IHADAV8 Playground / 2023 Corvette ZO6/O7

Have you guys checked this car out? Absolutely amazing! I love the high revving 5.5 L with the exotic sound. Once I get closer to retirement I might consider buying one.

What are your thought?

That will teach them! I grew up in a high crime area. What I find is most thieves are cowards and if you fight back they won't target you.

Yep, shopped around to see what dealer would pay me the most to return my Audi at lease end.

Gave it to one 3 hrs from me and got $4200 more than the buyout.

Nice!

I forgot but my Accountant had the exact 2021 HD Denali but didn't get it till fall. He sold it for more than he paid for it and ordered a new one. I had emailed him pictures of my buddy's Denali before he got his.

IHADAV8 Playground / Crazy Times We Live In...

« on: August 10 2022, 03:08:36 PM »

Crazy how times have changed in the last few years with the supply chain shortage, especially in semi-conductors!

My buddy traded in his 2019 Denali HD 2500 last year for a new one. The dealership kept calling him a few months ago asking if he wants to sell it, which he replied, no. A few weeks ago that asked him to trade it in for a brand new one and they will give him $4k. So, of course he did that. It is crazy to think he got a new truck and cash. I believe they wanted to sell the truck in the US and you can't sell a brand new one across the border. So, he has a new truck with longer warranty now.

I was spinning at 1900rpm at those speeds. Really liking this little diesel.

IHADAV8 Playground / Took the BabyMax on the US Freeway

« on: August 05 2022, 11:08:22 AM »

I did a trip to the States a couple weeks ago. I set the cruise at 75mph. I averaged 6.9L/100km for most of the trip but I did hit 85mph 4 times passing. Overall I averaged 7.2L/100km both ways and there was a slight head and side wind. So, overall I was impressed with the milage this 5000lb truck returned. It gets 18mpg more than my 4cyl gas Colorado at the same speed!

We didn't get hit too hard only 50 cm. There are places that got 86 cm and the Mayor of that community was saying how there is all these jacked up 4x4's stuck in the snow!

IHADAV8 Playground / Spring Snow Storm!

« on: April 14 2022, 02:58:33 PM »

I was so looking forward to spring because we had way too much snow this last winter!! The streets were dry a week ago with a few snow banks left. I had little pile in the yard just under a foot tall but it was melting fast.

Now they are calling for 50-80cm of snow! It started yesterday. When I got home from work yesterday I started shoveling very wet heavy snow. And today I shoveled twice. My arm is killing me from all this shoveling.

I can't wait for spring!!!
