  1. thanks guys! WMJ that GMC looks like a winner. Yeah while filling out paper work i talked to the family of the lady. They were horrified they asked me what went wrong but since i had a minor memory lose i said she lost control and hit me and i didnt remeber anything elses. turns out she was calling work saying she was late while she lost control. This taught me though speeding to get some where faster i guess doesnt pay. I could ruin this familys life and take them to court but i decided that they are in for some tough times and that only the insurance companies would do whatever it is that they do.
  2. So you think its funny that the people already losing jobs? some 30k are about to lose there jobs and some already several 100k's are layed off or are in job banks from Japan coming here. The list of layed off, job bank people, and "Temperay quits"(Its basicly being fired but put more nicely) people from GM, Ford, DCX and American parts suppliers are far greater than what NA Toyota, Honda, hyundia and whatever employee in the US.
  3. Your right it deserves to be some 16 years old first car instead so it can be on the road for another 2 months :AH-HA_wink: Yeah it shouldn't be tortured to riding miles on end with the frame riding on the shocks bumpstop. done that a couple of times with my 1500. Im going to call the number on that truck right now since i put it in my phone.
  4. I hope he gets better too thanks BV and dedtonesfan. his 100% recovery chance is at about 77%. which is good i hope. Yeah the truck does seem not that bad. the lady's car was F'ed up tho it was just a mangled pile of Aluminum. So whats C and G's current "recent Accident count" up too? But this is getting real bad.
  5. the only problem about an s-10 its not wide enough for what i need or i would all ready have one. the wagon can fit it in some how. I saw a old ford f 150 with a straight 6 for $500 and a 5 speed but it says needs work im wondering how much. and i cant seem to find the cheap old chevy truck with a 350 in it.
  6. I saw a buick rodmaster wagon for sale lol should i get it? It is white with wood grain panels. I t has a 350 and its for sale at $4500
  7. If you havent seen this article http://www.cheersandgears.com/forums/index...?showtopic=9349 Im looking for a truck 2000 and up 4wd 1/2 and up no duallies or diesiel. at least 6 1/2 ft bed. ext cab not required. I plan to spend around 15k used up to 30 new. Right now im using a 89 camaro as a work car (I rented it for a case of beer and bring it back with a full tank of gas from my uncle) it goes back tomarrow though. I dont know if i can wait till fall when they come out. since i dont think i can strap metal and Oxy/Asen torches in my caprice. any sugestions? EDIT: 90's trucks i guess can work since they still want a pant leg for those 2000 trucks.

  9. quick scketch of what i rember happening
  10. I was just thinking tho i dont know if i wrote that right but i rember facing oppiste traffic and the driver side door up against the wall since we crawled out the passenger door. unless we spun at some point. since we where against the left wall. im having a Memory lapse or somthing i dont know what went on truely if i remeber later ill edit it.
  11. Last month in mid may I went on a business trip with a co worker and friend since he wanted to go see his parents in a town just outside of Duluth Minnesota where we were at doing a job for a sister shop. Since all of us planned to go around on vaction for the next week we decided to go north up into canada and camp way up there are goal was to go up into the northren territories. Well some where in northren canada there was F*cking snow still on the ground so the first 2 nights where pretty cold while i heard it rained and was hot down here. On the third day we went driving around and we came across some very nice 4 lane hiway with a cement divider and all. It was pretty icing in the moring but all was gone around noonish. Im doing about 120 Km/h or whatever around 75 mph since i felt safe and comfortable doing that speed and the limit was like 110 Km/h. There are two lanes going either way and im in the right lane while some 20 year old girl is going way to fast in the left lane and she hit some ice about 20 ft behind my truck and started sliding a little im watching this all in my mirror. She had a kia or some $h!ty car like that i really cant rember much that went on. I was so amazed that i didnt do anything to escape or brake or drive into a ditch i just keep going the same speed. my co worker stoped talking to me since he knew i was pre occupied and he looks back to see what im watching. as he looks back my friend starts looking back to see what we are watching and then she hit my driver side rear tire which threw the truck sides ways and i hit the cement barrier with the front passenger corner doing about 70 mph. then the back of the truck swung and hit the wall causing the driver side to slide down the wall facing the wrong way in traffic. the girl ends up smashed into the wall too. I was fine my co worker was fine and we where wearing our seat belts. But my friend in the back he was sitting in the middle so he could be up closer and talk more clearly. He wasnt wearing his belt. on impact he was tossed all around in the back smacking his head on the window which knocked him out. the girl ended up being killed some how, she died in the ems truck. My friend is currently at U of M medical center or the Mayo clinic he keeps geting transfered back and forth and stuff. He is going through rehibilation to learn how to walk again since his hip and pelvus bone or somthing broke and fractured. Also he is learning how to communicate verbaly again. he can understand if you talk to him but he cant talk back, he can write and type fine though. he lost his short term memory for now since when he wakes up he is angry since he cant understand why he is there and why he cant talk. being in a acciedent sucks, but in a different country sucks even more. Now if i go to Canada i can be denied access if the guys a dick, since im considered a "trouble maker or something". Theres the Damage it doesnt look bad in photos but in real life its horrible. The underneath pics dont do justice. But the frame is twisted and bent in a S pattern. The truck is dead if you turn it on nothing happens just the message center lights up with major warnings. No response to the starter. The Air bags did not deploy. I thought i did but i guess i never got that recall done. There was a faulty sensor or somthing. since the air bags didnt deploy and it ended up only being $12,000 (US) worth of damage to my 01 silverado. The Insurance company asked me if the wanted to fix the truck. I deneied and said that it should not be put back on the road. My truck is either being rebuilt or in a junk yard in Canada i dont know what they decided. I was thinking about the bent frame and all the electronic 4wd stuff. plus i couldnt drive it ever again since it would be bulit up on other smashed up truck parts. Thats all the pics i took i really didnt even want to see it. Currently looking for a replacement truck.
  12. How much for it and can i have it tomarow?
  13. bad move GM. They should make 1 for every dealer and have what someone said a custom order policy. Its what draws people in to fealers like the Sky and Solstice. And Z06 You can buy Surplus Army hummers though which are even better. like http://www.real4wd.com/default.asp?mnu=4
  14. going to be a blue collared man styx ZZ top Too much time on my hands "I got dozens of freinds and the fun never ends as long as im buying" Isnt that true!

  17. YJ freind "Hey isnt that your cousin?" Haha good luck And wrap that willie! But Have a Relationship style GF not a freind with benifits type GF.
  18. After i get a car for a while fuel economy goes up. After i can find out what the car can do I dont punch it as hard or accelerate fast or drive 100 on the freeway. so it could be driving patteren.
  19. Aveo! Its what im looking for right now since i have my Caprice and silverado for the other stuff like hauling the woman around and the Taxi as it is called.
  20. a honda civic with some 20" spinner wheel covers. With a bondo body kit and fake mitrous bottle. wiht neon and 3 15 inch Kicker L7's plus a fat Fart can. But its blown white somke since that windshield washer fluid is leaking into the intake manifold. and that thing that says oil just has smoke pooring out of it.
