What do you drive?

2007 Harley-Davidson, Electra Glide Classic

Also, my wife drives a 2001 (maybe?) Honda Civic

Just sold my wife's '01 Civic and bought a '07 Town & Country. I wasn't a fan but it's for her so...

I drive an '05 Malibu.

what do you think of your truck? i have an 03 ram 1500 4x4 quad cab on wide 18's that gets about 10 mpg. it has been my work/personal truck and its getting ready to die so i'm gonna sell it. i'm 90% sure i'm gonna get a 07 gmc not sure if i'm going to go with the 2500 or the 1500, i may just beef up a 1500

I love it. In 2007 there were the Classic model (old style) and the new style. Mine is the new style extended cab z71. At times I wish mine were a crew cab so if you need the room I'd go that route. I have the 6.0L gas engine in mine and it gets around 12-17 depending on my driving habits. If I could choose again I would have went with the Duramax. I like the 6.0, but the diesel would've been sweet. Like every 3/4 ton I've ever seen, it rides like a tank. I've been told the crew cabs ride a little smoother because they're not as rigid.

In the end if what you do requires a heavy duty pickup I'd definitely go with a 2500 over a 1500. I've never once looked at my truck and wished it was a half ton. Hope this helps and if you get one post up pics!

Which car do you mostly enjoy terrorizing the road with? The minivan or the Pontiac? It has to be tough to choose between wide-body and speed.

Depends on the defensive tactic I want to employ that day. The minivan is better for bangin down low and taking a charge. But the Pontiac is better for guarding the perimeter and stopping the drives down the center of the lane.

07 4runner wife has 09 acura rdx, love both cars!

2003 Chevy Tahoe, loaded to the gills. only 60000 miles on it. great vehicle

Yeah, the longer the wheelbase, the softer the ride. Load the bed and it'll smooth out, too. :silly:

I'd love to find a 03-07 (classic), 4x4, black, 3/4 ton, extended cab, long bed with the 8.1 and either the Allison or the manual. That's the truck I'm hoping will pop up one day on Craigslist. The Duramax is a beast of an engine, but it's hard to justify the $5-7k premium unless you are towing all the time.

The 6.0 in your truck is an awesome engine. The GenIII small blocks are all very well engineered and you should get a lot of life out of it. I'm probably going to swap a 5.3 into the truck I listed in my first post, above. They are very popular swaps for a wide variety of vehicles (RX7, older BMWs, Corvettes, Camaros, Mustangs etc).

Don't ask me how but you made me remember two things I don't like.

1. Torque management. As soon as my drivetrain warranty is up I'm getting a BlackBear tune and taking it down.

2. the GM 6 Speed automatic. Nothing too bad like erratic shifting, but I will never get used to my truck shifting so much. It changes gears constantly around town and is kinda annoying.

For #1, you could probably get a tuner that you can remove TM with and then reprogram the computer if you need to take it in for work.

If your truck has a tow/haul mode, try using it. It should hold the shifts longer and the computer will not allow the transmission to shift so often (up or down).

Nice..I've had a 2003 Nissan Altima SL for 7 years and it hasn't let me down. I have done all the maintenance stuff and it works like a charm. The only issue is my sun roof doesn't open anymore. The dealer said it would cost $400 to replace the motor on it but I don't care enough to fix it.

Does it still come with a nice Bose sound system?

Yeah it's a great car. I got all the bells and whistles. Had too. I'm too much of a gadget guy not too. It has a 9 speaker Bose audio system, XM, leather, sunroof, iPod dock, bluetooth, the little camera that comes on the display screen when you're in reverse, digital climate control.. It's a lotta fun. Very good car. And so damn smooth.
