Default Went vehicle shopping today

Both buggies have in excess of 200K on them. 01 Jeep Cherokee is at 219K and my 01 Suburban is at almost 225K.

My wife picked out a 07 Tahoe and I found a 04 Suburban that struck my fancy.

We'll pick up the Tahoe early in the week and the Suburban a week or so later ( on the way to dealer on thursday, a "nice lady in a subaru" pulled out in front of me. Everyone is fine but I have to deal with the insurance company before trading in the suburban )

This all could have been avoided if you had just come to plow day.

I'd say i know a good bodyman but you're a bit far away.

The law of physics is still in effect

Pushed the wheel against the inner "frame", the fender, hood and grill were all "toast" plus it was leaking important fluids. 2014 Subaru Impreza did well but had to be flat bedded. I drove the Suburban up the road to a business and waited for a the flatbed to show up. It didn't turn well with the bumper that close to the tire.

Luckily everyone was OK

Put that one in the "could have been worst" file. Glad everyone was okay.
Couple good looking rigs, hope they serve you well.
That's got to be up there, with things I hate doing. Vehicle shopping. I hope I'm on my last truck. Should be, bought it new in 07, and only have 77,000 miles on it, but never know...

Different vehicles are usually quite exciting. Motor vehicle accidents....not so much. Glad all involved are OK.

You picked out 2 nice cars.

It could have been worse. At least it wasn't a "nice guy in a Mack".

Default New vehicle @%*_%^&**!!

My 93 suburban just lost reverse
@ 486,388 miles. (Check it out “400,000 mile Chevy Suburban” 0n face book).Had it since 97. Sad to think 500,000 is not in the cards.

Just fixit.
4l60's are not that difficult
4X4's are a little more work in/out, and do the rear main seal on the crankshaft while it is out.
@ that many miles, it needed refreshed anyway,as
those seals/clutches don't last forever.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
