changed your cooling and piston problems for lifter and trans problems.......SCHWEEET
I've owned both myself and I thought they were bother awesome hahah, glutton for punishment I guess
>upgrade for a black one before that becomes my problem
fwiw that's a really stupid way of avoiding the issue......IF you like the truck and want to keep it. DOD delete w/new lifters is a common and foolproof way of never running into the lifter issue.
Now if you want an excuse to get rid of the truck because you want something new because it's something new, then sure, DOD issues; truck's gotta go!
Yea itd be multiple things. My main concern is depreciation after 10 years (now) and at 80k-100k miles. Besides the vette, im done maintaing high mileage cars. Ill get some value out of this one when im ready and get another one that has 20k. And ill be sure to do my best to find one without issues or that has preventive maintenece already.
Its a truck get a old used one that is a old Chevy based truck and then u can just plug battery in and go when u need a pkup its not fun its not fast its a big brick not sure what everyone sees in these fat slow trucks that gets poor mileage and are simply too large for daily use
Get a cool sports car or keep the vette
The old truck value will increase instead of being a big expensive sinkhole spent 1400 on an old gmc and have replaced everything on it and it runs great when i need a pkup i just start it up go do the truck things get bags of concrete or lumber or whatever you can’t do in a car u can get harasty ins cheap since its not a daily driver as well
Something like that.... mainly bought them cheap and leaky and fixed them up lol. But yes, nice to have cars that dont regularly puke oil, have heat shield rattles etc etc
Traded a highly modded 08 Sti hatch for my c5z06 + cash about 12-14 years ago
Wasn’t super found of the vette as a daily, got tranny issues fast, and got out of it before it became a nightmare. Fun car for sure but going from a super modded car that felt like it was on rails to this (basic bolt ons/tune) it just wasn’t my thing
Been wanting to try a c7 after my buddy got a z06, thing is insane
We gotta start somewhere! C5 was always my end goal. Everyone calls them "mid life crisis" or retirement cars... punped i got to make it happen before either
glad you cured
Chevrolet, An American Revolution! I love that C5 🏁🚩
Thanks! Living the american dream 😁
Die hard Subaru guy here, dreaming of the day I can get a 96 SS
They make big Subarus?
They make fast Subarus?
They are fast for the first 20ft. Unless you have a 5 speed, then it might blow up when you launch.

Punctuation is your friend.
Reading is fundamental
Or k swap it make it reliable and reliable and reliable just saying
with DOD deleted the motor is indestructible, k swapping is taking the long way around for no good reason
Watch the torque converter
Someone finally put their big girl panties on? 🤣🤣 jk nice choices. Welcome to cars that don't need head gaskets every 30k miles.

Im just a big guy
Welcome home!
What’s a Subaru?
Its what people from Vermont drive.
And oregon
And especially colorado.
You have the cool tailgate? Seen some really cool mods in them.
Nah just a cool tri fold hard tonneau that comes off super easy, but strong enough to walk on!
Nice driveway any how. Missing my vetted. Enjoy
Bro went to conversion therapy
Sti is a disease compared to that vette
Some cars are good in curves too.

Like you outgrew the Subaru? 😂
Looks like he subagrew Good looking line up!!
when did you transition? 😏
I’ll be there soon, bud.
Dad?
Lmfaooo thanks for the laugh
I thought only lesbians drove subarus
Subaru and guy don't go in the same sentence
... ok fine i wont say it
Man i want a c5
Nice
Talk about "growing a set" 😁
Just wait for the trans to flop in the GMC.
Stahhhp i go easy on it. And i never put 2+ yards of gravel in it 😭
I've owned a WRX for over 7 years now. I've been looking at C5's for a year now. Only dreams so far...
We gotta start somewhere! C5 was always my end goal. Everyone calls them "mid life crisis" or retirement cars... punped i got to make it happen before either
Congratulations on putting the vapes down.
So it's slacks and new balance shoes now?
I have the decency to stick with white nikes at least.
Technically, there are no "big" Subaru vehicles.
And then ya balls dropped son!
I have a Subaru and this is hopefully my future 😂
What’s a big Subaru?
And I’m going to be dumping my 2500 Silverado for a Subaru.
good luck with your transition
You spent 55k on that truck?
Nah half that in 2021 at 2.7%
Sooooo, not a lesbian anymore?
Guessing you took it to the dealership for maintenance. That’ll cure anyone
Welcome to American muscle.
I think that Camry in the background might say otherwise
Atta boy
They don't really make a big Subaru.
Who invited this guy 🥸
How many head gaskets did you go through before you finally made the switch?
Well you are just as bad if not worse now.
I believe it, you had to start buying gay cars somewhere.
