Carlisle truck nationals were fun, No sightings of Tony Angelo... and no issues from the truck other than Cheapo rebuilt alternator decided it couldn't output anymore than 12V with nothing but the radio on, made it all the way to the hotel just had to run with the AC off. Swapped it out for a...

I'm not sure exactly what paint I got, just went to the local paint shop gave them the original paint code and ask for a single stage. Both colors are technically fleet colors "frost white" being just a basic white, and "Argent grey" being a steel wheel color. The guy at the shop looked at me...

We got the Hilux in the states, or at least a US market version called the Tacoma, they are literally a cult truck here fetching insane prices for clean examples because folks want them as off-road rigs. The standard version of these things the GM S-Series trucks are the closest thing we had...

Oops forgot some pictures.

After having my G8 deemed a total loss, and them wanting more money than the sum of parts was worth to me.. I've gone back to daily driving my original project car a 1992 GMC Sonoma GT #70 of 806 made. I've also been spending a lot of money trying to get it ready for a an upcoming truck show...

Not even gonna lie, I forgot our steering wheel was on the wrong side So I guess I'll figure out if they fit or not when I get a SS But essentially the G8 came with the l76 for the GT version I had and LS3 in the much more expensive and sought after GXP. And the SS ONLY came with the LS3 in...

I've lived in Ohio 23 years and I don't think I've ever been to Findlay other than passing through going to Toledo Good to know, the Chevy SS forums said G8 headers don't fit. But that just didn't make sense to me. Don't have an issue buying the right part, but if I can reuse the ones I...

My G8 (VE) just got totaled by insurance and I'm buying it back to use the engine/transmission in another project and part out the car. Last year I just installed Stainless Works headers on it and I'm just curious if the VE headers will fit on a VF. I read the oil cooler gets in the way, which...

The parts were in fact mine....being sent back to the dealer. insurance changed the estimate to over $9,000 in repairs and is totaling the car. the shop has gotten frustrated with me because insurance has had him order the parts and send them back twice, incurring a restock fee both times...

Haven't heard anything from the shop or insurance yet, but I stopped by the shop today to drop off the insurance check. And right inside the door was a pile of parts that looked as though they had just been delivered and like they were for my car. Specifically the spare tire well and what looked...

Oh I'm sure somewhere there has the part in stock, but I Think trying to get the rear end of the car shipped over id fall into a similar issue of waiting on the part to arrive. It would be a freight item since it's the whole rear section of sheet metal behind the bumper cover.

Well the last update I got from the shop and insurance was march 28th. the "rear body panel" 92292436 is on backorder with an ETA in June. NOT the already discontinued "rear floor pan extension" 92220661 shop called and let me know insurance should just total it since its going to be sitting...

You know, having driven a Camry for a month... I get it... Your brain just kinda turns off behind the wheel... First car I've ever gotten motion sick driving it

Well good news is repairs were approved last week at a little over $6,000 in damages... Rental car went back yesterday and I had to switch over to my Sonoma that is only supposed to go to car shows here's to hoping I get my car back soon.
