own is quite the hypocritical statement. Inner city, EVERY aftermarket exhaust resonates off buildings. I know, I work downtown STL and hear vehicles drive past daily and I'm 6 floors up.

That's because you literally only hear the ones with obnoxious exhaust. You'll never hear the quite ones drive past. Also, I don't see how loud pipes wouldn't save some lives as you'll at least hear a vehicle before seeing it. dEsTrOy tHe pEaCe All the while...

Unless you hung out with every Harley rider, that's still a small sample that you were just around.

Yeah, I've known a couple owners and they loved them. They needed that powertrain in something a little larger and I couldn't imagine it wouldn't have taken off in the market. It was such a great combination of EV range with an ICE to cover the longer trips everybody complains about.

And I'd actually say it's a few who ride like that, they're just (obviously) the loudest so you only notice those ones being @sshats.

And it sucks because the vehicles themselves aren't actually bad, there was just a MAJOR design flaw that has damaged their image.

Too bad that cash won't fix the reputation of garbage EVs from Chevy.

I like the R1T but the Taco is a great looking truck, imo. Based solely on looks, I'd prefer the Taco.

HA! You read my mind.

It's only standard on non-commercial version, which they've said they'll make a commercial/fleet truck and one for the rest of the public.

Maybe you didn't know but, there are luxury trucks now. Limited F150, High Country Silverado, Denali Sierra, Limited Ram 1500.

They have mid-engine proportions and that's about it, imo.

I could go with that. It feels more appropriate for this truck. Very opposite of most auto enthusiasts, imo. Outside of the bro-wheels and tires, love it. Not saying I don't love it. I can love something that I don't exactly find beautiful. I can think it looks cool, awesome, gnarly and love all of them but not quite beautiful.

I think it's a really cool looking truck but far from something I'd call beautiful.

It seems like the best all around truck tire with some rugged looks is the good ole BFG K02.

Per David's keyboard (paraphrasing): you can't take those numbers serious. His biggest issue is always the person behind the driver's seat and according to online measurements, my Lincoln MKC has 36.8 inches. I'm curious if there's a standard front seat location for these measurements. I've put a 70" TV in the hatch space of my MKC and I had to drive very unsafely because the seat would more THAT far forward. the drive was only about a mile/mile and a half so I just did it anyway but I literally could not get out without having my wife slide the TV out some so I could move the seat back. she should have driven as she's much shorter than me but I was already crammed up there and said "fck it, let's just go". Oh yeah, I'm 5'8" and she's 5'2". Wow, what a random tangent to go on...?

Oh wow, I didn't realize it was that small. Thanks!

Don't they have a Bolt EUV now? I don't know how it compares size-wise but I think it's close to the 'Nox.
