:dat:

I've already looked into the mirrors and door handles, they make chrome kits, so, I'm hoping I can find someone on a forum who wants to swap pieces. The mirrors and lower bumper piece wouldn't look bad in gunmetal, with the grill and door handles body matched. But that's custom body shop shit, IDK, we'll see.

I am also going to get a set of the Canyon All Terrain package wheels to put on there, I like them a lot more than the ones that come on the SLT, and they're 17" vs. 18"
They look like this:

In your defense the hurricane delayed any kind of car deals for at least a year. 500k vehicles with heavy insurance pay outs funding them is a huge demand spike that will clear out any kind of decent vehicles

I'm subject to the :dill: s that are available when the :truk: arrives, so it's a roll of the dice.
Hopefully it falls on the end of October, early November, so I can choose between the two.

I'll be fine paying for it as is, I'm more interested in financing offers, 0% would be :tits:

HAH ok I totally forgot you had the S10. I just remember you and your brother had hard on for the :doge: and I remember a Ranger being in the mix there somewhere.
That was when I was there with another forum guy, 92SonomaST I think his name was. I got the Blazer down to 16 flat consistently but couldn't break into the 15s. There were no other 4 doors on the forums down to 16 flat, so I was happy with that. I think that thing weighed over 4K pounds. I was digging for my birth certificate last night and found a whole slew of time slips from NPR and even the track at Eunice. I ran tests between different sets of rims and found out that those Xtreme rims slowed me down by half a second.

Let me preface this by saying, I went to both, stated I wasn't going to buy, and just wanted to look.
I am a polite :melon:

GMC:
Went and test drove an SLT (Which I'm considering)
And talked numbers, with options and the possibility of ordering.
After about 15 min, I had talked to 4 different sales managers, and before I left, I had to say "No, I'm just looking." several times.
:dillerman: trying to :dill: hard.
When I was leaving I was surrounded by 4 sales managers.
:bruh: :dillerman: pushing the hard :dill:
Not super annoyed, just super pushy.

I left and went to a Chebby :dillerman:

Chevy:

Same speal, I said I just wanted to look in a Z71, see how much I liked the interior, and trim.
Salesman and I walk out, he's bitching about his hurt foot, sorry breh, take the golf cart?

We get in the truck, I look around, and play with the Infotainment, basic bitch shit.
He gives me a few options on the packages, and I goto shake his hand, and thank him for his time.
Me: Let me get your card, so I can get in tough with you
Him: Man! I ain't got no cards, it's Saturday, I'm out here to sell cars!

He rushed out, and then walked off to talk to another customer.

:bruh: I am a :disappoint: :melon:
O wow. Can there be no middle ground?
