    Commuter Sedan - What would you buy?

    I've been happy running older Impala's for the last 7 years. I put around 150k on the first one with minimal maintenance. I sold it with 320k as I found a good deal on another 2006 from an elderly guy who was the original owner, with only 100k on it. I regularly see these cars for sale with the...

    Princess auto sled lift

    I haven't had any issues wheeling the sled around the shop with it, as long as I keep it low to the ground. I wouldn't want to pull it around too far with it extended. It's certainly nice doing some clutch work or chaincase maintenance when its 3 feet in the air and I'm sitting on the shop stool.

    Princess auto sled lift

    I built these little extensions with some 1x1 steel tubing. Made a little 3x4 pad and riveted a chunk of rubber on where it contacts the running boards. Been using it like this for probably close to 10 years and sled is level and stable

    Mid-Sized SUV's

    I think the first generation 3.6L in the 07-09 acadia's were bad for timing chains..our 2016 was the 3rd generation of the 3.6 and it was good for us (only had 180k on it though when we traded). Wife's '23 traverse is another generation of the 3.6L so hopefully it'll be trouble free like her...

    Mid-Sized SUV's

    wife ran a 2016 Acadia since new and we never had any issues in the 180k we drove it. Had to do brakes, struts, and oil changes. She went with a new Traverse that we've had for just over a year now and its been great as well. Their 3.6L v6 is much better on fuel than historically now paired with...

    Humorous picture thread

    Oh man, restoring a hood for a 74 El Tigre and removing the factory vinyl decals was PAINFUL! I would have gladly paid her 50 bucks to remove them lol

    Buying new Vehicle

    ordered a chev SUV for the wife back in April and still haven't gotten it yet. I've been told it might actually be here this month. I'm more concerned whether it will have any of the options/micro chips it's supposed to have. I don't think the wife will want to trade her current vehicle in if...

    What did you do for your ATV today?

    kimpex prices are out to lunch. Can find those BFG's for almost half the price elsewhere. Just a quick look and Fortnine has 28's for example for 278 vs kimpex at 462
