Default New Truck

well it was delivered today! no pics yet but i'll get some tomorrow. i didnt plan on buying new but i found that i get supplier pricing through gm so i figured why not!!!

long story short i sold my cheap dd 06 4.3 rcsb in january and bought a 2008 STI... apparently the previous owner thought he was a wannabe ken block because the ebrake took twice the effort the manual calls for to stop the car from rolling down my driveway and if that isnt better than 1800 miles after i get it it spins a rod bearing.... and subaru has the nerve to even consider not warranting it. once i found out what a longblock for one costs($11,800) i decided i needed to get rid of it as soon as subaru puts a new motor in it and get back in a GM truck.

I literally traded the car last week to a dealer who was cool enough to do the whole deal sight unseen and today once i got my car back from warranty the dealer brought me my truck and took the car. i was lucky enough to only lose 1200 from what i paid for the car in january. so i'm happy with the deal.


now to the part that you guys care about. the truck is a 2010 white ccsb lt, ebony leather, factory 20's(could care less for em honestly), and the WHOLE reason i decided to pull the trigger on a NEW truck.... 6.2/6l80 ! ! !

i'll post some pics tomorrow.

on the to do list:
-3/5 drop
-painted door handles and mirror caps
-sway bars
-VVT cam/headers/exhaust
-circle d stall
-paint matched hd front end along with rear bumper
-black 22" tbss wheels (once they are finally available in this bolt pattern
-shaved tailgate
-better tint
-spray bed liner
-LT2 console

(factory 20's w/ tires will be for sale as soon as the tbss wheels come out)

EDIT: pics added





(the only thing showing its a 6.2 since mine has the handling package and not the "max trailering package" option which gives it the vmax badge and the 3.73's) (oh and can anyone tell me where the damn usb port is... sticker says it has one but i cant find it anywhere?!?!)

I can't even look at a new truck b/c you "men" have made me too damn picky. And I won't settle for anything less than a Z06, CTS-V, or a 6.0 and 4L80E.

Oh, sorry...

I remember your last truck, lots of nice stuff.
