I wasn't chiding... more power to him. But I have never, once, seen him do anything truck like with it lol. At least our boat is at our house a few days out of the year lol from our truck lol, which is wayyyy less capable than that one tow-wise.
I tried to convince my wife to get a Raptor R this past summer and it was a hell no but had we gotten it, it wouldn’t be used for truck stuff. I just think it looks cool as hell so yes, poser here.

I paid $280 to get my car serviced today.

Every single thing in the green except tires. Car is a tank. Someone asked me if it’s for sale.

Umm, you aren't a poser.

Lol if anyone is getting that from me, I must have said something that got misconstrued.

I'm the epitome of waste. 32 cylinders and 21.2 liters of displacement in my two person household. All of the cars are overpowered. And I enjoy every single moment stomping the gas in all of them.

I know the owner of this truck. I asked him what happened and he said no clue. Offered him a ride, he instead rode with the tow truck.

GM has a mess on their hands with these transmission issues.

My friend just dumped his 3/4 ton Duramax for a powerstroke due to the issues with GM lately.

That's plenty, Imo
But is it really enough is the question. Lol

My dream garage would comfortably park at least 6 cars

Plus two extra bays just because. Lol
