If it doesn't have 4 doors and chrome center caps, I don't want it!

Thanks guys. You see Darth Vader, everyone around here sees a cop. You have no idea how many times someone will come up on me and then just sit there for MILES to finally realize I'm not a cop.

Yea, it has the 32 valve 4.6 with 305 HP. Essentially it's a non SC Cobra engine. This is one of about 5300.

Have you ever heard of Lidio Iacibelli out of the Detroit area? He used to be big into these cars and even designed a supercharger kit for them I believe. He used to have a badass black one like yours but with like 700 hp lol

2007.5 Silverado 5.3. Utilitarian, ice cold AC, remote start from the factory. I really like this truck. And since this summer has been pretty uncomfortable outside and the AC died in the Camaro I have been driving it a heck of a lot more than the Camaro this summer. Hey, I like my AC!

Spend a lot of time in the DD with a 135 mile commute.

DD was....

But it popped the radiator at 265K and needed a few other things, so decided to find something with less miles that made the long drives more enjoyable and bought this for a daily...

For the 5-10 actually bad snow days in the winter I will use this for the commute, since it was the previous daily driver before the Impala

70 miles a day. Actually fairly comfortable. I don't mind it getting wear and tear, but I'll go back to the Silverado once the snow starts flying though.
