I don't have the nice suit, or the M, or what I assume is an expensive watch...but I did buy some Grey Poupon today. So I've got that going for me.

Yeah. I keep meaning to get it done and keep forgetting. Had it in for some performance upgrades last week and they were supposed to do it while they had it, and they forgot to do it as well.  One of these days.

My old man's Escalade is the biggest piece of shit he has ever owned. Great drivetrain, but the electrical and fucking plastic door handles, break, or go on the fritz monthly. Will never own a Cadillac product.
CHIEF

All of this on the escalade. Same for the Yukon Denali... The door handles and shocks are shitty... I've replaced all socks and 2 door handles in 3 years.
On the flip side, my fil is on his 3rd escalade and may never buy anything else...

I love my cts wagon, though. Sometimes I wish it were a V, but it's fast enough with 318hp. It's my favorite car of all (granted, I've only owned two Mazda cars, and the rest have been 3 trucks/2 suvs)

I'd buy another used Cadillac car, but the denali/escalade suv can pound sand.

[Okie State 3906]

Are those the Magride shocks you've had to replace? I'm leaning more and more toward converting mine to a standard suspension when they go. They're nice when they work, but I didn't buy a GM with a solid LS drivetrain only to have to drop a grand on new shocks every few years.

Yes. I stopped going to the dealer for them, because they're out of their fn mind on parts and labor... I ordered on Amazon and got my mech to put them on for half the cost...

 

The mags seize up badly for no rhyme or reason. When you see an escalade bouncing, it's not hydraulics, it's magnetics and it sucks...

 

I gave it to my wife because I don't like to drive out and she does. I drive my 2004 avalanche with 160k miles and I love it... I had to redo the the top end and cam because I had a stuck lifter... And drove on it for who knows how long... I'm keeping the av forever...

I got it inspected yesterday, registered it on line last night, and got pulled over for expired/no sticker (I peeled it off yesterday) by a south side place cop today. I could hear his disappointment when I told him I renewed yesterday and showed him my receipt.

Anyone have a recommendation on a place that does wraps?

Got my wife a new Forester Sport and she wants a black vinyl wrap on the hood to break up the whiteness of the vehicle.

[Pato del Muerto 53631]

There’s no color change that can lessen the whiteness of a forester. 

[Speedtrucker 2101]

yeah it is a “white” vehicle lol!

The color is at least offset a little by being a sport trim so they blacked out the grill and wheels and put some more black accenting around elsewhere.

Adding some black to the hood will break it up a little more.

[tbone_ 14511]

Wrap it in chrome

[pepper brooks 580]

From the profile it has a resemblance to the jaguar f type.  Nice looking rig

[Speedtrucker 2101]

We were close to getting a pearlescent chrome wrap and neon lights underbody!

Bro, I lift.  Calloused to hell.  Also I started my business skills bidding on construction clean up jobs in HS.  We did 100% of the work ourselves. That shit is hell.  

Today I’m driven around and pampered.  But again, I lift, bro.

I love you, bro. But i know your hands right now are as soft as Derka's fupa.

I lift, too. And i did the same kind of jobs as a yute. And my hands are regrettably soft...

I think about all the shit I should buy when I'm working my ass off so here goes.

Want a truck, but not sure I want a truck. Don't really need it, but I'm in a construction-related field so a truck is always a good play. We already have enough room for kids/dogs/storage/hauling so a truck isn't a necessity. But a few co-workers have some nice F-150s so its on the radar. Is the Limited Edition worth it? Is the engine actually tuned like the Raptor, or can it be done? The website has the same engine listed and someone above said it was the same engine but my understanding is they add a chip and do a lot of tuning to the Raptor to get to the increased horsepower. Seems easy enough to do if that's the case. I'm a fairly aggressive driver, but not crazy. I enjoy performance though.

At the very least I need some sort of SUV/sedan that can hold up to 5 people, so no console in the middle of the backseat. Doesn't need to be that big or comfortable, but I have two kids and would be nice to not have to switch cars to haul them and friends around. I currently have a 2012 A6 which fits the bill ok.

Not really looking, but circumstances might allow for an upgrade. Love my Audi but it hasn't exactly been maintenance free so not sure I'd move up to an S6.

Don't want a turbowagon that seems to be the rage these days. Love the engines, but I'm not driving a fast station wagon. I grew up watching out of the backseat of a station wagon. Probably had 5 HP vs. 500, but that's not happening.

Needs to be a manly enough car to take to a project site and not pretentious enough to be noticed. 5 seats, decent trunk space. 5 figures.

Sell me on something here or sell me on something besides an F-150 Limited as a truck.

Back to work.

Go buy a 2018 S6.  They are selling them $10k off sticker to clear them out before the 2019s show up.  Buy an extended warranty.  Smile when you drive it.  Or a Raptor would fit the bill.

[G650 14460]

Raptor is a waste of money imo. Fun engine, but strapped to worthless platform.

All the new F150s are great trucks, I'd get something in the FX4 to Limited range, best value.
