Another Crew bites the dust (or the trade in lot)

[Gary H]

I was starting to have a lot of problems with the old CC, and then there was the gas mileage and rising gas prices...

Then I found this little beast:



I just couldn't pass it up. Too much fun (and a lot better gas mileage). At least I still have the Jeep for off roading.

My wife says I have issues... I let out a *sigh* each time I see a new post in this thread... And the local Credit Union (where I financed my CC) has had 2 in the lot on repo's lately... I asked the Credit Union Manager about both of them, as if I could really afford them. I guess some people save stray cats, I want to save the stray CC's I am sick aren't I... *Sigh*

I'm sad to see the crew go. Nice to see you in a happy new ride though. I too went through my VW phase. I survived it though
It takes deep pockets to own one. Glad to see you are doing well j/k
Are you getting an Ipad to go with it?

Are you getting an Ipad to go with it?

Nah! Already have an iPhone!

I sort of hated to get rid of the Crew but after my wife was done beating the heck out of it driving to and from work for a few years (door dings, dents, stuff spilled in the interior, etc) and all the little mechanical problem (some weren't that little), I decided it was time. Then there is the rising gas prices. On a note of irony though, I just discovered this morning that the GTI only uses premium fuel. Didn't thiink about that!

WileyHunter,

Yeah, I have a thing for saving orphaned cars and other things too. Somebody gave me a motorcycle last year and I'm still pouring money into it trying to get it running. Hmm, maybe that was why it was free? Could have bought a nice used one by now. Oh well!

[Gary H]

Oh, hey Brule. Do you still have the picture that was on the front page of the old S-10Crewcab.com site? I wonder if the other three are still around.

[HenryJ]

The Iphone rocks! Wish I had one The Touch is as good as I can do.

This picture?



I don't recall any "former" trucks showing back up here with their new owners.

[Gary H]

Yeah, that's the picture. I wanted a copy to save so I could reflect back on the glory days of the old CrewCab. Unfortunately, after I got it back from my wife who beat the stuffing out of the poor beast for 3 years by driving it in Northern Va traffic to work everyday, it just never looked that good anymore. I think the white one next to mine was Jeff's (Gocountry?) and I can't remember the other two.

Yep The White One Was Mine, The Tan One Was "Jeff024" And I Can't Remember Who The Other Red One Was....

[gocntry]

The Other Red One Was SomeCrew.....

[Gary H]

Yeah, that's it. That was a fun day! So Jeff, how have you been doing? I saw a white CC going down the road the other day and thought about you although I know you traded yours in too. (I don't think it was your old CC though)

Anyone ever hear from quickbiker anymore?I met up with him about a year ago on a trail ride but haven't seen him since.

[F9K9]

I'd look on Pirate for Paul.

Hey all, I'm still here. Been on a long work trip away from home, but I'm back now. Been working out the kinks from some of our vehicles (my truck and wife's Blazer). My truck has a P0300 code, have a fuel pump coming in this week. I already replaced the coil, coil control module, dist cap/rotor, wires, plugs. Wife blew up the engine in her new old toy, 2000 Blazer. That's what happens when red dash lights are ignored. Anyhow, I'm back and should be wheeling a bit more now. My truck is still running strong. Just had the front axle kinda rebuilt, new bearings, u-joints and locking hubs. Guess it has been some hard 50k miles of wheeling on that front axle. Got about 122k miles on it now.

Hey all, I'm still here.

Awesome! Glad to hear it still lives.
