Stop drinking, no lift from shocks. I too love the Bilsteins.

Yeah, can't decide if this is an excuse to upgrade or an excuse NOT to upgrade.

It's called an UPgrade vs a mod! Look into the Excursion badge and repeat after me, upgrade, upgrade, upgrade,I need the '08+ tow mirrors to truly have the KING of SUVs.

Heck, I bet even you were looking under the Ex looking where it was going. Maybe a call to the state to have that pump recertified...

Raced and smoked him, literally

Took the family to the mountains. Stopped in Kodak for the flea market this morning and then off to Gatlinburg this afternoon for some more walking around down the strip. On our way home, going around the Dollywood bypass I got to race a newer Suburu Impreza WRX STI hatchback. We were messing around a little until we got to line them up at a red light. When the light changed we both launched and I had him off the line about 1 car length and got out of it around 60 mph with about 2 cars ahead as much as i can tell since i was blowing smoke most of the time. He came up around us and tipped his hat.So, I guess he was impressed in this gigantic suv loaded with 7 and 3/4 fuel beating him. But, had a great day with the family and that topped it off. Love my gearhead SRL tune.
