Not worth the extra $$, and hassle when it something goes wrong.

We found a Red Jewel 07 here in OKC exactly what we were looking for. Sunroof, cloth seats, 2wd. I just can't get her to commit right now. She is saying wait till after Christmas. I told her it could be Christmas if we got it now.

Good thing she's not as impulsive as I am. She's the one that balances me out.

Patience. She'll come around. I test drove 3 until I found the one that I wanted. I bought the 2wd version sun and sound package. I liked it better than the awd. I'm a auto technician and I see all the add on's go bad all the time (eatc, heated and cooled seats and all other bells and whistle). I didn't want to deal with all that, I just want to drive it.

get yours tuned without the tq management and some long tubes you will be good to go! i just love those things lowered over the 22" replicas!! SICK!!

menace, I'm looking to change to the LS1 fan setup, new pcm and tcm , PCMforless tune and Ieatsrt8 intake. My warranty just ran out, so I'm saving for those mods now. My wife is pregnant with our second child and we're saving to build a house now. It seems everytime I spend money on any of my many toys, the budget police(my wife) say OH NO NOT AGAIN! SMACK! WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? lol For now I just enjoy it the way it is.

Oh your a funny guy!

*highperf4x4* · 09-03-2009, 10:06 PM

Actually I don't even know if my thread is alive anymore. All I've done since I installed the seats is pulled a couple of pieces of trim off.

Of course, I loaned my truck to pops for a while.

JohnC · 09-04-2009, 08:22 AM

Hell we wonder sometimes if your still alive. Working is really cutting into your fun time man.

I know, it sucks. Speaking of work, I'm gonna stop by and pick up some more of that krylon pretty soon for my lawn chairs.

glock35ipsc · 09-05-2009, 08:10 PM

*highperf4x4* · 09-05-2009, 08:57 PM

JohnC · 09-07-2009, 02:39 PM

There's nothing to take pics of. It's parked in the garage with a bed full of stuff, and a few parts off the engine laying underneath it. Other than that just a lot of dust.

*TheSebring* · 09-07-2009, 03:04 PM

Yeah he's definitely been keeping it under wraps because every day for the last month at precisely 14:06:31 P.M., I've been riding by with the window down and my paintball gun. Nothing so far.
