you still love me anyway (5+1 relationship study fic) i need for living

im so close to finishing this chapter but have a lighthearted snippet <333

Footsteps creaked down the stairs again. “Tommy.” Evan came in with another shirt and a grave look on his face. “Be honest with me. Are you having a midlife crisis?” Tommy’s brows rose. He looked at the shirt Evan was holding. Okay, maybe sheer purple was a bit too much just because Evan had said to add some color to his closet, but like hell Tommy was going to admit that. “Says the guy who became a sperm donor at thirty because he didn't know what he was doing with his life.” “And,” Eddie pointed with his bottle as Cindy climbed his neck. “Dated a death doula after dying and coming back.” “Huh. Weren't those within a few months of each other?” “Man, you have no idea how glad I am that you came along.” They clinked their bottles, twin chuckles leaving their lips. Evan scowled. “Ha-ha, Diaz, laugh it up. I'll be your problem again when he sells our kitchen cabinets for a 2024 Chevy Silverado 1500 High Country and dumps me for someone even younger.” Tommy cocked his head. “You know I'm not that much older than you, right?” “Should have thought about that before letting me call you daddy in bed!” Evan shouted, already halfway up the stairs. Eddie groaned. “I did not have to know that.”

Plz I’m begging, can you give me an enlightenment of what a modern Maccready would wear. I’m dying to style him modernly and have no clue what he’d wear 🙂‍↕️

Hey gamer, thanks for the ask!

RJ grew up in Little Lamplight. The real life version is Luray Caverns, nestled 75 miles away from DC and protected by Shenandoah State Park and George Washington National Forest. I grew up in a town with a teen pregnancy problem where people wore RealTree Camo to prom. I now live a couple hours from Luray, so I feel Modern RJ is someone who I could have gone to high school with.

He grew up country as fuck - there's not an ounce of city slicker in RJ. All the street smarts he has is because he was observant enough to earn them. When he says he's from DC, it's because he knows it's the closest city he grew up near that anyone in Boston's gonna recognize. His fashion can't be bought in Georgetown or the Prudential Center, unless the trend of the day is blue collar chic being sold to the rich.

Modern RJ was the kind of country kid who's teenage uniform was a green flannel and a Master of Puppets Metallica shirt. He was the kind of scrawny where he was 130 pounds soaking wet and 2% body fat and wore the same blue jeans from ages 14 through 17. His second fave shirt featured Iron Maiden's Live After Death.

He cherished them; like many country kids who feel a bit different from their peers, he clung to his band shirts. You wouldn't catch him dead in Carhartt and RealTree unless he literally died while hunting. Not that he wasn't proud of his friends, or ashamed of where he was from - he just dreamed of getting out. Band shirts represented something bigger, a Great Beyond; a world he wanted to travel, a life he was priced out of living as an orphan from Virginia.

Buying clothes is not something RJ enjoys - he's a single dad and feels a level of guilt attached with spending money on himself, knowing how much grocery money would be wasted on a leather jacket and pair of jeans (speaking of groceries, RJ has a family of three to feed - Duncan insisted they keep that damn German Shepherd who followed RJ home from his mechanic shift at the Red Rocket). He's still driving the same red rusted-to-fuck '96 Chevy Silverado that he kissed Lucy in for the first time, the same one that drove them out of Virginia. Maintains it himself since he can get the parts at cost.

Though he's frugal, Modern RJ is picky about his fashion. His closet isn't one that features abundance. His clothing is utilitarian; earth tones in a range of faded browns and greens, duck canvas, twill denims with no stretch. A heavy mechanic jumpsuit for work. The coolest colours he wears are grey thermal shirts and a blue shearling jacket when in colder weather. There's an olive green jacket he likes in the springtime. He prefers a tough, protective pair of leather boots for everyday footwear. For casual shoes; given the choice between Chuck Taylors and Vans, he'd wear whichever was on sale, but preferably the Chucks.

He has a few long sleeve button-downs out of an eye-rolling necessity for job interviews. He hates wearing ties and has never owned a suit. Before she died, Lucy gifted him a brown shearling leather jacket to wear on his motorcycle.

He's most comfortable wearing his old green flannel and band shirts. Otherwise, he can be found wearing a white t-shirt and blue Levi's every now and then - Lucy always liked Bruce Springsteen.

When you grow up can't-rub-two-pennies-together poor, it means you appreciate the material things in a different kind of way. RJ's clothing is all about emotional comfort and memories; he's afraid to let go.

I loved writing this! Thanks for sending me the ask, anon! The people demand my RJ brainrot and I aim to please <3 Thanks again & have a great day :)

BONUS: An outfit mod I am working on for RJ!

