  1. I bought one of those for my cousin (he's 22 years younger than me) for Christmas 6 or 8 years ago. It seems like it was $20-$40 and I bought it at Dunham's.
  2. I had a bagged S10 from 2000-2005 and a bagged S10 Blazer from 2005-2007. I loved driving my bagged trucks. I'd absolutely bag my Silverado if it wasn't AWD and I didn't drive it in the winter. My valves froze in my other trucks making them pretty much useless in the winter. In my 7 years and about 50k miles I only had trouble related to the air bags three times. Shortly after bagging it the parking brake cable melted and locked closed. I had to put a turn down on the exhaust before the axle. The heat from the exhaust melted the rubber around the parking brake cable. When I stopped for a pack of smokes and a soda the rubber solidified and absolutely would not budge. The truck would not move. I had a compressor fail. Luckily I had a schrader valve to fill it up enough to limp it home. It turned out the compressor failed because my air system was filled with water. This was shortly after bagging it for the first time. I didn't know that I had to dump the water from the tanks. My truck was one of the first bagged trucks in Michigan, so it was a learning experience. I had a custom exhaust put in the Blazer. A couple of days later it developed a leak in one of the lines. The shop laid the plastic air line on top of the new exhaust system. The hole was near a fitting. I had enough slack to cut the line and connect it back to the fitting.
  3. I'm a Glock guy myself, there are many great options out there. I compete in GSSF, but if it weren't for that I'd probably carry a Smith and Wesson M&P. Stock they kind of suck, but there is a guy around here that puts custom sears in them that make the trigger amazing.
  4. Subaru drivers are the worst. They have zero clue how to drive. Volkswagen drivers are usually very feminine. I'm pretty sure farfegnugen is German for "I prefer penis".
  5. For those of us south of the border, that's 621 miles. With our 22 gallon tanks, that would require getting over 28 MPGs. I'm not sure I could go 621 miles on two tanks.
  6. My seatback element was burned out and did the exact same thing. I've read that it's usually the seatback. It's pretty easy to check. All you have to do is put the seat all the way forward, and at the bottom of the seatback there is a two plastic channels that are locked together. Jam a small screwdriver and seperate the channels. Once that's done, move the seat in a position that works for you and slide the cover up as much as you can. It has velcro on the inside of the cover. After you've done that, pull the element out. It will be taped in there, but it's not a big deal. You'll be able to tell if it's burned out. This is what my element looked like. I ordered this part to replace it. I think I found a $5 off coupon. http://www.partstrai...ch&Ntt=RB641106&= It was about a 15 minute repair.
  7. That truck is hot. Stupid needing a back seat. The first pic is my new wallpaper too.
  8. Congrats on the new truck. You're going to love it. Just an FYI, your truck is not Sport Red. It's Victory Red. Sport Red was that purplish red.
  9. The Lions are getting healthy at just the right time. I really think they have a chance.
  10. on both counts. It may have been June, I don't remember.
  11. I put a set of factory cats back on the truck. It made a night and day difference. The rasp at low RPMs was unbearable before. I'm still not super happy with the sound. It doesn't really sound like a Corsa to me. It sounds like a beat up farm truck with glass packs. My problme is not how loud it is, it's the tone that it has. It sounds better than the factory system, but not as good as other Corsas I've heard before. If I had it to do all over again, I'd spend a couple of more bucks for the touring system.

    Got Stung

    How fast were you going? I have a concealed pistol license. I'm pretty sure if I hopped out of my truck to get a picture it would end bad for me.
  13. Edit, got it figured out, I'm keeping it.
  14. I spoke with autoanything. It looks like the system is for autoanythiing to request a return authorization from Corsa. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Corsa will deny it sometime late next week. EDIT It is for sale pending Corsa refusing to warrantee it. http://www.silverado...t-back-exhaust/
  15. I was unhappy with autoanything for a minute. My frustration with them was when I was sent a shipping confirmation number and it never got shipped. I didn't know at that time that it was being drop shipped by Corsa. It was 100% Corsa's fault. I've been dealing with a guy named Ramon at AA and they've actually made their way back into my good graces. Like I said earlier, I had another Corsa on my old Z71 and loved it. I actually worked at a Chevy dealer and back then Corsas were a GM Accessory. The dealer I worked at sold at least 10 Corsa systems, all using my truck as the demo. I'm pretty disapointed that this isn't going to work for me. I loved the sound of my old Corsa.
