November 18, 201510 yr Saw a couple of neat vehicles yesterday. 500 Abarth and a new Silverado Z71. My apologies for the junk quality.. it was raining..
November 19, 201510 yr The current Silverado's nose really is a jig-saw puzzle of pieces, isn't it? For some reason, I can't stop looking at the seams.
November 19, 201510 yr Ok, so whenever I quote someone, their post is duplicated within the quote from 2 to 3 times. Anyways, I felt in that picture right threre about the Silverado, I felt it was about to transforminate.
November 19, 201510 yr Well ya know... there is a car spotters thread posted every month here @ C&G.Wow, I feel really stupid because I knew that but forgot. I even stopped and glanced around just a second(and apparently very poorly) looking for sowmthing like that but I just completely forgot. So I said screw it, I'll just post'm here.About the pics themselves, The ONLY thing that didn't look right on the new Silverado was how the colored strip through the grill met the colored strip through the headlights. They don't match up. Other than that I REALLY like the refresh, a lot. Edited November 19, 201510 yr by ccap41
November 19, 201510 yr The current Silverado's nose really is a jig-saw puzzle of pieces, isn't it? For some reason, I can't stop looking at the seams. That's the only thing about the refresh that I don't like. It looks tacked on or aftermarket at close inspection. I'd like to see one in person to be sure though.
November 19, 201510 yr AAAND... there's a Volkswagen on the label... Full of win, right there That was a good scene in Planet of the Apes. A fitting example of VW. The current Silverado's nose really is a jig-saw puzzle of pieces, isn't it? For some reason, I can't stop looking at the seams. Agree, I have to say this is one of the ugliest versions of the Truck. GMC wins this round for having a superior looking nose.

On the right side you can see clearly they they beveled the strip down to match the headlight size, but since it is all white or any color for that matter it easily blends in looking more like a mismatch. Over all I think it was poorly executed. They could have done that grill better to match.
November 20, 201510 yr My house was built in '86. I wonder how much it would cost to go through and update the electrical system... breaker box, etc. none of my outdoor outlets work, and apparently they're tied to some of the inside outlets. I'd also like to install an outlet in the garage for a car.

I'd also like to install an outlet in the garage for a car. That's a lot of super easy work for an electrician. I had issues with a bunch of the outlets in my house and my brother (who has electrical experience) swapped out the bad ones in a few minutes, even repaired a light switch. Shouldn't require rewiring the whole house.
November 20, 201510 yr Electrical code may require you to put GFI-equipped receptacles in your outdoor boxes. I know they do up here.

I'd also like to install an outlet in the garage for a car. Point of reference. In May of thise year, I updated from 60 amp service with fuses to 150 amp service with breakers. This also required replacing the exterior meter box and mast head. I had two brand new GFI recepticals added to the front of the house as well (no outlets before) and a whole house surge protector is inclded. Price - $1900 all in.
November 21, 201510 yr I got a promotion today.... sort of. I finally got the title and job description to match what I've actually been doing for the past 24 months. At the same time I got assigned to an important new project that will finally get me the visibility in what I do. not a bad way to end a week.
November 21, 201510 yr I am baking broccoli and cheese casserole for early Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow over at Dad's. "Fresh" broccoli heads at grocery store looked like they'd been cut 6 munts ago, but I picked through and bought the best 3 I could find. On way home, I realized I have a locally famous farm stand not 2 miles from my house... so I took a turn and stopped in. WOW... the broccoli is fantastic there, and only ONE DOLL HAIR per head! So I took the other crappy stuff back.
November 21, 201510 yr This is sofa king stew pit : http://www.paulstravelpictures.com/2008-2012-GM-Chevrolet-Malibu-Headlight-Bulbs-Replacement-Guide/
November 21, 201510 yr Put a new muffler on the Miata on Monday and I just pre-ordered a tune. 160 RWHP would be awesome (that comes to around 180-185 HP at the crank).
November 21, 201510 yr You returned broccoli? I said to the young hipster princess at customer service... "I know this is weird, but I need to return this broccoli, I just bought it..." she happily obliged, after weighing it and checking my receipt.
November 23, 201510 yr I would certainly rock this Buick. Did BUICK just rebadge a VW? This looks like your Tag Viper but with a buick Grill and better headlights.

November 23, 201510 yr Miatas and deer don't get along. Miatas and deer don't get along. No!!! NOOOO!!! No! No!! Why?!!
November 23, 201510 yr Miatas and deer don't get along. Miatas and deer don't get along. No!!! NOOOO!!! No! No!! Why?!! I don't know, ask the damn doe. She's the idiot...
November 23, 201510 yr Ouch, Bummer to hear that a Doe did not like your ride and tried to take you out. Is that DEAR HAIR in the Rim I see in the photo?
November 23, 201510 yr Dude! That's awful. These pesky deer need to be equipped with shock collars that keep them away from the roads. My friend just went through that twice with her brand new WRX. She ended up buying one of these: Deer Alert System
November 23, 201510 yr Found this on a local FB classified... Centarua... Sounds exotic. Why have I not of this model before?!
November 23, 201510 yr OMG, I'm sorry, man! Rough start.. On another note.. I got "yelled" at on an Escape forum for saying "dog$h!" when referring to my winter fuel mileage compared to summer mileage..lol
November 23, 201510 yr Miatas and deer don't get along. Miatas and deer don't get along. No!!! NOOOO!!! No! No!! Why?!! That's frickin' HORRIBLE.
November 24, 201510 yr It seems for a moment I was having a conversation with many in different threads and all of a sudden everyone just disappeared. (Scratch, scratch, glance at recent memorable and funny post) Somewhat like, what, well oh allright... Testicular Solitude Heavy emphasis on solitude. Solitude sold separately.
November 24, 201510 yr Ouch, Bummer to hear that a Doe did not like your ride and tried to take you out. Is that DEAR HAIR in the Rim I see in the photo? Yes, that is deer hair caught in between the bead of the tire and the rim.

November 24, 201510 yr Thed, I would not be able to survive what you have. I hope your beautiful new car gets repaired fully to your satisfaction as quickly as possible. Bummer, dude. It seems the C&G Curse has life. A good number of us have been there.
November 24, 201510 yr It's almost December and the grass is still green. Alright!! Cycling in the winter is a go. 46 km cycling commute in the dead of winter. No other way to be alive than being at the brink, eh?
November 25, 201510 yr Miatas and deer don't get along. Miatas and deer don't get along. No!!! NOOOO!!! No! No!! Why?!! I don't know, ask the damn doe. She's the idiot... That royally sucks Thed. I do not miss that about NC. I have had more close calls than I care to count in my 35 years in that state.
November 25, 201510 yr (Opens letter for New Provincial Health Card) (Shows it to brother first) "The only thing that is missing is a joint" "Bro, seriously, how much pot did you smoke that day?" "Can they arrest you for looking like you smoked a sh!t ton of weed when you show up to renew you card?" (I look at my Health Card, ensuing reaction)
November 25, 201510 yr *checks other message boards* Christian Seabaugh gone CRAZY yo Is MT back up and working? I checked earlier and it was still down.
November 25, 201510 yr No man. He's just TRASHING trolls in the Camaro/Mustang story in WOT. It's like what I used to do to wings and deaner only more sarcastic.
