LOVE the wagon. Dog looks like the one I had til he passed last year @ 17 years old. Anyways, lemme know what you want for the truck, and add 30 bucks for a step ladder too! Lol

He is beautiful man!!!



Thanks. He's all Lab. Labs are supposed to have thick, blocky heads. :y

I have 2 English boys, Moose is just a little too large. He's ~23" at the shoulder and my other one is just under 21".

Do you like the truck?

I had a 2008 Yukon XL Denali w/the 6.2/6spd. I think I averaged mid-teens with it.

I ditched it after 7mos because it was a PITA to own. Too much **** breaking already and GM's horrible service/parts availability at the time.

Dash looks nice. I want to do something similar in my 1st gen. :y

Nope! It is a piece of crap. Lease is up next month and they are getting it back!

I replaced my Yukon with a Cayenne GTS 6spd manual. Great SUV if you need an SUV. I realized I didn't need one and ditched the Cayenne for my wagon. :D

:X We got a Lexus last week. That P truck is awsome though!

WayneE 02-25-2011 08:37 AM

I only bought it because of the deal. It was a leftover 08 I bought in 09.

97 miles, I paid $63k - less than I could find USED 08s for at the time.

Wow! I wonder if the 6-speed manual was part of why it was left over? Personally, that is what I would have loved about it.

WayneE 02-25-2011 09:47 AM

Mitch, I think that was it. Nobody wanted the manual. I loved it - best part about the vehicle.

randallaguirre 02-25-2011 10:37 AM

What kind of gas mileage did you see with the manual Cayenne?

My wife has an H2 and we may be ready to try something new, and those just seem so cool. Especially with the monster meats on the rear.

Yours was very nice!

It was rated at 11/17. All interstate on a 550 mile road trip I managed just over 16mpg. That was my best. Around town it was usually 10-11.

The autos had 3.55 gears, the manuals got 4.10. Better towing and acceleration, bad fuel economy.

emoving 02-25-2011 11:03 AM

Thats all you Randall! How much for the Hummer by the way?

randallaguirre 02-25-2011 11:05 AM

OOOFFF.

That may not be the improvement we would be looking for.

I take it when you say "managed" you were actually being careful and trying to get better MPG.

At least for your bad mileage you got a sport quick SUV. The H2 is like driving a brick around. It pretty much handles and accelerates like it looks like it would.

There are times when I think "is this thing leaking gas?"

Thank you, I actually hate to get rid of it. Especially with the money dumped into wheels, tires, life, and about another 1200 in billet stuff.

To the H2's credit.... It gets about 2 MPG better on average with my wife behind the wheel.

Exterior is in almost perfect shape, interior has some signs of wear, but is by no means abused are loose and rattle-ish.

We may be very open to trades as well.

If you're looking to save $$ on fuel, I don't think a 957 Cayenne is what you want to buy.

Classic rides are the way to go. I'm on the hunt for another '72 Suburban or Blazer right now. :y

I'd ditch all the new **** before getting rid of my old stuff.

randallaguirre 02-25-2011 04:54 PM

+1 on the blazer.

I had a 71 2wd blazer. Tubbed out, Chopped, had the windshield sloped 8 degrees, 55 Chevy dash, Hand built cromo rear end.
Front wheels were 20x7 and the rears are a 20x14 wrapped in 345/25/20s. Fully airbagged. Shaved firewall, zippered frame, I had the doors cut down to meet the bedsides.
Never finished it though........

I sold it to my buddy Kevin who is now trying to sell it-I think.

Also, +1 on the classics. There is no way to explain the joy of owning a really nice collectable olllllldddd car, and then adding a few touches to give it some new meets old.

Stock classic trucks are fun to drive.

I don't get the same satisfaction with stock classic cars. I like them to go, turn and stop. :D
