I am getting out of the Duramax game

[KEVINL]

After 6.5 years of owning a Duramax it is time to move on to something different.

I made a mistake trading in my last truck and after 6 months of ownership of a LMM I have made the decision that I am done with car payments and don't enjoy this truck nearly as much as the previous one.

Things have also changed at work and I drive a company truck 5 days a week so this is an expensive under utilized cost.

I plan on getting the change fuel filter issue fixed asap and selling it and use the proceeds to buy a older car.

It was fun but like everything else in life it eventually comes to an end. I will still visit the forums because I have met a lot of great people over the years. I have a son now so the days of expensive car payments and expensive mods are not something I can easily do anymore

Sad to see it go Kevin. Lots of fun times going to the track with you, going neck and neck with timeslips over the years, helping out with the headgaskets and turbo swaps, was fun for sure, was glad to help. Dont be a stranger!!! Time to throw a tune in the G8 :thumb:

What are u lookin at buyin? Something older for a toy like a muscle car era or?

 

[KEVINL]

Probably a 3 series BMW E30 or E36 I want to have a manual transmission car again so bad and rear wheel drive is the only way to go. I don't have a need for a truck anymore. I may look at fox body mustangs but I am more concerned with handling then power since the g8 is staying

It will get limited use since we will usually drive the G8 when we go places and I have a company vehicle for work.

That's an understandable decision.

I was thinking of your thoughts on the "LMM upgrade" today as I saw an LMM on the lot.

Good luck man. I understand completely where you are coming from. For some diesel is a phase in life. I haven't decided wether or not its a phase for me. Diesel stuff is for people with deep pockets.
