Shit I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.
How did you get the guy from Slingblade to wash your car?
I was more thinking Sid Haig, but he's dead.
well i sold mine off to a buddy of mine that was enjoying beating the shit out of it. but it developed a noise and he took it into the shop they did a bunch a work on it and same same. then they pulled the motor over what was just a bent push rod. i started driving a 2015 tahoe ppv as my daily, never really liked it. so i traded it in on a 2015 yukon xl that the wife ended up with. so i have been on the lookout for another caprice. i have been driving the wifes old escalade, which i like but 14 mpg sucks. well got lucky and got one cheap today. doesn't run but it's close to home. i'll pick it up tomorrow and see what i have.i'd love to pick up one of these at that price range. Every one in my neck of the woods is closer to $10k, which is a tough pill for a bare-bones interior like that
I average 15-17mpg in my G8 (same car just a slightly shorter wheelbase) but it is my summer fun car so I generally am not shooting for max mileage. I am able to get over 20mpg if I really think about my driving style.what MPG are you seeing in the Caprices real-life, low 20's?
22 to 23 back and forth to work. mostly 80 mph or so highway.what MPG are you seeing in the Caprices real-life, low 20's?
Nice, You should get a full camo wrap on it .👍![]()
The new cream puff. 2012 6.0
i swear i was thinking the same thing, kind of like my old land cruiser. My winter stone wall camoNice, You should get a full camo wrap on it .👍
Which promptly gets annoying as fuck trust me. You only think it's cool until you try it.It does have a nice cut line on the A pillar. I would wrap it black on the body, but leave the roof white. A two tone black and white with cop wheels and the spot light would ensure folks drive around you in grandma mode.
i always run the cheap ass 87 shit. i don't think i ever had a tank under 20. your user name may have something to do with it.My caprice is far from stock but I’m lucky to see 20mpg driving like a grandma on a long highway trip on 93 . Around town commuting maybe 15 . On e85 you can watch the gauge move and burn up a tank in no time maybe 10mpg.
My cam and milled heads and aggressive tune require 93 or e85 ive ran 91 but there is a noticeable difference . It’s tough to find 93 or e85.i always run the cheap ass 87 shit. i don't think i ever had a tank under 20. your user name may have something to do with it.
This is why I removed my spotlightWhich promptly gets annoying as fuck trust me. You only think it's cool until you try it.

I have a very solid combo in mine that I’d be glad to tell you put down 505 to the tire on e85 if you’d likepicked the cream puff up yesterday, interior is better than the last one. showing 85k and under 9000 total hours. tires are dry rotted, looks to have been set up for over a year. fired it up and has a lifter knocking, not terrible but bad enough. so i guess i will look up some dod deleats today and check out some cams. it was a black car from the factory so i figure it will get a wrap for sure. and the shifter is sticky as fawk.
it's wild to me that a stock clapper with a cam can make 500 whp these days.I have a very solid combo in mine that I’d be glad to tell you put down 505 to the tire on e85 if you’d like
Everything in that stock engine is fancy aftermarket stuff by 1990s standards.it's wild to me that a stock clapper with a cam can make 500 whp these days.
