I've had the itch lately to buy something new, but that would never involve getting rid of the SS. I bought that truck brand new off the showroom floor 7yrs ago and have never owned anything this long before. I've always traded my things in after 2yrs but this one is a keeper. When I paid the SS off 4yrs ago I went and bought a one year old 4Runner and now thats paid off. Buying the 4Runner was my best decision ever as I have never put a cent into it and the thing is still going strong like a brand new car, and still looks new. The trade in value of it is around 16k which could allow me to buy a nice GMC Denali, but I also still really like my 4Runner and love the no payment thing. I only drive the SS on weekends and sometimes a month or more will go by before I drive it again and I think at times that maybe I should sell it to someone who would drive it more then me, but then I get into it and start it up and drive it out the driveway with a big smile on my face and all of the negative thoughts go away.

Which is why this is my current goal. : ) Congrats on paying the SS off, it's a fantastic feeling, know I sure was excited when I paid mine off a few years ago. I will be making my last car payment on my DD in a few weeks and I can't wait!

A buddy of mine has that same exact one, only in silver. Sweet ride but I still could never trade the SS in on one. Good luck with the new ride, you will love it.

He has this listed as a installed option: BUILT IN BATTERY CHARGER UNDER THE HOOD What is this? Think he really has a engine block heater like I do but thinks its a battery charger?

Sorry to hear, that sucks. Storage Wars is the show and it's on A&E. New episodes start in a couple weeks. Ya, I watch the show.

I ride all summer long. The last 5 months or so when I can get out (weather permitted) I just ride around the neighborhood. I'm looking forward to nice weather to start hitting the trails. I normally go to a local park that has 30 miles of trails through the woods, some are real intense while others are just right for me. I am not into jumping or anything like that, so I ride the more medium level trails. And as for my dirtbike, it's sat in my garage now for 3yrs without being touched. I tried to start it up last summer only to find I left gas in it so now the carb is all messed up and I dont know how to take it apart to clean it. : (

Are you for real?

Well I do not like the sport at all but I have to go with the Steelers. I do live in Pittsburgh and it would be good for out city to have another win.

I think the heaviest item I've had in mine was a stack able washer/dryer combo. I have a bedrug but still used think heavy blankets to cover things up.

Stupid.

Thats what I was thinking too.

Agree, the GMC looks way better then the Chevy. I would love to buy a new GMC as a DD, but don't want car payments right now.

Mint huh? Then whats it doing in the garbage?

All I have to say to you is GO TO HELL! Begging for help and then sh$%ing on everyone like you are so god damn much better then everyone else. Hope your special truck gets hit by a garbage truck tomorrow.

I have my eyes on a 46" Samsung LED thats internet ready but cant commit to the price tag just yet. I never heard any complaints about picture quality with blu-ray on LED.

This is what I got for Christmas too.

I still have all original stickers and that stupid tag hanging from the glove box. : ) Someone pretended that they were going to take it off once and I almost broke their hand. I also still have the plastic wrap stuff on some of the parts in the back seat area. I don't remember what my MSRP price says on my window sticker, its between 42 and 43k and mine came with every single option available including engine block heater.

I don't know, the brake pedal and tires look good to me, just has some mud on them. I still have the factory tires and mine do not look anywhere near as good as those. Also, look at the leather on the drivers seat, it's so crisp and new looking without any folds or cracks from someone sitting on it. Looks like it could be legit to me.

This is what I'm working on. : )

I got one from shopman and painted the inside of the SS black myself and it all still looks good 6yrs later.

I'm sorry for your loss, unfortunately I know what you are going through.

I think it looks dumb.

This.

I remember about 80% of that stuff. Why wasn't super mario brothers mentioned in that list? I used to watch the TV show that was on back then, or was this late 80's? I still have the original nentendo with just about every game for it and I also have the very first Atari from 1980 with all of its original games. I remember when my parents bought that game system, we played that thing non stop all day long.

Smart trade. I just saw these on Motorweek week last week, they are sick! Congrats and good luck and please post more pics!
