Upgraded from the Yukon to a car...

[yargnits]

...3 kids in car seats forced me out of a car and into the SUV world and now that only one requires a booster I decided to move back to a sedan.

The thing is, it's still perfect for going to the hauling stuff and more than 5 people. Add Towing and an entertainment system it's too good to cast off. I don't want to haul kids to the beach in my new car! So, I'm going to keep the Yukon for a while. It's paid for and keeping it will cost me only $400/year.

When I'm not tweaking my new toy I'll be replacing the wheel bearings and shocks on my old beast.

V8?

V8?

Yes, 6.0. With a heavy foot it gets about the same mileage as the Yukon.

A 6.0 in a car???? Damn

I like the "cop wheels" personally. good looking car and with a 6.0 I bet that thing should scoot! You should get her tuned

What car is that?

It's a 2011 Caprice Police PPV 9C3 Detective. Only 9k on the clock. RWD with 4 wheel independent suspension. I bought it from the original (private) owner. It was never put into service. Normal interior free of holes.

It's the Australian encore of the Pontiac G8, but longer. I drive the car with the seat all the way back for my 6'2" frame and can sit behind with about 3" of knee room left over. The Chevy SS is basically the same car but the SS has a 6.2L engine and different styling. This one is a sleeper with it's plain looks, but hauls ass and handles more like a Camaro.

As far as the rims... A lot of people like it but I've got some Camaro wheels to put on it this summer to look less "cop".

Sorry for going on, but he asked and I'm proud of the score.
