    Cleaning shop and was contemplating throwing this crate on the fire tonight. It was an early co-workers who had the best with ethics I’ve ever seen. He retired about 4 years after I started, and left this behind. I, unfortunately left it in a corner of my shop and the bottom rotted out. I think I may make something of the lid to do it justice.
    i just realized I leaned his lid against crates of the next generation.

    I think the thing I'd use one for the most would be to have a place to mount a cargo storage container for trips where we use my truck, with a 1 year old and soon to be another we have so much crap when we go somewhere with her lol.

    It’s just a GM, old parts will probably outlast the rest of it. Actually, if you just apply a liberal amount of Rain-X you’ll be good for the rest of its service life. :anonymous:







    :sorry:

    No worries or need to be sorry. I have had very good luck with my GM vehicles. It's just this one my son....I'll just say he's a bit of knuckle-head...kind of like I was at his age the major difference being I paid for and repaired what I broke. Granted his abuse didn't break the cheap wiper motor, but there's been plenty of repairs on this one.

    The wife finds a like new 2015 Scion TC, at a dealer with only 19k miles on it. We went and bought it. Within 3 weeks he's gone and done this:mad:20201229_113722.jpg

    Tell you what; I'd buy another one in a heartbeat for the cash price of $14,250.00
    It is a sharp car.
    The guy where he took it to have it straight piped only charged like $90.00 and I inspected the work, looked very good.
