To be honest, both those vehicles in that picture I prefer to drive more then the Escape. I preferred driving the 91 C2500 more then my 2014 Silverado, that's why I got rid of it…

I totally miss mine (El Camino). Regretted selling it every day since the day I dropped it off at the new owner's buddy's garage in SC. Miss the handling, miss the power, and more than anything I miss the reliability - if something did go wrong it was simple, and 99% of the time, free. Never touched the front end once in that car - thing had been cross country, and back & forth from Phoenix to Livermore, CA several times, plus a couple trips to the Grand Canyon, & the Mexico border once, and a few years of 85 mile a day commuting in MA.

 

Only time I ever had a problem was on a trip to Niagra Falls, Canada - was driving around outside Toronto somewhere, and one of my clamps had loosened on the rubber hoses for the tranny cooler. She puked quite a bit of ATF before I threw the line back on, tightened it up, & got to the gas station, luckily a mile up the road. Paid my $6/qt (in '01) and was on my way.

 

If I had used my head, I'd have taken the money I wasted on buying the Silverado, and fully restored the Elky front to back, bought a winter beater for winter, and an old Cummins for hauling cars. Live and learn. Now I couldn't buy half the car back for what I sold it for ... :nonod:

Just got back from Eureka Springs Corvette Weekend. We got there on Thursday and left on Sunday... 500 Corvettes in the show, but about 5,000 Vettes on town! Great weekend, great friends, perfect weather all weekend. :thumbs:

Was out running some errands on a nice fall day and had to stop at the mall. Found a pretty good parking spot though.

Thanks, I'm really enjoying it.

Yellow things are to protect splitter during transport. I asked the dealer to leave them on. I have a couple more steep driveways I need to test before I take them off.

I used to do that with the Silverado when I first got it. I stopped caring a few years back, and park up front now ... and it shows. Scratch and ding central ... :lol:

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
    • It was never mandated.  Ever.    Automakers were incentivized to install it by getting CAFE credits to help with their vehicle fleet fuel economy scores.  They were being handed money/CAFE credits to install it.  Which is NOT a mandate.       The current admin removed the incentives that were behind them installing it.       
    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.
