I still have my 2004 LB7. It's been babied most of it's like ... heck, only has like 65k on it. But, I can still relate to how it's part of the family. Most "orindinary people" don't get it, only use true gear heads can appreciate that kind of love.

Your early posts about Big Blue were a motivator for me to get my LLY a few month later.

Thank you. :)

That's the sappest thing I ever heard. Never thought I see McRat type Cole's name in anything without at least a F#@K you in front of it. :D BTW I have red Woolrich coat I bought in 1972 I feel the same way about. :thumb:

Seems a lot of us started our Duramax journey back in '03. Lots of good memories and lots of great friends. I've watched a lot of you guys grow old. I, on the other hand have managed to remain young. :jerkit::roflmao::D

This week is Big Blue's 10th Birthday....

I'm not a Camry guy. A vehicle is more to me than just a set of tires that go places. I get into a personal relationship with my cars and trucks. I hate to say it, but I LOVE.....!

I'm with you man:hug:
Glad you still have Blue, and you're still around in the community:thumb:

That C5 was pretty BTW ;)

Hmmm... I'll have to check the AutoCorrect. It should have caught that. :confused:

Very well said Pat. Thank you.

I love my LLY. It has never let me down and I never plan to sell it. I don't drive it daily now but I could. I love it more now than when I drove it off the dealers lot in 2005.

My first truck was almost a used arrival blue lly after following Pats' and others' posts. But I held out for a new LBZ when I heard about the improvements.

We have way too many vesicles:eek:

Actually it will be a downgrade. It's a stock engine. The one in him right now is not quite so stock :rofl:

The first mod on the Meanie was ET Streets and Skinny's:driving:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you did show-up at the dyno day for a few minutes...it was raining then just like today:D

I was there and still have the same truck...no plans to sell her :thumb:
