You can hijack if you like! We can make this thread about cars & trucks in general if the mods think its ok.

Pretty cool truck!! My brother wanted me to put a hydraulic lift on my car so I could lower it as well, but my car is my dd and although I've taken it to show and shines, Im not planning on entering it for any awards.

My (step) son is showing interest in cars now at 16 (typical boy), but to the point of actually taking steps to go into an apprenticeship program after hs to learn about them and make it a career. Someone here has offered to meet us once his car comes out for the summer to talk about modding a car. We've offered an incentive, min marks for next semester which means his marks have to come up and we'll match whatever he's saved up if he attains a final average. Gr. 12 the minimum will go up again on core subjects.

Cars are a cool but expensive hobby so he's gonna have to work for it, but he's finally found something to be excited about and we are doing everything we can to keep him motivated!

It can lift just as high as a factory s10 so speed bumps are no issue!



Anyway I don't want to highjack! So I will maybe start a thread for gear heads and see what everyone else is drivin!
