I just traded in my 2012 Suburban for a new one and after four years here is the equivalent list...

replace one daytime running light bulb (last week)

They don't make them like they used to!?!? Thank God!
Amen, brother! My 129,000 mile 2008 Sierra Denali has needed VERY little besides mostly self-inflicted stuff.

Unfortunately the newer vehicles are SO reliable and trouble-free that it's killing my auto repair business!

Chris, you're right - it is cool just as it is. Check out the interior complete with Tiger Tail hanging on the rear view mirror!

O.K. - so yes, I'm always shopping. Here's the story. Beth and I took the 'Vette up to Bowling Green again this year for the National Corvette Museum Bash. One of the tours we signed up to do this year included a stop by "GTO Heaven". How could I resist that, right?

Here is the Vette by the front door.


Turns out the place is owned by a guy affiliated with the NCM and he has collected a bunch of old muscle cars and motorcycles, along with a bunch of other automotive memorabilia. The Carousel 69 is waiting to be restored - not currently for sale. There were several clones and a few real Judges inside. (No Lucy Blue 71 though ) We made a great connection with the guy and who knows where it might lead.

Here are some more pics from inside the place.

Drag racing. An adrenalin rush like no other. It felt like going into combat, tasting your first beer, and losing you virginity, all in about 8 seconds.

Great color combo on this 71 GTO Judge convertible, well optioned, but is an open axle car.

Well now that's different. No way he can hold all that power with one wheel. I wonder if the original owner even considered that. You'd think the dealership salesman would have told him when ordering the car that it was going to need a posi.

I think a lot more cars were ordered without limited slip than we realize.

I can tell you just over 45% of 1970 Road Runners had it, and that vehicle was a pure performance car.

Sometimes there are stories like the buyer being told by the salesman that it was standard, but when the car arrives at the dealership, it appeared that the salesman was wrong.
