mc2hill Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Took my truck into the body shop today to have it fixed under warranty by GM. 1K to repair. Anymore they seem to build them fast and cheap. And cost an arm and a leg. Ouch!! I think I will keep my 15 year old truck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LFairbanks Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 My goal is to one night get up here and watch the sunset. And get a few pictures of the city at night. Maybe next year. It took me 10 hours round trip to get where this picture is taken. You can tell how high I'am from the clouds. If I remember correctly it was about 11,300 feet.

FrozenWS6 Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 That's a long hike. But worth it for that view. Looks awesome. LFairbanks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Haven't been on here in awhile. What I did today (weekend) was bought a new vehicle. The Tacoma was giving me a lot of issues and I was itching for a 4Runner anyway. I need to find some time to give it the Adam's treatment!

LFairbanks Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Chas, looks nice. Loved my 4Runner that I once had. Just curious what your issues with the Tacoma were? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Hey Chris, yeah I love the 4Runner so far. The Tacoma was having some driveline issues that neither I, nor Toyota could accurately diagnose/cure. I explained I was interested in a 4Runner and they made me a good deal.

Anymore they seem to build them fast and cheap. And cost an arm and a leg. Well the truck was suppose to be back today, and it didn't happen. Tuesday or Wednesday of this coming week. Needless to say the wife wasn't too happy with the issues that we have had to deal with at this dealership body shop. Paint work has always been perfect. Timeline and taking it back have been a repetitive issue. Because they weren't done they gave us a Dog, I mean Dodge (diesel), until ours is done. 15k on the clock, check engine light on and some service air filter warning keeps beeping. Notified rental place of issue and was told it was fine. Found that ducting from air box to engine was collapsed. Straightened out hoping that warnings would fix themselves. No such luck yet.

Tonight my wife and I took the neighbors to dinner at Chamu Gaucha in Downers Grove. That place looks good. The only place that I have ever been that looks similar to that place, was here. It was delicious. They must be good neighbors for you to take them there. That was nice of you and your wife.

We look out for each other, take care of each other and are great friends with them. Our daughters refer to them as Uncle Shane and Aunt B. The link you provided shows a restaurant in Schaumburg...hmmm...maybe around the holidays, thank you Chris! We've also gone to Fogo de Chao and loved that place as well.

wely324 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Went to work. We have 4 of these in stock. It's like nobody wants one anymore. Those who wanted one probably ordered one or got them when they were released. I just don't see it being a high demand car or able to compete with other luxury sports cars. It's performance is good for a hybrid but nothing spectacular to write home about. I can think of 10 cars off the top of my head I'd rather have for the same price tag or less.

LFairbanks Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Sitting here listening to Carly Simon and contemplating hitting the Tonto East next year. Did Tonto West in 2013. Don't tell my wife she will tell me "no". Something about seeing images of that amazing National Park, and they are calling my name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rkj4243 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Paul, (Captain Slow) the ATS built on the GM Alpha platform is an awesome driving, handling family vehicle! Lighter and more nimble than most other cars in it's class, as well as those cars above and below that mid sized class. Cadillacs can be made "more affordable" than purchasing new, by getting one a year or two old for about one half the initial cost, and GM offered a longer powertrain warranty which should still be in effect.
