It's interesting like some weird rod and custom one off stealth fighter theme vehicle. But driving one everyday? Nah, dog. Not to mention it's not a real truck because electric.

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times

It seems like a regular C8 with the proper options at 80k or so in a fun color is a far better bet. Flat crank be damned. Deep 6 figures for a WETTE+ attempting to send someones children for private school for 3 years is not my idea of fun. Public school + big bad Vette sounds like the correct answ...

that makes sense IF ITS LEAKING / BROKEN. Ripping out a perfectly functioning HVAC system is borderline insanity. Pricing is better now than it would be in the middle of the summer. I dunno man.

10 years old with 100k are $25k-$30k. Msrp was "only" like $65k back then too. They're pretty much the safest bet for a luxury product there is. What's what I am saying ... the used market is still too hot. This will not maintain going forward. Most of the country won't be buying 100k beh...

Rapidly? Nah. The American Leviathan is in strong demand all the time. Well the starting point is like 80-90k for a Yukon... at year 10 they are probably 10k... so I'd say it's a painful trip to mordor that costs 1/2 a CC(cartel Condo). Nah. https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicle/70948934...

I have a friend with the 2021 5.3/10 speed Tahoe Premier I have a 2019 6.2/10 speed Tahoe Premier Plus. I think the major question in the 2021+ is do you want to go diesel or gas? If you have the garage length I would just get the sub the 2021+ Tahoe is almost as long. They are nice trucks, but you...

bob's oil guy forms like it, suspect its just repackaged Rotella T. Im sure it will be fine at 5k intervals and 7 liters capacity.
