Pinstripe tape flames on a 2001 PT Cruiser

GM W Bodies. They were long in the tooth an everywhere. From Pontiac (R.I.P) to Buick to Chevy and Oldsmobile (don't miss you) reliable yes, inspiring not really. 

The really cut the budget for the new Dukes of Hazzard movie.

Chevy Suburban. It just works and continues to work. 

I loved my 2001 PT Cruiser, there I said it. It was 2004 I was a senior in High School, my parents had bought it new but it had worked its way to my older brother and then I traded him my 98 Lumina LTZ for it in 2004. That car was a crap box but as an 17-18 year old kid it was awesome. It was newer than all my friends…

When I actually get out and drive my truck since I now work from home, its usually to have some fun offroad so alot of Early 2000s rock. 

I’ve always wanted to do that to A Safari Van or an Caprice wagon. Stupid yes, but it would be fun.

No I watched a friend grenade his Tarus transmission doing that. I did a bunch of random reving in neutral with a stock exhuast because it was like 2002 and the original fast and furious was popular

The best Lumina was the 1998-1999 LTZ model with the 3.8 series 2 V6 and leather seats, sunroof and dual exhuast. Had one as my first car and it was a blast. Didn't look like anything special but 200hp to a 16 year old was plenty. 

Blizzaks it's a beast with the AWD and snow tires. Gives my Colorado a run for it's money in the snow. 

I wanted my wife to look at those when we were shopping for a new car for her. The RWD is the reason she didn’t want in it since we live in Upstate NY and snow is usually a think all winter long, she went with a Pilot instead. If I truly needed a mini van I’d pick one up in a heart beat. 

I don’t hate the face lift. It does bring it in line with the rest of the trucks. I do like the tail gate. Already wondering if it will bolt on to my 2018 Z71. The interior is a bit cheap and may not be the best it is still a truck and the utility is there. I’ve also not had a complaint on any of the road trips I’ve…

From 2010 to 2011 I commuted 60 miles one way. Then from 2011-2012 it was 50 miles one way. Then 2012-2018 I did 55 miles one way. It was interesting. The first year was mostly highway. Second was 2 lane and the third was a mix of highway, 2 lane and dirt roads. I had my share weird things along the way. Now I walk to…

HOA must be more popular down south. In Upstate NY where I live I never ran into one when we were looking for our first or second house. Of course the area is ecomnomically depressed with high taxes so theres that, but I can put up whatever holiday decoraction I want and park what I want in my driveway.

Should have put it on the colorado chasis and made it compete with the 4 runner. That is what the blazer should be. 

Pretty sure its not a wrap on that mustang, just returning from Cars and Coffee

I thought Ranger at first, but looking at the turn signal where it is lower than the headlight leaned me towards a S-10

I was thinking S-10 from the profile and the tail lights. Something like this

I put flames on a PT Cruiser and clear taillights. Oh and don’t forget the eBay cone intake. And to my shame I loved cruising in that car with the windows down in the sun.

Its always a smashing good time in Florida
