And oh, did i mention the 400 hp LS2?, and it gets a few mpg more that my estimation truck did....put the bike racks on this last weekend. Hard to ride with a broken left knuckle....6 weeks out. Boo.

That's an Evoque, right? I've always thought those were cool mid-size SUVs.

It's hard to believe but 5 years ago we bought a Mazda3 for my wife to drive into the city and for me to haul my bike around on weekends. The car was great when my kids were small and no longer worked well 5 years later. So my wife & kids decided we needed to replace it. Plus I could no longer stand listening to them complain so after a Doctors appointment (last one for 4 months) we stopped at the Dealer.

The first dealer was trying to convince me how rare and hard to find they are then I saw there inventory of 25 + so I said they can't be that rare. He made a snide comment and I just laughed. They even told me there nearest dealer just bought two from them yesterday. So I went home and found 125of them within 25 miles of my house. I kinda laughed because I just love car salesmen and I new he was lying.

The sales person called bright and early and I told her I was heading to the other dealer because they had 12 and I was going to see what they would offer. After our conversation ended she must have gone to the sales manager because all of a sudden them came down another $1,750 and increased my trade $500.00.

When I went to the Naperville dealer they came in $2,000 less then there offer. In then end I bought it from the Naperville dealer for $5,000 less so it was only a $6,000 more then a fully equipped Chevy Equinox.

The part that sucks is I only drove it home and haven't seen it since. Seems my wife really likes it.

Marty,

Great to hear no need to see the ole Sawbones for 4 months.

So ya got the Evoque at yer price...but then ya lost it to the Missus.

Then, ya got a red roll bar ... uh, cage thingy.


So ya broke even.







Perhaps you could use it to visit a certain Buick though...if that hasn't happened already.

Good Morning,

Our goal is to add as many little details to the engine bay as possible without breaking the bank. Kenny suggested we pick up
some Rastners from Rad Rides by Troy.

When the warranty runs out in 4 years you can buy it.
