I have a set of rosary beads, made out of bamboo, that my Poppi gave me.  He got them from a Preist over in the Philippines when he was there during World War II, so they have seen alot.

Not a damn thing, I enjoy looking out the unobstructed windshield.  With stuff hanging on that mirror you are also taking a chance a dickhead cop will give you a ticket for obstructed view, friend of mine got one last fall for having his parking tag hanging there.

(1) Parking tag.  Only on there right now because it's in the lot where I need the tag.  I take it off when I go home.  If it were smaller and didn't identify where my truck is for 8 hours a day, I'd leave it on.  Last time I forgot to put it on I got towed.  :D

I"m with JP on this.  Unobstructed view so I don't get an unwanted hood ornament.  :D

(On the Maxima) I have a Hawk feather with rabbits fur around the stem and beads wrapped around it,

 

(On the 83 Stepside) there is another Hawk feather with beads around them step tied to the rear view mirror

 

and on the 97 Silverado, currently there is nothing, but there will soon be an Owl feather beaded with rabbit fur.

Nothing, but I'll tell you what I don't have is the temp.  Didn't come w/ the '99s.

 

Think I'll be ordering an '03 anyway, so I'll just wait.  :D

    • I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.
    • Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.
    • If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.
    • Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun! 
    • I have an Edge Insight CTS2 in my '04 3500, and find it works well.  Only real problem I have with it is the obdii connector will work itself free over time, so it stops working and also freaks out the trucks electronics for a bit.  Remove and plug it in and it's good to go.  More recently, I've taken to zip-tying it in place which also seems to work.
