Thank's to realize   this not T1 against K2 but don't shove down my throat that  the T1 is better.The truck is still ugly both the GMC and the Chevy only in the front end.Boy since I got the fluid changed in my transmission I would never change my truck for a T1.

Probably can't afford to anyway, since you can't even complete a sentence correctly.

The k2 is just as much junk and the T1

My comment is NOT aimed at any one specific poster BUT

Our society has become polarized enough, there is way too much anger rhetoric on the air waves and on line.

 

This site was developed to be helpful and educational.

Would it be too much to ask that we all go back to what our 1st grade teachers told us?

 

If you can't say something nice, then say nothing at all.

Totally agree with you.I just don't like someone calling me a liar,which I have nothing to gain from lying.

I totally agree with you but sometimes you have to take the high road and politely reinforce the truth, or ignore those who think not before speaking.

I had something very similar happen when I started the Lipstick On A Pig thread and I was called a TROLL and other things.

 

Some people think that just because of their anonymity on a website that they have a license to attack others and defame them.

 

Like you, I'm a retired worker on a guaranteed pension and was able to buy my T1 with cash.

Most top of the line vehicles operate this way. The problem is everyone is in a race to the next thing before they work the bugs out of the last generation. My older top of the line vehicle stays in town not getting miles on it, fearing failure. I now buy lower tech cheaper vehicles for travel. The next up market vehicle I will lease if I desire one.

They're both junk, but my T1 is better junk than my K2 was. Had the K2 for 3 years and the T1 for 3 months, only took 2 weeks to realize how much of an improvement in the T1.

 

Overall she doesn't look better or worse in comparison, but K2 no longer commanded a second look while T1 is attractive enough to turn heads.....essentially I traded a brunette for a redhead, same basic equipment and functions but younger and tighter with a nice fresh smell! And if K2 were to ask: "What has she got that I haven't got"? My answer is this:

No more 2 small crapo HID projectors with shutter lenses.....now I have 6 Hi intensity CREE LEDs 4 on low beam 6 on high beam and no mo' stinkin' K2 shutters to create a dark horizon. Full LED front directionals, parking lamps, rear directionals and brake lighting.

Roomier back seating and HVAC outlets

Infotainment 3 with HD radio, HD 8" screen and HD cameras

Same quality materials in leather and dash finish but the controls on the T1 are all lighted and clustered logically by function where they are easily visible and reachable from the drivers position.

More drivers foot room by getting rid of the parking brake pedal assembly and going electronic with automatic release to prevent accidental brake drag.

Dumped complex hydro mechanical AFM/6 spd. in favor of advanced less complicated better mileage electronic DFM w/8 speed

And attractive rear bumpers with large grab points for easier mounting.

 

Consider this .....come 2021 the T1 will have the same shape of a fresh young model while the K2 will have that tired been-around-the-block a quite few times looking shape that was discarded in favor of a younger model.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
