I used to get tired of vehicles and purchase something else. Many a good car I have bought and sold. Like them for awhile then get bored.

 

I always have had a truck. Never got rid of truck.

 

I have had a Camaro.

I have had a Firebird.

I also had a Mustang.

Two Chevettes and many other brands in between. My used 1978 Pontiac Grand Prix was probably the best riding car I have ever had. Silver with red crushed velour paisley bench seat. Purchased it used at the 4 year old mark. Looked brand new.

 

All were purchased used. I probably lost some money on all but not much.

 

When I was young I purchased 5 new vehicles in 7 years. Lost a lot with each. Then I turned to good used cars.

 

The sporty type cars are out of my system now. No desire for a Camaro or even a Corvette.

Get a new one. You will probably get a new one in a couple years anyway. If you are going to have car payments you just as well have a new vehicle. You could get a less expensive trim level and get a Silverado and get a Camaro! That way you can go to Lowe's and Sam's as well as cruise around in style. Great problem to have though. :thumbs:

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
