St. Ignace is a ghost town compared to the car show in June.

Changed the oil in the Equinox and checked the oil in the truck which hasn't moved on the dip stick after 1800 miles.

 

Drove the Equinox to the grocery store and left the truck sleep in the garage where it has been since friday and will be there until tuesday!!

NO

 

I just bought the truck and was wondering how it would be for oil consumption because I know alot of these trucks do have issues with it.

finally a pic of your truck :o its purty

 

 

Thanks but I've posted photos before and not just of being stuck either! :lol:

 

 

 

Almost tagged a deer driving up I75 this morning. Stupid creatures. I don't see why it is so hard for a hunter to bag a deer- they wear camo, mask their scent, walk around all quiet and all kinds of other stuff yet I drive a big, loud truck down a expressway doing 70 and I see 4 of the damn things today.

Please don't rub it in, went hunting this weekend and got nothing. Nobody in the group got anything either and the land is usually full of them! The high winds and overcast clouds didn't help either.

That sucks, here in SC, you get free window replacement up to three times I believe. Which is what I got done today.

Drove my truck in snow. Too early for this shit! Though this time last year I was cleaning up from a foot of snow so I'll take the dusting.

Off work tomorrow......headers and windshield I guess. Think I'll just have them installed. Cuts and nerves still healing from all last weeks stuff, changed positions at work so learning a whole new angle,and don't feel like the hassle without a lift.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Atlas · Posted

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
