a long ride today in my dads 2016 gmc.
we even tried the 98mph limiter out..now at 5700 miles from new.
scared a nissan altima 2.5S into the horizon as a result.
is this so scary? what is it about trucks... scaring rice off into kamikaze panic mode like a cow shot in the ass with a bb gun.
if that were my truck, he'd be eating my fifth gear pop as I left him behind.
midgets and their rage.
I left my truck under a pine tree, in hamdpen maine. It rained.. a very warm rain. Fog mixes in by the time we get home.. a fine warm fog...and a penobscot river still ice cold running down from the north.
A warm defrost would make it worse. That icky goo feeling...
I hear the a/c pump faintly as the environment dries at just the right temperature. I make my way back to my place..even farther north.
I now know why that pump kicks on in defrost mode.
perfect scenario this evening.
I ponder this would be a different picture if that tropical fine mist was mixing in with this trucks january finally leaving in june..
sharper than the moon, drier than the dew sticking to everything outside.. very cozy.
remembering leather or vinyl seats and how sticky I would be.
I am truck from now on.
I must be getting old.
I then realize..
it is not worth fighting with rice that gets angry at the trucks.
3 inches from the ground, sucking on shit like a 4 nostril mole in the rain.
poor rodents. Live and let live.
..and my final analysis of the 2016 GMC and power and takeoff, compared to its first injected last small block godfather of 21 years ago:
the 1996 305 bone stock with a 5 speed, 3.73...
is Faster.
(capital F)
Top speed is so far beyond, I'd be finding a hack for the limiter. I surpass the 98mph limiter on my 96, with one more gear to go.
They shoud let us stay adults fighting the japanese and have no limiters at all.
there is one win for the 2016... the 0 to 60 and even 70. Extremely impressive. I mean.. it is faster than many years of corvettes. It is 1000 pounds heavier than the old gmt400 of similar wheelbase and cab.
Beyond that, here comes grandpa with one more direct gear to go...Last edited by Barry Donovan; June 9, 2017, 08:53 PM.Previously boxer3main

this photo of the rare eclipse for this august.
first one in 40 years for lower 48.
it seems long term defining in away.
maine segregated as having the most sun (it is the darkest of the lower 48)
the northwest is wet at all times...does not care what the sun is doing.
Florida.. it does not care either.
ancient and spooky.
