Love the FLAT  :thumbs:

 

If you had waited a few more minutes the truck would have probably flipped over (cus you know flats cause that).  LMAO   :(

That's why we jus zipped through the ford section.  All those SUV's could've rolled at any second crushing us all :D

Nice pics!!:thumbs:   Did you see the Mecury Maurader there? That is what my dad is going to get. ??? He has a Grand Marquis right now with the police engine in it, runs really smooth but burns oil! ???

Heck,

 

That show is way better then the Denver Auto Show that I went to this weekend.  All they had were the cars that are already on the lots.  There were maybe 2 concept cars and no exotics.  The fanciest they got were the nissan 350Z and the new viper.  NO 2003 models of anything.

Thank you for the pics; I can't get enough of H2.

Those are all thanks to John Kelley (GMNewProductInfoCenter on the board).  And another thanks to him for reminding me about them so I would upload them to my new site.

Haven't made it very far thru your pics, Jon--the first picture of the Expedition with you squatting to take its picture had me laughing and I had to post this before proceeding...

 

Looks good.  Looks like someone went wild with the digicam.

 

And your site is reorganized too!  Woah!

Of course it is!  It's one of the preimer auto shows (right up there with the North American and Los Angeles) and in the third largest metropolitan area of the country.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
