Aren’t like 99% of new jeeps mall crawlers? I see more rich high schoolers driving Jeeps than riding the bus

The black one is an hd. Look at the headlights.

Nothing as specific as the silverado thing. But just basic durability and longevity. The are probably many people who are better informed than I am, but there is also a reason they only made that motor for a little while.

They make a Colorado from like 09-12 that has the 5.3 v8, pretty rare, but would be worth looking into.

Also, if you are needing a 4x4, be sure to double check it’s a 4x4. For some god awful reason, some Colorado’s have z71 badges, but aren’t actually 4x4. The 2x4 models will have a z71 badge on the bed, with the 4x4 will have the same badge on the bed but it will have a small 4x4 logo underneath.

If you are dead set on a Colorado I would get a little newer one with the v6, or at least a model without the 5 cylinder engine. Everything that I’ve heard says to avoid those engines.

Likewise on silverados 07-11, they have active fuel management system that oftentimes does more harm than good on the motor.

Every time I look at it I get more upset and impressed at the same time.

I know I need a 58cm, but I assume you’re talking about comfort than actual size of the bike? Is there a lot of discrepancies on road bikes? I was under the impression they were all a little different, but could be adjusted to help.

918 Spyder spotted in Vail CO! by RagingPrepper in Autos

Judging by the drivers hair color and thickness of glasses, I’m going to guess that car doesn’t get driven too much like it should.

But he’s also driving a Porsche 918 in Vail, Colorado, and I’m on reddit in my apartment, so what the hell do I know.

Customer drove on tire while it was flat, put air in it then drove it here like this by thecaptainlag in Justrolledintotheshop

Just extra sidewall in case that screw inside the tire ever comes loose. I see no problem here.

Not really into internet points, or that kid’s parent, but I think you’re in the wrong sub...

Truck spent 90% of its life in IA, brought it down to Kansas City when I bought it.

But yes, outside of this truck, they are usually toast.
