Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
Question for the group, cause I’m genuinely unsure here: Thinking of putting different wheels on the Blazer soon, as I’ve got a tire/wheel/sensor issue with it that I’m getting tired of chasing down. I’m looking at down sizing from the 20’s on it to 18’s, as that is the ‘standard’ size on the Blazer...

Traverse is blown apart and they've started the repairs, no surprise found in the process. Parts are, mostly, in per the body shop. However, this could still end up being a 3+ month repair (they don't expect it to go that long) if they run into any delays in any of the missing items they'll need. At...

Wife was rear ended last night, almost 2 years to the date of her rear ending someone. Waiting on the process now to see if they’re gonna total the Traverse out or not; I’m thinking they will simple because she was advised NOT to drive away from the scene by the cops and the force of the impact bro...

Traverse is basically a school bus. If someone hits that they're hitting anything. Throw a step or something into the hitch receiver on whatever you get for a bit of a buffer on impact. I’m either gonna get one of those step things for it if we get it back, or whatever we replace it with, or just p...

It was a like 2012 Toyota Highlander that hit her, and it was inoperable at the scene when I got there to get the kids. Lights worked, radio I think was working, car wasn’t running though and the front end was smashed something fierce and there was a lot of fluid under it. The Traverse took the hit...

I’ve not seen a new Type S on the road but they just look great and I keep looking at them to replace my Blazer, even though it’s only a year old. My moms High Country is amazing, and in white, the front end isn’t all that bad. My wife likes the interior color on it but isn’t sold on the size; thin...

Am I crazy for considering ways to try and get the wife to agree to trade her Traverse in on a new Tahoe or the like of her choice, or the Blazer in on a new RDX Type S in 24'? RDX Type S seems to be a great car. I find the newest Tahoes to be :disgust: looking but I'm sure they're :thisisfine: I’v...

I have no need for it, but the want to off the Blazer for an SQ5 is strong. My saving graces are the fact that the wife won't allow it and we need to be stashing money to move in another year or so, assuming the market corrects and houses are going for almost double what they're worth in our area. ...

Well, I’d say it’s starting in the Title/housing market, as myself and 3 others were just laid off from the company we worked for. And of course both of my boys birthdays are in the next couple of weeks. If anyone knows of someone hiring for IT or customer/project management that’s still doing it f...

Have you been diagnosed with covid ? (Self test or lab)
Wife brought covid into the house over the weekend after she got home Friday night with the boys after having been gone for a week with them. So, I get to deal with having tested positive last night while also recovering from a vasectomy on Friday morning. Goddam man you are getting cut on. Yes, it...

Car Talk 6: Best of times and Worst of Times
I stayed out of the deets, as it's not my business. I have a rough idea on trade-in for the Vette, and what she paid OTD for the Tahoe. MSRP on it was $84K, no markup since it was a custom order. Trade on the Vette was around $42k, Explorer was probably around $15k (it was paid off I believe anyway...
