Don't lump me in with them. I'm an enthusiast of mechanic design, be it engines, weaponry, or productive machinery. Not a guy with a wrench that reads the marketing garbage AFE/insert other "enthusiast" brand that can't legally warranty half of their products.

 

I fail to see a correlation between people screeching variations of "forced induction is more efficient!!! Reclaimed energy!!!" and anything I've said.

If you can't be civil. Please leave

 

Edit. That goes for everyone in the thread

Doesn't matter since its a really nice truck xD 

 

Been drooling over this tax exempt LS swapped C10 for a good while now.. Don't have $19.000 to spend right now though..

Nice.  I love me some C10s.  My Dad has an old C10 (short bed with the side steps).  Just need to build up some cash and get it restored.  Want to get the larger straight six to drop in it too.  Thankfully Alabama don't smog check (so glad I am no longer in California).  Last my Dad check the engine is good.  Probably just need to give the engine one hell of a cleaning out.

I'm not 100% sure which i prefer. The muscle truck is a stepside and it looks damn good. But the notch in the side is great too..

Nice to see someone go with the six xD 

 

One of my neighbors has a late 80s C10 like the one above and it always makes me want one when it rumbles by. Its a 4x4 too.. Which is the one i want.

His doesn't have the sliding rear window like the one above though. And that is not common around here. I like them

I get the feeling. Though the complete opposite is happening to me recently.

Our phones at work are iphones. And i miss my honor 8 every time i have to make a phonecall. 

(Though its a bit easier now that i've figured out how to do it)

I'm missing linux when i'm using windows. (The GNOME UI in particular) But i use windows because i usually think that i'm going to play some games. (Never happens though) 

MacOS is not my cup of tea.

Honestly if macOS had all my Windows games and it was easier to install on non-Mac machines, I'd probably daily it. Windows is an infuriating piece of ass, and Linux never works on my machine properly because it hates me. As it is I plan on getting a base MBP with upgraded storage for college, because I don't see blowing more money on my laptop for a new battery, and the battery life would still be terrible.

I have similar thoughts on macOS without it being something i'd daily. I just don't feel like migrating over and learning a bunch of new stuff.

And since i'll never buy a mac i'll not have a reason to.

Windows is good enough. Its been good to me so far. And with the taskbar set to the left side of my screen and to hide away its quite nice. 

Linux has the top spot in my heart though. Even though terminal installs can be frustrating as all hell. Its great for general productivity for my use.

I really like the OLED panel. When you turn the phone about 45 degrees or so the colors do noticeably shift to a cooler color though. 

 

Bot it sure about this whole “True Tone” thing. @vetali have you noticed with True Tone enabled it just seems to make colors warmer and that’s about it??? But to me they are too warm.

I'm honestly up for the challenge of re-learning Macs, considering the last time I used one was like 2-3 years ago in media arts and that was on Snow Leopard, and I hate anything pre-Mavericks.

I mean you'll be fine in CA emissions wise if your car is 1975 or older, but have fun if its anything newer.
