koopatroopa Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 So i doubt some of you will remember me but i posted something a long time ago on here about the story of the SSS that me or my family was potentially going to get here is the link for that http://www.silveradoss.com/forums/topic/71271-17-yr-old-with-an-sss-d/page__p__790584__fromsearch__1#entry790584 well there was some family troubles my uncle who was in charge with the selling the vehicles was going to sell it to someone who wasnt me or my dad so i freaked out went to the bank saw how big of a loan i could get as an 18yr old with no credit and works at McDonalds i ran into some problems there since the truck is salvaged and well sense i am so young but we finally found some holes and i was potentially going to get a student loan so i ask my uncle how much he wants gave him my price he said ok but i told him to keep it a secret from my daddy because i did not want him to know of the stupid thing i just did. then the next day i figured out that the guy who was going to buy it out bid then my dad out bid him so i maxed my loan out my dad then outbid me again so i start reaching into my savings (even a more stupid idea) and raised the price again and was at my max told my uncle that... two days later i come home to an empty house (my parents run a home business so they are rarely gone) i call my mom she doesnt answer no biggy i go take a nap and i am waken by a loud ass vehicle reving its engine (WTF) but i had to go work soon anyways get all dressed walk down stairs all ready to leave get my keys for my sonoma get out to my truck and my truck is sitting there and my dads suburban and the garage was closed which is odd and then the garage door opens and a deep V8 rumble comes bursting out of the garage that is now slowly opening and my dad is now standing at the front of the SS. now i didnt know how to feel should i feel happy that it is still in the fmily or mad because it is his and not mine but my dad then said "here you go you idiot" and this is when i figured out that my uncle broke are promise of not telling my dad of the stupid decisions i was making so i think my dad understood how much this truck meant to me so he saved his son from making big mistakes at a young age and bough the truck and gave it to me (well we share it) so i got to work 10 min late but i did not care because i have my dream truck and well they didnt care either because...well its McDonald's. so i am 18 have two trucks which one is my dream truck doing better in school this year have a steady girlfriend and job. my life could not be better!! couple days later i bring it to my auto service teacher who also wanted the truck. so he could help me decide all whats wrong with it and so i could rub it in his face and well that went great because he wanted the truck so bad that he offered me a 2005 bmw 5 series and a jeep of my choice(he has like seven) and i told him no but i guess that didnt get through to him because he went on to come on you are 18 cant afford this thing and you are probably just gonna wreck it. i came right back at hime all last year he made fun of my little sonoma and how its not a "real truck" and how i should put a V8 in it so i gow "you told me all last year that i needed a real truck so i went big and got a nice one" after many offers and bickering back and forth we decided what needed to be done and also what i want done and what he would do. (bringing it in the shop on tue. to fix the camber get rid of the sliding window get a trailer hitch in it and maybe for some new paint on the hood and tonnea cover) so in short i love my new SSS and hate it at the same time because i am not use to this 15mpg and premium gas but the sacrifices you have to make to be happy/cool! i guess i should also thank my dad who still has not told anybody else (my mom) of my stupid decision i was gonna make and giving me the truck. i took it out yesterday for the first snowfall were i live and took it out sliding and well i dont like doing that because its my baby the gas just seems to disappear also i do not like to see her dirty. so she is gonna be locked up now so she stays clean and rust free! just curious maybe its because i am a teenager that goes to highschool but do you guys always get challenged to do drag races at stop lights or is that just me the only person who has beat me is the kid who lives across the street from me who got a 2010 vortec maxx two days after the SS showed up now isn't that just good timing i think someone got jealous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverad0 SS Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) Lucky 15 mpg, for me it's diesel's!!!! There taking over my town, and I hate getting my ass handed to me by a 4wd long wheel base 4 door and lifted. I dont feel bad If it's a d-max, but a cummins and power stroke suck!

Just go get it aligned, or raise the keys back up, but if the keys have been dropped more then two inches you need lowering keys and maybe spindles, assuming the front has been lowered by keys?

f1ss Posted November 21, 2011 Report Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) I do remember your thread buddy, congrats on the gorgeous amazing truck. My biggest word of advice to you is keep the milage low and run that Sonama into the ground. Id be at 40k if I didnt drive around to friends houses showing my truck to them. If I were you I would stick with GMPP products (gmpp cai and borla exhaust). Dont go crazy until your bank roll allows. Congrats man, I am ciked to see you get the vehicle. My grandfather told me to get my truck 2 days before he passed as I took care of his grandmother from 2004 up till this past February. ps. Koopatroppa from Mario Kart? ps2. BMW has gone down the pooper since 99, tell him that. Ask about the N45 and N54 engines and he will be scared to talk about it. If you would like more info on why BMW and MB has been losing so many customers to Cadillac, feel free to contact me.

Bowser but i sense i am the youngest i dont feel king worthy and also cooper and koopa are close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
