Default Biggest reason I went AWD LS2....

I LOVE the Rocky Mountains. And so does my daughter.
And this overweight pig does great in the white ****. Quite a bit of fun as well.




Some shots from before the snow, with the leaves changing....









And a couple of the kid and the views in Breckenridge....

Awesome pictures, thanks for sharing.

I've been pondering a TBSS for a while now, but I drive over 130 miles a day commuting to work and the gas might kill me. Although I do it in a GMC Envoy so it wouldn't be a huge hit, it does avg 20mph though w/ 3.73's.

Nice truck, those pics make me want one even more.

Snow was the only reason that came to my mind before entering thread... I was right.

Love that color, only see black and silver around here, boring colors.

^^^ x2, I only seen black, silver and white but I'm not really a fan of the OP's color though either. I have a problem with red/maroon colored cars for some reason :/

Thanks for the compliments. Still need to finish the detail on this thing. T/A took 1/3 the time to do.

$80 every 2.5 days would kill ya....
I have seen 18.5MPG, but that was a trip up in the hills. Thinner air seems to help mileage, plus coasting downhill helps too I would think.

A lowered Z06 could make it through that 1 and a half inches of snow.

JK, nice TBSS.

I can't believe this didn't read:
I love my TBSS but DAMN goodyear sucks! Those along with any goodyear is terible in the wet and snow. You would be amazed at the traction if you got a decent tire on there!!! Hell goodyears have a hard time in the dry.

Truck looks awesome but it is a discrace to such a nice truck that they put goodyears on them.

The 4.10's in those things kinda kill it for me unfortunately, kinda wish they had a 3.42 option.

BTW I know what you mean about detailing these vehicles, takes considerably more time than most cars.

I agree on the color, nice to see something other than black on a TBSS. The red jewel tincoat is a nice color.
