  2. Both me and the wife wrecked today

    Oh man, I'm very sorry to see and hear this, man this really sucks big time. The weather around here has been crazy the last few days, all you see on the news around here is accidents from black ice.

     

    Is your SS fixable? I sure hope so, would really hate to see it being written off as a total lose. Keep us all posted.

  3. Need Opinion

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted

    I was just curious to know what some of your thoughs are with the cars I'm looking at getting as a daily driver. I was thinking maybe either someone here might have one, or knows someone who does and could pass on their thoughts of it.

     

    I am currently looking at the Toyota 4Runner and the Hummer H3, I am also looking at the Chevy TrailBlazer or GMC Envoy too. Now keep in mind, I'm a young, single guy and like to have something thats sporty looking and I like sitting up higher. I currently have a Chevy Blazer ZR2 and I like it and love the ground clearance, but its just to small for me anymore.

     

    So I like how the H3 and the 4Runner have a nice ground clearance, and both are sporty looking with just the right amount of space inside. I also like the TrailBlazer/Envoy but cant stand the lower ground clearance and when sitting in it, it feels like something a soccor mom would drive and not some young guy.

     

    So as of now the 4Runner is winning with the size and practical use it has and I was just curious to know what anyone thinks of any of the cars I've mentioned and has any feed back on them with thoughs and so forth.

     

    Thanks for any info you guys/gals can give me. :cheers:

    Congrats man. That must be a great feeling to be debt free now!

     

    Ya, the feeling is really good. Now I was thinking of getting a new daily driver and have been looking at Toyota 4Runners, but now I'm starting to think twice of it and just save my money and maybe start doing some things around the house and put the car stuff on hold for now. But there again, I really have that 'new car bug'... :happysad:

    Well as of 10:30am this morning, I officially own my SS out right. :ughdance:

     

    God it feels good to be debt free. The sad part is that I'm looking to get a new daily driver now. Oh well.

     

    What mods are next months truck payment going towards? :D

     

    Its funny you ask that question. I was thinking of getting some chrome rims for the ride. I like things to look stock, so I was thinking of getting stock SS chrome wheels. I'll have to search around here for some, would rather buy off you guys then ebay.

  10. Some Prick hit my truck

    in General SS

    Posted

    I got home from work this evening to see that my passenger mirror folded in some and just thought some damn kid folded it in to be a prick. Well when I walked over to fix it I see that there is paint missing and white paint streeks in the black paint. So some ass driving to close to parked cars some how must of hit their mirror off of mine, would have to be another truck to be able to reach mine.

     

    So I called the police just to have a report and said to not bother sending a cop out, but one showed up at my front door anyways. I informed him what I found and he said they got 3 calls stating someone in a white truck was driving up and down the streets going way to fast and one person said the truck almost hit two parked cars, so he asked me if I had seen anything. Informed the officer that I had just got home from work but that there is white paint all over the side of my passenger mirror. So he took a look and wrote it up and said he will see if he can track down that truck and see if my black paint is on that white one and charge them.

     

    I dont expect to get anything out of this, nor for them to even find the ass. What is really pissing me off the most is how everyone anymore are just such assholes.

    Sorry the car is so dirty, have had a lot of snow and rain the past month. But you can see some of the missing paint and now thats what I'm going to see once I wash and detail it in the next few weeks.

  11. Pittsburgh Penguins

    Take it no one here is a hockey fan. Anyways, yes Lemieux spent his entire career with the Pens in this city, you would think he would be fighting to stay instead of being an ass. If the teams leaves this city, it is going to have a major impact to everyone. I guess you have to live here to understand what this all means, and I dont think there are many people in the PGH area on this board anymore other then me anymore. :(

    Okay, I think everyone out there has heard of the Pens before. In case no one knew this, Pens owner Mario Lemieux and his parterns are fighting with the city of Pittsburgh for a new arena. After talks for the past 3 months, money hog Lemieux is going towards moving the Pens away from the city. This is such total BS, after what all this city has done for him, he turns his back on us now.

     

    You dont have to live in Pittsburgh to know the Pens go with this city. This so pisses me off that Lemieux is trying to fight by moving the team. Here is the latest in the local paper:

    I'm just really pissed about this all right now. :mad:

    Man, I'm real sorry to hear this happened to you, it sucks as& big time. Thank god I haven't had mine keyed yet but if it did, I would be just like you in wanting to kill someone. Like others have said here, people in this world now are just the most ignorant they ever wore, and get worse each day. I'm trying to keep my calm right now because this subject is a touchy one with me, I can feel my heart getting ready to start pounding more now, so I'm going to end my comments.

  21. Factory Warranty

    in General SS

    Posted

    Sounds like a good deal ON A GM MAJOR GUARD EXTENDED WARRANTY, don't buy it if is not a GM ext'd warranty!!! How much was the deductible qouted to you? GM has has anything from $0-$200 dollars available on deductibles. Also, if your truck is still under the factory 3yr/36,000 warranty an electrical problem (rear veiw mirror) should still be a covered warranty item. Call the GM 800 number in the back of your owners manual, they should tell you the same thing.....

     

    I was just told that it extends the factory bumper to bumper and no deductible was ever said, I was just told that its still the same warranty thats on it now from GM and still also includes free rental and road assistance. Guess you guys have helped me come up with some questions to ask.

    I didn't think of this till I was driving into work this morning, but does this extended warranty add an additional 36k miles, or is it just 3yrs or 36k which ever comes first? Mine just turned 15k yesterday and I would hate to think that I would only be getting another 14950 more miles added to the warranty.

     

    The way it works is 3/36, whichever comes first, but they determine when it expires from the time you buy it.

     

    So, if your truck has 20K miles on it, and you buy it next month, it's only good for 3 years from next month, and until 56K miles, whichever comes first.

     

    My dealer explained it pretty clear to me that there was no overlap from the existing warranty when buying an extended one. So, if buying one is what you're considering, wait until you're close to the end of your current warranty before you buy. :thumbs:

     

    Okay, so then this should all work out how I want it to then. The original one expires on March 15th, so I'll go in a day or two before that day to extend it. :driving:

    I just had my truck in the dealer this evening for state inspection and to have my broken mirror looked at, and the instrument panel looked at. The state inspection went well (only put 3200 miles on this past year) and my service guy said he needs to order a new passenger side mirror (the heater has been broken for a few months now) and he said they did a test on my instrument panel and found some defects in it, so they also ordered a new one of those as well.

     

    So anyways, he introduced me to someone to talk with about my factory warrenty, which expires in March. They said that I could extend my bumper to bumper factory warrenty for another 3yrs/36k miles for $1195.

     

    Do you think this is a good price to add another few years, or pass?

    Has anyone else extended their warranty and thankful they did? Or do you think it was a wast of money?
