Just talk her into getting a fully rebuilt gmt800 Escalade and be done with trips to the shop lol.

These new vehicles have more problems than any before. Well domestic that is , which is embarrassing for America, like wtf are we doing? Spend 6 figures on a truck just to have it crap out. And not like oh the sub plug broke , no it’s more like the entire engine seized and need to be replaced after 15k miles. Then all these imported vehicles don’t come with major issues and have a 7-10 yr factory warranty while American manufactures are still using 3-5 yr warranties.

:Rant over:
I agree it’s sad how insanely unreliable new cars have been the last 5 years…. But people are dumb and just keep spending money on new cars that only last a few years and miles….. so the consumer is shut as much to blame as the manufacturers for putting out crap builds. I seriously don’t see any reason to get rid of my 2006 lol. Not enough money in the world to make me wanna give it up for a new one right now

I did see ram is offering a 10/100k for only the 2026 models. I regret not buying a ram in 2009 , they had a lifetime warranty. Neither were transferable so it wouldn’t have to be the original owner but it’s still pretty good. Ford , GM , Toyota , Nissan would never offer a standard 10/100k

So I installed it so it sits as far back into the double din cage as possible so I can fit the oem bezel back on it. But first I had to track down a bezel that wasn’t $100+ because I wasn’t about to hack my mint bezel. Found one locally for $30
As you can tell without cutting the opening it blocks out part of the screen.

Still had to go a little higher , was trying not to go into the body line but I had no choice. Still not done but I have to think of how to make it look more finished. Have a few ideas since I always do things nobody has done before so I have to make it up as I go and see if the vision pans out or a huge waste of time.

Also pics of my neighbors friends truck he just got back from being rebuilt in Mexico. All stock except paint.

Had to do it. This time for real. Opt7 rgb underglow. Was looking at the “truck” specific kit and I didn’t like the measurements. So I went with the “rv” specific kit. I used the 2 48” for front and back and 2 36” on each side for a corner to corner coverage. It’s crazy cause these pics actually look like ai lol. Some GTA5 vibes lol

I knew the picture was fake cause my OCD could tell the side tread designs didnt match. How bout taking all this money you are spending on the inside and underside glow and spend the money on some wheels? https://oewheelsllc.com/
I can’t cause I spent all my money on underglow :doh2:
I am tired of these wheels tho. But that’s not priority. I have a pool filter that need to be replaced and my ac just took a shit today.

I started riding back when a jockey clutch and tank shift were what I got when buying a used Harley. Stuff don't fall off the front fender when the bike is laid over.

And no, a "suicide clutch" is not the same as a jockey clutch.

I do like the clean looking springer front end though. The chromed springers, look like crap.

I’ve always had sport bikes. But I’m looking to get a cruiser.
