Dropped off the Impala to get a Full Interior Detail including Shampoo and steam cleaning the seats, carpet and headliner.. I can't stand Cig smell in a vehicle. One thing i like about GM is most of their models have the cabin air filter (atleast the ones i have owned). I was getting a strong smoke smell out of the vents last night, changed out the cabin filter and now its gone.Of course it was the original one the car came with in 2011.

Changing the oil on the wife's '05 Escape today -- the thing doesn't burn a drop, but it sure is starting to drip it!
I had originally planned on replacing this car within the year, but had some expenses come up on the house that have taken priority over replacing a vehicle. Guess I'll have to live with the cardboard on the garage floor for another couple of years -- with 140k on the clock it doesn't make much sense to me to replace a bunch of gaskets on it unless I absolutely need to.
It still runs like a champ, but I'm beginning to refer to it as the "Exxon Valdez"......

Now get me a piece of wood. If I dont, I'll walk out to the truck to find out that I put the Valdez to shame!

Thanks...wife and I bought it together with my youngest daughter and her husband. Had it a month and used it 3 times already. Son in law and my oldest grandson love to deer hunt so we need a large trailer to fit everyone.
