car shopping with my mom ...chevy strong !
so IMO the recent years of cars have gotten less attractive, big cars with small engines in them ,etc etc; so my mom had all german cars from like 97-14
in 14 she got a Jeep Grand Cherokee Altitude.. car was sick white on black , black 20"s tinted out. now her lease is ending and we went car shopping again we looked at the : benz e-class - new body style is ugly... looks like a slightly larger C class benz c-class - small, nothing special about it benz s-class- feels like a boat, loose handling, but luxurious, terrible lease programs 1500-2500 a month new benz trucks are ugly IMO not feeling the new infinits or lexuses cant buy anything british unless u like spending most of your life at the dealer service center (and im a mechanic) bmw 5 series- new body style is small inside, 4 cyl turbo feels under powered and the car was extremely expensive for what you are getting (800+ a month with big amount down) bmw x5 - expensive, not really a truck more of an SUV or a car that sits off the ground... bmw 7 series- car was sick, big, luxurious, drove great, she was dead set on this car and then i tell her lets go test drive the tahoe... she reluctantly agrees... drives the tahoe and bam ! shes in love lol long story short GM FTW ! if all goes according new tahoe will be here in week or 2 shes gonna have a sicker truck than me... little jealous lol |
Tahoe's are unbeatable. Kinda expensive but hold value very well, make fantastic police cars too lmao. Livery service ones go upwards of 300k miles. My girls got a '12 with 92k miles on it already, we put 18k on it in the year shes had it, only did rear breaks/tires. I love driving it, all my fun cars sat home on all of our road trips. Ive blacked it all out, MBRP exhaust and a CAI, sounds awesome.

Yup, Tahoes/Yukons are a personal favorite! What color did she get? Maybe we'll talk in 2-3 years :mrgreen:

HID is an arc in a capsule, an LED is different. I think what Adam said is what you meant LEDs in a projector
|
Idk I could be wrong I don't do that type of work my friend does so I'll ask him
|
ok so moritmoto or whatever the high end HID/LED brand is.. the LEDs have some sort of ballasts with them but they run cooler than HIDs so it looks like he's doing the LEDs like i said I stopped doing lights and stuff myself when my buddy opened his business and he does all of that work for us
|
Yeah, I didn't mean to make a big deal out of it. Hids and Leds are two separate things, that's all I wanted to say. :lol:
