Holding its own, no problem.

Thx man. Tough in these parts with so many supercars and K2XX models everywhere. Buuuutttt they all be stock!! And dirty AF!!

Lookin good, still holding on strong to the #1 spot as my favorite nbs tahoe:boobs:

I'm the same way. If I'm taking something apart for the first time I'll clean it spotless with a toothbrush before I reinstall it. If it needs paint, flat or semi gloss black , grey/silver/etc, I'll sand it and shoot it real quick. OCD is a real disease, and mine is a stage 5 :uhoh2:

Thx man. It's hard to dial back the need to detail everything. lol

Topped up with 93 and a fresh wash after the rain. 10.6MPG without the tow/haul button engaged for that tank in the city. Grrr...too many snowbirds already clogging the roads and stop and go everywhere this time of year.

Going to Cracker Barrel last night in Broward County I was surrounded by K2XX's..Yes the bulk of them were filthy. Most were white..I see a ton of K2XX's in gridlocked Miami Beach. The ones there are a lot cleaner. The bulk of them are Uber and rentals but there are a lot of private owned ones. Seems I see more K2XX's on the road everyday here.

You probably have the cleanest vehicles in South Florida.

Ton of 'em up this way too. Two of my coworkers have one. Both female. One is lifted on 35's, other one is stock.

Nice. Yeah I drive a rental long body as my DD for work. Keeps the miles off the 06, which is nice, but I do usually drive it for extra curricular activities after work with the kids.

Funny story right here. Playing lacrosse with my daughter in the front yard. The ball bounced under the Tahoe and disappeared. No way that ball got stuck in the under carriage, right?

Sure as heck did. Managed to hit the driveway and go up and wedged itself on top of the frame under the passenger door on the drivers side.

A one off change that would happen as that ball is seriously bouncy.

We couldn't believe it when I crawled under and found it there. She was worried it would get stuck and cause damage. Good thinking Batgirl!!

Odd looking angle, but laying on my back and taking the picture up and to the left.

Going through some old photos and found these trucks.

This is circa early 1980's from Woodinville, Washington. Mom's yellow and white Suburban with tan vinyl seats and floorboards IIRC. Dad's green and white plumbing work pick up. Too young to know any of the details about these trucks. For a while we had an El Camino in the driveway as well.

My younger brother's Z71. He had a few trucks, but did not take care of them.

A 1 ton dually with a 454 that he romped on everywhere and a 1995 Red Yukon that went to college and had the crap driven out of it.

My 1994 4x4 Chevrolet 1500 Extended Cab. Grey cloth interior. Limo tint. Killer bug guard lol. Put an 8" sub under the rear seat and IIRC had a Sony detachable face CD player.

Later I put the cap on it from my brother's black Z71 (had it color matched of course) with a killer padded and carpeted bed kit that had storage and made the whole thing a comfortable bed for camping.

Was a really cool option when living in Arizona as we spent a lot of time exploring the dirt roads as you can see from this pick it is pretty muddy. I spent a lot of time keeping it clean as well. I bought it new, but only had it for about 10k miles, then sold it to some older guy in town when I moved out of the country.
