How much bigger did you go?
265/70 to 285/70 - not a big jump. 3.5%.
Yea...doubt you'll see a huge difference.

How many miles you walked now, :wap: ?
I've been walking approximately 4 miles a day overall, but today I'll be a little less. This high heat and humidity just kicks my ass these days. I just don't have the stamina yet to :dealwithit:

Oh man. RIP.

Hopefully no 30AE Miatas on there.
Unfortunately every single one except the one you could have kept.

No, I found a news article that shows photos of GM trucks too.

Those rail yards have vehicles from all makes at them. The train was probably a mix of a bit of everything.

Ahh, okay. That makes sense.

Hopefully it was new Silverado's so there are less we have to see on the streets.

We can only hope. Then those Jeeps gave their lives for an admirable purpose.

I wonder if there are any "slightly" damaged :jeep: on that train that insurance will write-off that could be sold for a super :dill: ?

Nah, insurance will write those all off and send them straight to the crusher. The liability is way too high.

This was my big fear when I ordered my C7's and the JL and they got on the train in Toledo. The thought of waiting for the build to happen and to clear to shipping only to get in an accident on the way out here.

I have a feeling a lot of people are going to be bummed out this week after they get a call from their dealer contact.

Meh, worse things could happen. They just have to wait a bit longer

Yea...especially since a lot of these seem to be launch edition Gladiators. These people were really looking forward to their trucks.

Yeah, so the question is..... does FCA rebuild more launch editions to replace these, or is the overall number just reduced? If they are rebuilt, do they re-use the xxx of xxx numbers?

Trucks aren't individually numbered...they just say one of 4,190. They're debating what to do now.

As that 4190 fake news anyways, they didn't really "sell out" it was just a bunch of "fake" :dillerman: orders. I am sure one will turn up.

4,190 was a real production number...the "sold out" thing was a bit...yea.

$5k off...and my guess is that the dealer is (incorrectly) advertising employee price on it. This is about how I'd option one (other than Orange), but it's an hour from my house. I should see if it's :fakenews: or not.

There is a white Sport S that has been sitting at a dealer near me for a few weeks now. I haven't gone to look and see if they have some ridiculous markup on it or not. Their website suggests that they don't with it being listed at $41,430, but who knows if a hand-written market adjustment is taped right next to the window sticker.
