I go in expecting to lose my $10 buy in. I was 2nd, my other buddy bought in again so he was up 8. With what 6 tires is going to cost me in the next few weeks when I get around to it $7 isn't crap.

We play $20 buy in and i bought in a second time

We play for fun, none of us are serious players and we're all good friends so we never play for decent money. I think $20 is the highest buy in I've done. My problem is I get bored and start betting stupid, or betting blind, either way annoys people. Especially when I win not knowing wtf I have :-p

Ours is entertainment. When you play from 5:30 to 1 am, a $20 buy in is almost needed. It is a weekly thing with the same guys. It blows off steam from the week

We went from 7ish to just before midnight tonight. Beats being at home cleaning more. I'm surprised I got so much cleaning done. I guess I needed to make sure I got my moneys worth from that carpet cleaning machine I bought. That crap is exhausting. Sadly the carpets have gone way too long w/o a cleaning so it's pretty much too little too late.

I'm very skinny, and it's a tight fit for me on the creeper. Very easy to get burned. Jacking it up helps.

Every one that I've owned I've had to put on car ramps to change the oil. I'm curious if I'll be able to avoid that on this truck after I install my leveling kit.

It wouldn't be my first time doing it, and while it's not as easy as having it lifted I do save a lot of time. And I say that because lifting it will require that I go to my parents house which is a good 25 miles away.

What ultimately matters most is which method drains the most oil out.

Washed the Cruze today, along with the engine bay.

With the wash comes the usual where I find all the new chips, scratches, dents, etc since the last wash. 33k miles and the paint looks like total ass already. Here's the hood on the car compared to the truck with 240k miles.

The truck:

Super Clean really cleans it up.

I would have to say the new k2 trucks paint is not very good, chips everywhere on my truck and the metal bends and dents easily as well

That's how the Cruze is. It also has a small ding at the very end of the hood where a stone hit it. Doesn't take much these days. The exterior is shit, but hey atleast the interior is all fancy.

Ecotec looks and sounds good for cars but definitely not trucks, especially after the Vortec era

What does the trucks engine bay look like Daryl?

I agree. I don't have any current pictures of it at the moment.

I know this sounds like Snake Oil but I've been using this and it works pretty well:

There are different size kits depending on how much you want to cover. The "Road Rash" or "Squirt and Squeegee" kits are good for doing an entire front end.

I bought my Silverado new and have been keeping up with it. I also have a 2013 Cruze that we bought new but didn't keep up with. I am about to order the squeegee kit and try to fix the front end with that.

I've saw this advertised, I always wondered how good it worked.
