Awesome International-Harvester spot, dfelt!! All the classics are hibernating this winter around me in south NJ. Last Saturday the next town over had their annual St. Patrick's Day Parade, which usually sees a local classic car club make thier first appearance for the year. With the amount of snow and subsequent salt on the roads this winter (in addition to numerous pot holes), only two classics showed up - a '67 Mustang Fastback and an AC Cobra kit car. On the way to work this morning, heading on I-295 North was a car carrier with two 2014 Acadia SLTs and two 2015 Tahoe LTs (white and black). The GMC dealership in Lawrenceville received their first 2015 Yukon, a white one that's either a SLE or SLT - but I can't tell if its a regular or XL model the way it's parked.

I haven't left ever! Welcome back, Sal!

I can't say I hate it... I like it better than the Cherokee though. "It's... it's smiling at me!" - that;s my reaction to the front end styling. Not sure I like the headlights/grille at this time.

Dash Kits and Aftermarket Accessories - Yea or Nay
GMTruckGuy74 replied to Rvinyl.com's topic in The Lounge
I changed my tires to all-terrain ones on my Envoy and bought the GMC accessory all-weather floor mats, does that count as modding? I've added some decals too (fire dept related), and mounted a blue emergency light to the roof rack for my fire police volunteer duties. The wife's G6 Sedan I had professional window tinting done, and unfortunately the dealer added their wonderful "tape" pinstripe to the car before we saw it (and it figures the wife likes it - I had the dealer who put it on my CPO Envoy remove it before I took delivery). I tend to be a purist, I typically like my vehicles the way they came from the factory. I saw a "Pep Boys" dipped Ram 1500 today - even had flesh-colored super huge 'truck nuts' dangling from the back. Added chrome trim everywhere you could think of on the body, plus more air spoilers than I ever saw on a '70s Trans Am. These types of people have no taste in my opinion. And those that add the canvas roof to their plebian sedan (aka Toyotas). Glad to see Cadillac and Buick dealers move away from this option, but I guess with Toyota's average age buyers being from the late baby boomer generation I guess these aftermarket companies follow the sheep wherever they buy from However, I am a fan of factory-authorized accessories. When I purchase my next new pickup, whether it be Sierra or Canyon, I plan to add a factory tonneau cover, rubber bed mat and the bed dividers to prevent items from rolling all around. Aftermarket items I may consider the WeatherTech all-weather floor covering, though I'm not a fan of plastic on the floors (slippery with wet feet) and all-terrain tires since I like a beefier looking tire on a pickup (I'm going SLT with the Canyon and the 18" tires are Goodyear Wrangler that look more street than the All-Terrain trim's BF Goodrich All Terrain tires). -
That's awesome, Drew! Thanks for risking the scolding of the security guard for our enjoyment. Cubical, Hess Gas Stations are all over the eastern coast. They're annual holiday toy is quite desirable, though some collectors are complaining that they are more kid-intended in design and features nowadays.

What's the MSRP on this SLT Yukon? I saw a silver '15 Yukon XL SLT at the Philly Auto Show yesterday. Pretty awesome looking SUV, though this go-around I prefer the shorter wheelbase model (Yukon vs. XL).

A Japanese couple is having an argument over ways of performing highly erotic sex: Husband: Sukitaki. Wife replies: Kowanini! Husband says: Toka a anji rodi roumi yakoo!

As if you understand Japanese! Unbelievable! I knew you would read anything as long as it is about sex. You need help!! - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - A friend sent me that in an email today

The darker school bus yellow used by GM on it's pickups in the late '60s/early '70s is one of my favorites, especially when paired with white (two-tone).

I'd go with the second option, buy a 4WD vehicle (aka Jeep Wrangler), and wait for the right "toy" to come along in a little while. Concentrate on getting your daily driver first, then your play toy later.

Cars of the '70s, Decade of Disaster or Delight?

As much as a Pontiac guy that I am (for cars), I'd have to say one of my favorite '70s cars is the 1976 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Coupe: -
Cars of the '70s, Decade of Disaster or Delight?
GMTruckGuy74 replied to axlon's topic in The Lounge
Pontiac Trans Am, Grand Am, Grand Prix, Can Am are all '70s cars I admire from that decade. I'm a fan of the other '73-'77 Colonade cars too - namely the Buick Century & Regal and Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. However, what seals the deal for me are GM's trucks from '70-'79. I'll take any year GMC Sierra please -

GMC News: GMC Might Get Its Own Vehicle In The Future
GMTruckGuy74 replied to William Maley's topic in GMC Trucks
As a GMC enthusiast, I hope this different model is worth it. If it was up to me, I would have given the Cadillac Escalade EXT to GMC instead (imagine the popularity of the Denali model). I could never figure out why the "truck" brand didn't get a version? I'm glad to see that General Motors is finally realizing that there is a need for a GMC-specific model not shared with Chevrolet. But I'm curious what it will be (and frankly, after waiting for the reveal of the Canyon, have little patience to wait for this news).- 23 replies
