Picked up my new Equinox

[Poorboy]

yes some pretty cool features..the radio blew me away last night...it tells you what the name of the song is , what band is playing it and the station it`s on..it`s like a flashing billboard

[rhillstr]

XM Radio?

[Poorboy]

no just an am/fm cd player but it has a built in equalizer too and a flashing messege board

pictures should be up by tomorrow..awd330 is taking them soon

white????? chicken -

I really like that suv - it`s between that or the envoy since I am dying to get that inline 6 - I wish GM would stick it in a sedan!!

I wanted the Salsa Red but the wife said :nono to red...the grey one was really blahh ....and since we were getting rid of a white van, replacing it with another white vehicle was logical...and no I`m not foolish enough to get a black vehicle to sit outdoors 24/7:doh :crazy

the V-6 is very peppy for old people also 19/25mpg and we would have considered a Trailblazer or Envoy if they got better gas mileage 15/20 if you don`t have a lead foot:lol 13/17mpg....our Tahoe sucks up enough gas

Steve,
Congrat`s on the vehicle !! They are so cool.

Oh and by the way I won`t take any offense to the statement "foolish enough to buy a black vehicle that sit`s outside" comment....like my Black Z71 Tahoe does.......thank God for S&W.

I Know what you mean about the radio. Mine does the same thing ...it`s so cool. My Z came with the Bose sound system and can pretty much blow you right out.

Enjoy it !!

Steve: Congrats on the Equinox. I saw a red one on the way to WI yesterday and really like the styling.

Here are some photos from the Equinox`s first detailing session. As Steve said, the dealership was instructed to only remove the cosmoline and do nothing more.

The vehicle was slightly dirty with only a bit of embedded contaminants. A traditional hose and 2 bucket wash seemed prudent along with a good claying.

There was also a little comsoline residue which required spot treatment with SSR1.

Something nifty lurks behind this tailgate...

It`s a shelf!

This job is going to require a lot of microfiber. Luckily, Steve has a lot of towels. Here are stacks of velvet smooth and work towels.
