Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

I forget the guys name here I mailed the GM buying cert last year that saved him K's, BUT anywho, Just picked up a new Avalanche today taking advantage of Chevys "Employee" discount, available to everyone until July 5th.  Have ats Gents.  I spent the night pullin the exhaust off y 02, to put on my 05.  Ahhh that new car smell, and new Corsa exhaust is yummy!!!

No plastic on this 05'. W/O Body Hardware.  Jet black everything but chrome bumps.   It's gorgeus!!!

Yeah, Cat back Marshall.  I'm gonna try to post a sound clip of the Corsa.  I've tried just about all over the years, ands depending on the exact vehicle, always loved Flow Masters, but these boys here at Corsa are makin a nice piece!!  Expensive though.  But ya gotta pay to play, I always say.

Hope this works.  link to Corsa X

Looks nice Bill. I had a Gibson cat-back system once, it came out in front of the rear tires, they called it super truck exhaust. Since then I've gone to duals with 2 chamber Flowmasters.

if you have ever thought about a duramax diesel pickup,

this empoyee pricing is about $3000 less than  any rebate program GM has run in the last 12 months.

this would be the time to buy.

no haggle! i love no haggle!!

SHAMELESS COMMERCE

i work in the commercial department of a chevy store near NYC.

message me if i can  help you with a truck.

I like a throaty exhaust @ idle.  Then I was to be able to move without making too much noise.  I also like to make a little boom when I startup.  Along with that sound clip you might want to post up some pics?   

Whitedog, yes it is a great discoubnt they have going.  I did notice at my dealer that it would not aplly to "medium" duty trucks.  Not sure if the diesel you mentioned falls into that or not.    Also anyone else, if you go to Chevy's official site, you can plug in what truck ya want, w/ what options, it will do a search for you of where you can find it, and at exactly what price it will be after discount.  As Whitedog siad "no hassle/haggle" It is what it is.

I saw where Honda Motor Company is considering raising their prices on US Honda's in order to "try to help out the domestic auto market".

Would Honda consider lowering its Canadian retail prices to help out the Cdn domestic buyer?

It seem they've already been a price leader here to help out the domestic car makers, but people keep buying Hondas anyway.

I think it's a wolf in sheeps clothing. They're smart enought to realize that Honda owners are going to keep buying Honda's even with a price increase. It helps with their image which is already pretty good and will certainly help with profits.

Sadly some of us Honda owners weren't as smart as Honda. Had one, love it. Traded it in for a domestic vehicle which constantly needed repairs. Sold that one and bought a new domestic minivan that consumes parts like a chocoholic does smarties. Maybe I pay more up front for the Honda, but it seems I pay a whole lot less in maintaining it, which more than makes up for the higher price.

I'm not really complaining though, as the Honda service people didn't know me by name, but my Dodge dealer's service and I are on a first name basis. You really can't put a price on friendly social interaction can you? And I've almost got a dedication plaque over one of the services bays that I helped pay for. Just a few more visits oughta do it.  And I will have 20 holes punched on my frequent service users card that qualifies me for free coffee in the waiting area, and use of the easy-boy chair on a priority basis. So why would I buy a Honda again?
