How is this a abortion? this is more stupid. But it's what i'm going to be doing. but with a bit more protection, and a shut off valve.

That is great . Just don't mix up your bong and your fuel gauge. Easy way to end up on "1000 ways to die".

 ... No "shrimp on the barbie" either?  . my '99 Tahoe has 289,000 nearly* trouble free miles on it. Not ALL GM stuff is junk. Best truck I've ever owned.
* orig trans/engine/etc.. Obviously I've maintained it well and replaced tires, wear items and such.  |
WOW, that deserves a GM watch.  Certainly they can afford to give away a Timex for vehicles that make it over 200,000 miles. Your Tahoe isn't yellow is it?

No, It still has it's c pillars... and not yella. No watch either, Timex or other.   . |

I kinda like that too. EXCEPT, I would have only used the upper tail lights and used some sort of round front turn signals and added some glass . Probably would have it painted as I am not a big fan of "patina", but thats just me.
Now lets see a picture of your 'mum'.

I think Gary could do an excellent job of finishing all the work on that one.

Maltov Cocktail starter kit? Maybe they want to increase the odds of a vehicle fire since moving the plastic fuel filter out of the engine compartment. They should call it a one-use ashtray.
