The 5.3 was part of it. Most of the RCSB are 6 bangers, then a heavy portion of the V8s were the 4.8. Add in I wanted an LS with all of the power options really narrowed the choices down. After all of that criteria was met, try finding one that didn't have issues was difficult as well as the "nice" ones were asking stupid money. 30-50% over book, and they were selling fast. I found this one on Craigslist, met all of my requirements, made a deal and flew up and drove it back. A 2 owner truck that had been garage kept, well maintained, never wrecked. Bonus was the rear disk brake option (I never found another with them), already had a bed cover and spray in bed liner, true duals with a nice sound... everything I had planed on doing. It did need tires so I added the 2014 Silverado 18s, another CL steal ($500, tires had right about 15K on them) and I switched out the overhead console with one from a Tahoe that has homelink. Added an AirRaid intake tube and switched out the fuel sender.

I remember it now now. I believe you posted pics before in another thread. I remember the spoke wheels. Nice ride!

1969 Camaro, '72 and '97 Corvettes, and 2010 FX4 Super Crew Ford truck. Oh, and a couple of Harley's, while technically not a car or truck, still transportation... I have too much shit really...

Well, nothing exciting here, a 2008 Camry with 99K on the clock and a 2015 Nissan Sentra. I've pretty much lost interest in the car hobby although I'm still a race fan. I don't even have a garage now, so my Corvette days are behind me.

I'm glad I owned my muscle cars in the 70s when they were cheap. Good times and good memories.

In the order they are on Photobucket:

Company truck is 2015 F150 Lariat Ecoboost



2009 SL 63



2001 Coupe w/LS6 and a few light mods



2006 ZO6



2008 F350 with his friends

Make sure you do the trans maintenance on that Sentra. An extended warranty might be good insurance, too. Nissan employee for almost twenty years. Just sayin'.
Oh, sold the Miata today.

Yeah, we're leasing the Sentra and doing the maintenance by the book. Probably will buy it at the end of the lease. Thanks.

Nice.

I have the rear disc brakes but only the 4.8. I took out the center jumpseat/console and put in a Tahoe center console and a Tahoe overhead console. I added an MP3 input in the dash and had a few upgrades done to the transmission when it was rebuilt. I had the stripes added to the hood.

It is starting to show its age and I am on the fence about repairing or replacing. I had a notion to replace the 4.8 with a Corvette engine, but I am not sure that is something I could tackle. Mechanically, yes, but the programming and all the other crap is over my pay grade.

I drive it like a stolen rental with its azz on fire and it keeps on going. 185k on the meter.

What do you have to sell? And will you take barn bucks?

When somebody comes up to the C5 while I'm stopped I do my best straight face and tell them it's just the aftermarket exhaust.
Weeds out the gear heads in a hurry.

I was most impressed by a ~14 yr old kid that walked by me and said, "holy hell that's a big cam, what are the specs"?

All we have is my 2010 Acura MDX and my wife's new 2016 Mazda CX5. She really likes her CX5.

[Stevedore]

Boring here: 2014 Acura MDX & 2014 Toyota Highlander.

Sold my 98 C5 at the end of last summer. My wife thinks I should buy another one, but I doubt it.

[78SA]

Base '15 V6 Camaro.

The 'stable' has been pretty stable over the last few years. The only real change has been dividing them between the winter house in FL and the summer place in MI.

Long-term DD: 2001 Lexus LS430 (MI)

Retired (like me) dragstrip funmobile: 1972 El Camino big block (FL)

2002 Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa (FL)
