I have had my heated seat burn out on me twice now. The dealer doesn't understand why... but when it does work it doesn't seem to heat like my 08 Trailblazer did. The dealer has said that the seats in the new trucks have a lower temp setting. Really stupid. They don't even heat up enough to actually feel that there is heat. Very frustrating.
Fuel prices finally dropped here to 83.9/ L. Still crazy high but compared to some places in the states but its still a way better price then a couple years ago when I was paying 1.40/ L
Wow... $500 for the camino... thats crazy. Yea you are right there are lots of junk out there selling for at least 4x that amount and you would be getting less. And $200 for the Trans is awesome. He would have been an idiot to pass that up.
I had a buddy who was rebuilding a 72 Chevelle when he passed away. The car was about 70% complete when he passed. In his will he had left the car to his daughter... she had no interest in the car so she ended up selling it for $1000.00 as it was including the rest of the parts that weren't installed yet. When I found out I just about had a heart attack. She said she wanted money for clothes so she thought it was a good deal for her. The guy that got it was probably laughing the whole time. I know my buddy had spent at 40k in it when he passed.
Lol.
Too bad about the El Camino but who knows something may come around. My father in law is a huge fan of the Camino he has been looking for one for quite sometime but either people want more than what he can pay or it needs so much work he that he isnt interested.
My buddy is always buying and flipping cars/ trucks and I wish I had the money to buy some off of him but i'm in the same boat... either funds aren't there or I have no space to keep them. Planning on buying an acreage in a few years so maybe then if the whole "five year plan works out then maybe can start on having my wishlist. lol
Looking at doing a trip in a couple month down to vegas with my old girl if I get her completed in time... getting excited to actually try this one out old school haha.
Don't remember where I saw it on this site but liked the idea of someone adding the lights in the rear bumper steps so I decided to do something similar. Also decided to add some interior colored floor lighting.
