Gosh thats a clean truck!!!!!

Daaaaayumn that truck is gorgeous, and clearly not from new england with how the underneath looks. Should treat you very nicely for a good long while.

Looking forward to the build, sounds like it will be fun, and welcome back to the game.

Maybe I missed it but why does it look like a number was photo shopped out right before the 3?

Ya she def. is not from New England lol. Coming from Oregon!!

I daily drive my fiance's 2006 Jetta TDI bc I commute from central MA to Boston every day for work (110 miles per day) and her car gets 40 MPG. We got her into a 2014 explorer for xmas this year since shes a nurse and needs to be in a reliable 4wd for the crap weather we get. As such the truck won't be seeing to many miles or to much salt hopefully. She will be parked next to the 02 SS Camaro with only 22k miles and 550 HP naturally aspirated :evil

I hear ya, got an 00 TDI jetta for my drive from Norton to Framingham, only 60 miles round trip, but much much cheaper than the truck.

and WOW, I have never been a big camaro fan but that is simply gorgeous!!!

Show off! Haha

Rob D · Jan 28, 2014

F*ckin right Bob lol you earn it you can show it. Although I have to admit the Camaro was bought not built :lookaround: and I should clarify that that is crank HP - only 450ish to the wheels...still hell of a fun ride.

Here's a link to its article in GM High Performance Tech for anyone interested:

Damn straight, and I wouldn't mind if you derailed and showed it off some more.

Nice writeup on the car, and built or bought I be it's still a blast to drive.

There's two other guys near me too. One has a lifted 03-04 orange Harley SCSB and another lifted black SCSB. I thought I saw a forum decal on one of them. We usually pass each other on rt 9 or an ashland back road around 530-6 am
