JimJenson Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 and put the company logo on the doors so it will match the other trucks (nonSS) we have in the fleet. I have resisted this, but she handles the financials for the company and is threatening to trade it in for a standard Silverado or F150, since we get no recognition while traveling from job to job. What do you think? Should I accept the white, or trade in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstchevy Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 First off, I can't believe your letting your wife tell you what to do with your truck. I would personally jsut get a magnatized sign and throw 3 of them on the truck 2 sides and 1 on the talilgate. why would that be any different then having the whole damn truck painted a color it's not suppose to be.

mwarren Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 That is one tough dilemma. A woman with all the power of the finances. There could be some lonely nights on the couch if you resist. You never know...a white SS might just be sweet looking. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSminneapolis Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 the wife sure has you by the...throat, on this one. i know what it is like though. my mom does all the finances at our shop. it is like pulling teeth at times trying to get money out of her for things... as for the white. i don't think it would look to bad. there have been several clones that are white that look good. i guess if she is willing to spend the money to paint it that is good. i vote for keeping it...

AUTOGUY Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 If you ask nice maybe you can get her to settle on White Diamond like on the Escalades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 sounds like white it would be to me. i agree with the escalade color. as for his wife, she has control of more than that. she's the one with all the *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUTOGUY Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Here's one...a clone...but it might give you a general idea of what it will look like http://www.cardomain.com/id/sd04silverado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posi12Bolt Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 If you ask nice maybe you can get her to settle on White Diamond like on the Escalades <{POST_SNAPBACK}> OUCH...it will be a clone in 99% of peoples eyes....but I think white diamond pearl would be very clean. As long as it's done clean...Ya know, all the jams, under hood, complete color change...it would be cool. Gotta keep the SS, and the wife happy but damn...you wouldn't be happy with a regular silvy after the ss... OR....get a White crew cab duramax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PewterC3 Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 How about trading it for the new GMC Sierra Denali Crew Cab? It has the LQ9, the NVG-149 AWD, 4.10 gears.....plus 4 doors and the Denali interior....and it comes in white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcairns Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 I would think a well done color change would be expensive, but I saw a regular white Silverado with SS bumper on it the other day, and it looked sharp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posi12Bolt Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 wait wait wait....I got an idea..... paint your fleet to match the SS...with SS front bumpers too... woohoo....more money but hey, they'll match!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrow Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 If you trade in the SS, I'd think you'd lose your ass on it. But maybe it's tax deductible??? If your wife wants it white and is willing to write the check to get it done correctly, then by all means do it. Granted it might hurt resale but since it's used as a work truck you may keep it long enough that it wouldn't matter. Looks wise, you'd be fine I think.

Big O Posted December 23, 2004 Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 If it's a professional job I highly doubt you would lose anything on trade in (because of the color .... depreciation is another story). Tell her you will put vinyl decals on the windows and thats good enough, they have to know when THE MAN pulls up and not just a FLEET TRUCK. Don't be a victim ... take control !! Or if your wife is anything like mine ..... enjoy the white SS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJenson Posted December 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2004 Thanks for the suggestions so far. I am stuck between a rock and hard place. Maybe I should have got the base model in white. I have been listening to shit for 3 1/2 months about the bastard truck in the fleet. The wife cut the check for the purchase without asking color. Now all the suddon, it is a big deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
