Scooter Trash

The thing was that the truck still ran good, had good oil pressure and never gave me a bit of trouble the entire time I have owned it. So why get rid of it because it was getting a little worn looking. $7,000.00 later a I had a brand new looking truck. No car payment, no increase in personal property tax and a really good looking truck. It was a no brainer to do.

I have to admit that it looks much better than my 24 year old Red S-10 did before I sold it.   That is a very sharp looking truck and being primarily Red adds bonus points.

While our 2014 Chevy SS Sedan gets all the love, sometimes Big Red (my daily) gets left out in the cold.
I spent last weekend showing it some love and getting it ready for winter.
Adam's products used: Car Shampoo, Tire and Rubber Cleaner, Clay Bar, 15mm Swirl Killer Polisher, Correcting Polish with Orange Foam Pad, Finishing Polish with White Foam Pad, Americana Wax, VRT and what I think is the best of all their products because the shine is unbelievable Adam's Brilliant Glaze.
This is my truck I bought new in 1991. After 18 years of waxing and polishing I had it repainted in 2009 because I had waxed the paint off of it. They did not clear coat back in 91 so every polish and wax took a little more paint off of it and after 18 years I was down to the primer in spots.
I took it to a custom car shop in the area with a paint scheme and here is the results. Doesn't not look bad for a 28 year old truck that has never had any body work other than repainted. It is a testament that if you take care of them, keep them washed and waxed they will last a long time. Last year changed the 16" wheels for new 18" GM wheels and here it is.

Rocking it Old School, Larry!   Beautiful and Thank you for sharing...😎

That is one sweet looking daily driver! 👍🏼👍🏼  Those wheels really set it off. 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
BTW: Is that  a Malibu SS or Impala SS?? 😁

That Brilliant Glaze is fantastic!! I get so many compliments on the finish. Is that a new 2020? Is that special paint? I have never seen a white car with that much depth in the finish!
You can see it there in the side of the car. Anyone can make a black car look good, but make a white car look good is a whole different animal. And I have to admit it is not me, it is all the Adam's products. The polisher and polishes, waxes and that wonderful glaze. The ceramic wheel coating really keeps the wheels looking great. Thanks to Adam's for another award.

J/K.   Welcome to the forum.
 
Here’s mine:

Just wanted to check in, say hi and say this is a great forum!!!
 
Sorry for the long title but I’m darn proud of my new purchase. Very rare car.
 
1 of 22   2017 model year with exact same configuration (only 3 options ever available; Manual Trans, sunroof and full size spare). This one is manual with no sunroof or full size spare. 
 
1 of 62   Exact same configuration all model years 2014-2017
 
1 of 327 Heron White with manual transmission ever produced. 
 
1 of 2260 Total Heron White (Manual and Automatic)
 
1 of 12856 Chevy SS’s ever produced (all colors, all model years 2014-2017, all transmissions)
 
Compare that to the 941,100 Ford F150’s 291,071 Accords sold in 2018 ALONE!!!!
 
I don’t mean to brag, but I’be wanted this car since 2014 and finally got one. Had to drive to Connecticut from Chicago just to buy it. When I bought it, there were only 12 manual’s in the entire US for sale. 8 of them black. It was the only white one at that time. 
 
So so needless to say, I’m going to baby this thing!!!!!

Thanks Chris. Does Dan's engine compartment look like this?
 

blown gasket

I know where it is and everyone that lives around these parts knows of the great 1889 Johnstown flood. You are a little over 2 hours from where I used to live. I know that area from the Tour de Toona bicycle races I used to officiate back in the 90's

Welcome Larry, glad to have ya’!
 
By chance, was the pic of your car taken a block or so away from McCormick and Schmicks, some Irish pub and Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse? I’m not from the area but we visit VA Beach/Norfolk area a few times a year and that spot looks familiar. We are usually down during Christmas every year and eat at McCormick and Schmicks as it’s one of the few places open Christmas Day and i think that corner behind your car is where I always park, lol. Small world if that’s it...

Welcome Larry

, Larry! Beautiful car ( @Dan@Adams will probably drool a bit over it, too)!
 
Ask any questions you have, and lend any advice, too...

Welcome Larry!

Very nice!  Welcome to the forum!
