Got rid of both the '02 pickup and the '92 Blazer. :)

 

As sad as I was to see the Blazer go...What's in my driveway right now has me grinning like a Cheshire cat:

Nice!  Wanna race my V10, Wing? :banghead:

 

Enjoy the new wheels...all 4 o' them!

 

BTW-is it awd?

 

 

 

 

Yup...AWD, Navigation, XM satellite radio, Heated leather buckets, sunroof, adjustable pedals, etc...Pretty much the works. All KINDS of stuff to break 3 days after the warranty expires.

 

Congrats.

 

 

So whats going to be the first mod, and when's the first burn out party?

 

 

 

 

I'm going to wait until after my second oil change (right about 5k miles) and do the chip. Not much else performance-wise...At least until the warrantly is up anyway.

 

I'm still sorting out all the stereo equipment I pulled out of the Blazer and '02...And trying to figure out what all I want to do, how I'm going to do it, and how much $$$ it's going to set me back. I sure like the XM/Nav radio unit that's in there, but that Bose s**t has GOT to go. It sounds like a**.

 

Can't do burnouts...AWD. :)

 

I did turn off stabilitrack/traction control, and did a badass 4 wheel drift in the parking lot at work about two hours ago though (Not something I normally do, but it was wet, and the boss was egging me on). :chevy:

 

 

 

Thanks guys. :D

 

 

400hp launches with all 4 wheels putting down power is such a thing of beauty.

 

*sniff*

I wanna ride! :)

 

I do wonder about its "Off-Road" performance, compared to your former rides.  :D

 

 

 

 

I'll never know man...I'll never know. :banghead:

 

And you are only like 5 miles from me, truck rides are free.

 

Mustache rides, on the other hand.... :seeya:

Cool ride for sure Wingnut :banghead:

I thought you'd never get rid of the ol' '92 Blazer? :)

Wow, man...thing is beautiful. When I heard about Chevy doin' a TB SS I was a little upset that GM was throwing the SS name around like a cold. I was dissapointed with the Rado SS, so I assumed I would be otherwise dissapointed. The Trailblazer and Impala are very cool lookin'.

 

I want one...very nice. Sad to see the Blazer go, I woulda liked to have had that.

Congrats on the new purchase...

 

You said you were going to chip it were are you going to get the chip and are you chipping for Horsepower or MPG?

 

Dark Blue is the best GM Color!!

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
