  1. I usually just leave a tip.
  2. I get sad when I see a single, tiny dog turd on the walking trail. To me, it means the dog had to go so bad but his a-hole human kept dragging him along and he just couldn't hold it in. People: a dog is not a fashion accessory. It is a living being. Let it poop if it has to, and then clean up after it.
  3. Well the crew cabs (with 5.3 or 6.5 foot beds BTW) come out first because GM (and all other truck makers) have made them the most attractive to buyers through incentives over and above all other body styles (shameful) and I think GM is saying "early 2019" IIRC. The "double cabs" might come shortly thereafter... and lastly... the best of the best... the regular cab. Short bed.
  4. Looks good, has more of a truck presence, which I like in a crossover. SEL Plus AWD seems like the sweet spot.
  5. No son... what they're doing (Volvo) is making a public gesture. They started making cars in 1927... there have been MANY MANY Volvo models never available with a diesel. That is all I'm pointing out. It is disingenuous of them. I find it rather stinky. Moving on, I agree with dfelt... I love authentic saddle brown leather interiors... most of the "browns" of today come across as orange. Not cool.
  6. In continued pouring over the online order guide, I am pleased to see a nicely expanded variety of options on the new Silverado... for example, Z71 can be ordered on the WT... this mimics Ford's FX4 strategy, and Dodge's Off-Road package (starting on the new 2019 model), all of which are available on their base trim level trucks. FINALLY, GM takes the gloves off in the battle to win EVERY SINGLE truck buyer! Actually you know what, I could see myself in a reg cab shortbed WT Z71...
  7. Seems like an evolution of the 1958 Buick to me.
  8. Why is he dressed like that?
  9. Shame they can't just continue with the normal engines in the new truck instead of fooling with this pie-in-sky BS E-torque crap anyhow. Now they're reaping what they've sown. Truck buyers want the latest and greatest (without going all weird). Propping up the dead, a la Weekend At Bernie's, is maybe good for a laugh in the beginning, but it has no staying power. With all of this being so publicized... how many red-blooded Americans are going to plunk down $50k+ on a new Ram... knowing it had to be delayed at the factory to be "fixed"? Scary. Who is the manager of the 2019 Ram 1500 project at FCA? He's fired.
  10. Photo is mutilated. I mean manipulated. If Harley were here he'd be appalled!
  11. You drink some stuff (a lot of it, to the point of discomfort) that cleans you out. You go in and put on a breezy gown. They knock you out and stick a thing up your butt with a camera on it. They snip off any polyps while they're up there. And then they give you the results. Not a major situation, really. Looks like the online order guide has been fleshed out pretty good lately. Lots more info on the new Silverado is up over there (glad to see a chrome bumper/alloy wheel package available on the WT... it's about time!) Also, the AEV Bison concept grille will be a dealer-installed option on the 2019 Colorado.
  12. Sadly it has been a while since anyone has rubbed off on me.
  13. Thank you for a taste of REALITAY
  14. This is so sad. Someone direct me to the nearest safe space so I can meditate and hopefully... one day... recover.
  15. I've never "ragged" on ICE vehicles a day in my life. I do know they're like God's Gift compared to pathetic electrics tho. New Blazer is gonna be H.O.T. I really like the wide stance, nice interior, painted lower body v. cheap textured trim and aggressive front end. Thankful there is no enviro weenie version, it will be plenty efficient with good ol' ICE simplicity and ease of use in all situations. Those crying across the interwebs about Chevrolet's choice of name for the product... "That ain't NO BLAZR" act like it is a surprise bomb or something, when we've been seeing spy photos of it for over a year that clearly showed it to be a sporty, stylish CUV, not a rough and tumble (and I love rough and tumble) rock crawling trail beast. OMG Ford is bringing back the Bronco, Jeep has the Wrangler and Chevy gives us THIS? Excuse me in 1969 the Chevrolet Blazer did not compete directly with Ford's original Bronco or the Jeep CJ, or the original Scout... it was based on a full size pickup! WAY bigger! Ford, Jeep and International ALL THREE made their tiny off-roaders bigger and posher to meet the Blazer/Jimmy concept. Dodge and Plymouth even entered the game. So I am not scared or mad that Chevy named this thing Blazer... the last Blazer wasn't exactly Rubicon ready. Maybe GMC will satiate the need for a GM rock crawler. If they do, we will see how well it sells. I just think it's funny that so many are reacting with shock and disdain when the Blazer has been in full view while in development... with the name attached the entire time. BTW XT4 is not "Cadillac" enough for me, at least as far as I can see so far. The base model is so cheap looking with textured lower body trim, blah silver painted alloys, etc. The Sport is better but the clear lens taillights are SO "last decade" and the standard Sport wheels are blah... the Premium Luxury is the most decent and cohesive trim, and it is EXPENSIVE. Why am I thinking the XT4 is tiny compared to the Blazer? It certainly looks like it.
  16. Kinetic Blue Blazer RS AWD 3.6L... ?
  17. You really don't know why I think electrics are a waste of money and time? After all these tears I've dropped onto this site?

    2019 Chevrolet Blazer

    Hot stuff. Cannot wait to "build & price" my own version of this.
  19. To me the Equinox and Terrain look like they're too heavy for their springs, ya know? This looks bad-ass though. And since there is no pretense at off-road cred, it gains a stylistic and road stance freedom in its look. I can't wait to see the whole spectrum of trim levels and interior/exterior color palette. They're saying there will be a wide selection of colors, we'll see. Sporty 2-row CUV that's not too small. It's about time GM jumped into this niche. Would have made a knock-out Pontiac Torrent.
  20. Nice Denim Blue TDi convertible, tan top, tan interior. At the walking trail parking lot.
  21. LOL trust me this ain't gettin' no truck motor.
  22. Ew no. This is an official photo of the 2019 Chevrolet Blazer RS AWD with 3.6L V6 power, not no pantywaist Voltec crapola.
  23. 2019 Chevy Blazer RS AWD 3.6!
