Quick wash before work

Nothing special. waiting on product to arrive so I used the stone age soap and water method.

Thanks, they are factory take off Camaro wheels i scored with factory nubbies on the tires for $500!

Bought my wife a new equinox and while we were at the dealership I was like hey you got any Camaro wheels? He showed me these layered in 5 tons of dust and said 500. took that and ran out of there! Staggered setup.

yes awd.

staggered setup doesnt cause any issues due to the tires being only 4mm difference between them in sizing which is within the limits.

Got it Black Friday of 2015. It's just a AWD 4 banger LT. My wife drove a 3.6 and couldn't tell the difference so I wasn't about to spend the extra money on one lol. Wanted a Terrain, but we were looking for a leftover since GM slashed their warranties, so the pickins were slim.

She's not exactly car savvy. The 3.6 is stout for sure. There's a 2wd crew cab Canyon by me that keeps leaking my interest.

Its pretty much on the afterburner now that the Colorado is out of storage and the weather has turned. Time to start on house projects again.

There are always house projects to finish. Never ending lists.
I like the camaro wheels.
We are going to start looking for a year or 2 old SUV for my wife. She has done well with her base regal for 4 years and misses driving an SUV. She had Cherokee, grand cherokee's before the regal. Probably gonna be between that, the traverse and Acadia.

All good choices. Acadia was just a little bigger than my wife wanted for the time being.

Just did all LED interior lighting. would like to maybe get windows tinted by end of summer with led fogs and hids before end of year. Lower next year, paint chrome, Doneski.
