I get compliments all the time on this color. Atleast once a week when the truck is clean.
I don't drive it enough to get compliments. It only gets driven once ,MAYBE twice a month since the Cavalier came along. And that's just to remind me why I'm making a payment on it

If you had a EB under the hood you'd be driving that sucker every single day smiling ear to ear.

That's how i have 61k on my 2013, but i will say the cavalier has helped tremendously, otherwise id be at a little over 90k on the truck.

Ya, I've heard sometimes you have to smile to keep from crying

I'm at 30,700 miles on the truck. I'm hoping to have less than 50,000 on it by time I have it paid off so it won't have a ton of miles on it. The plan is to keep it for 10+ years. I need a break from car payments.

Took my running boards off tonight. I've always hated the look of running boards, but I felt they were useful since the truck is somewhat lifted. I couldn't stand it anymore though. I'm just gonna do a trial run without them and see if I actually miss them. I know my fiancé will not be happy

Once my wife saw the retractable steps on the Platinum that was it...I think she likes them more than I do.

Only good thing about running boards is they prevent door dings. Most of the time the bottom of the other car will get the running board before getting the truck. First week after I took mine off got a nice little ding on drivers door

Over 180 miles on the M CLASS since Saturday. Hasn't used a bit of coolant, oil cap super clean, oil looks great. That Bars Leak head gasket fix seems to be working. Before it would've used over a gallon of coolant by now.

Coy, make sure the heater still works. That stuff can clog up the valve that sends coolant to the heater core, if it is even cracked open just a little it will seal it up. Run that sucker at full heat the next time you drive it.

I have never had much luck with Mechanic in a can products..........but sometimes you get lucky.
