So here's a DCM Roadmaster done up a little bit.

I don't necessarily approve of the oversized 17 inch tires but I like this general treatment. I like the grill also.
Anyway, I could totally rock this.

Missed out on a perfect LS swap donor vehicle.

This really couldn't get much more ideal than this. LQ4, probably maintained pretty well, 4L80E. Harness, PCM. The rest is scrap basically. But for $510, plus getting scrap for the remainder, it doesn't get better than this. The only question is, as an 04, did it get the big rods. This was a transition year. To be honest, for my goals, it doesn't matter.

If you lived in rural Maine, the rest could be a storage shed.

Don't forget about the Canadians. They love that, too.