Chevrolet Silverado High Country '13-15

[pluviatrix]

Well, I walk into the room

Passing out hundred dollar bills

And it kills, and it thrills, like the horns on my Silverado grill

And I buy the bar a double round of Crown

And everybody's gettin' down

And this town, ain't never gonna be the same

'Cause I saddle up my horse

And I ride into the city

I make a lot of noise

'Cause the girls

They are so pretty

Riding up and down Broadway

On my old stud Leroy

And the girls say

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Everybody says

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Well, I don't give a dang about nothing

I'm singing and bling blinging

While the girls are drinking

Long necks down

And I wouldn't trade ol' Leroy

Or my Chevrolet for your Escalade

Or your freak parade

I'm the only John Wayne left in this town

When I saddle up my horse

And I ride into the city

I make a lot of noise

'Cause the girls

They are so pretty

Riding up and down Broadway

On my old stud Leroy

And the girls say

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Everybody says

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Well, I'm a thoroughbred

That's what she said

In the back of my truck bed

As I was gettin' buzzed on suds

Out on some back country road

We where flying high, fine as wine

Having ourselves a Big and Rich time

And I was going just about as far as she'd let me go

But her evaluation

Of my cowboy reputation

Had me begging for salvation

All night long

So I took her out giggin' frogs

Introduced her to my ol' bird dog

And sang her every Willie Nelson song I could think of

And we made love

And I saddled up my horse

And I ride into the city

I make a lot of noise

'Cause the girls

They are so pretty

Riding up and down Broadway

On my old stud Leroy

And the girls say

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Everybody says

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

What? What?

Save a horse ride a cowboy

Everybody says

Save a horse ride a cowboy

this is the vibe rn

Discover the 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500

What You Need To Know

This versatile, well-built half-ton truck is perfect for daily use, engineered to work hard while regularly carrying light loads.  Available since the end of 2022, this is a durable and resilient five-person truck with optimum power and increased efficiency that drives extremely well on challenging roads and can tackle off-road journeys with ease, too.

New Features 

This version of the Silverado has increased power with its reformed turbocharged 3.0 liter Duramax engine, increasing output to 305 horsepower and 495 pound-feet of torque. It also boasts a modified combustion bowl, updated fuel injectors, and different pistons, which aid strength and create a more dynamic truck altogether.

The interior has benefitted from a 10-way power driver’s seat and power lumbar control. It now has the option for a crew cab and an adult-length bed to provide optimum comfort for passengers and increased space for cargo. The new option of a 5.3-liter V-8 engine gives more speed and increased efficiency. If you pick this engine, you can then add the upgraded Z71 off-road package, which turns tough journeys into an absolute pleasure.

How Safe Is It?

Every model is fitted with several excellent driver-assistance features like Adaptive Cruise Control and Park Assist. The top-tier High Country model offers the addition of both GM hands-free driver technology and Super Cruise. Its safety is increased by the forward collision warnings and an automated emergency braking system.With this in mind, the technology can also monitor blind spots, alert you to traffic at the rear, and warn you if you drift lanes.

Engine and Performance

The Silverado is blessed with many engine/transmission combinations, the most impressive being the 6.2-liter, which can thrust the vehicle from 0 to 60 mph in less than 6 seconds. Its 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque make it a real force to be reckoned with. Other engines available include two V-8s, the turbocharged four-cylinder, and the Duramax diesel 3-liter inline-six, allowing the powerful Silverado to provide an effortless, smooth ride.

Comfort

The soft padding and support maintain comfort even on long journeys and while driving off-road, plus you can barely feel any small impacts from uneven surfaces. Climate Control allows you to alter the temperature inside the cabin, with the addition of ventilated, split-headed front seats if you wish.

Any truck including the LT trim and upwards has a sleek, updated dashboard with a gigantic 12.3-inch, accessible touchscreen. The High-Country is especially attractive with its leather interior and wood trim. The crew cab is adorned with a spacious back seat and compact storage is scattered throughout the cabin. Bed lengths vary from 5.8-to-8.1 feet, providing comfortable rest when needed.

Keith Urban - High

#CountryMusic

So today on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), we will be talking about the latest album from Country Music Superstar Keith Urban. The new album is titled "High" and was released on Friday September 20th, 2024. But before we talk about the new 12 track CD, let's talk about Keith's career first for a bit.

Some of the biggest hits from Keith include songs such as "Blue ain't your color", "Somebody like you", & "The fighter" with Carrie Underwood. He also had hits like "One too many" with P!nk, "You'll think of me", & "We were" featuring Miranda Lambert. Keith has also scored 4 number ones on my weekly list MSR (Midnight Star Report). The list used to include both GAC (Great American Country), & CMT (Country Music Television). The list now include both Billboard Country Music Airplay Charts, & the Country Countdown USA. Here is the new project up next.

Let's talk about some highlights from the new project which include the lead single "Messed up as me", & his song with Lainey Wilson "Go home W U". Other songs you should check out are "Wildside", "Heart like a hometown", & "Dodge in a Silverado". The stand out track in my opinion are "Love is hard", & "Break the chain". Keith had a hand in co-writting 6 of the 12 tracks. ERNEST & Breland also helped in co-writting as well. Here is the rest of the track list now.

Track list.

"Blue sky".

Straight line.

Messed up as me.

Wildside.

Go home W U (With Lainey Wilson).

Chuck Taylors.

Daytona.

Love is hard.

Heart like a hometown.

Laughin' all the way to the drank.

Dodge in a Silverado.

Break the chain.

And that's a wrap for the track list. And on the MSR (Midnight Star Review), I would give this new CD a 3.75 out of 5 stars. This didn't have as many songs as Keith usually releases. But it isn't a bad album still. I am going to dock some points for really only 11 tracks from this new project. Thanks for taking the time to read this review. See ya all next time.

2025 Chevrolet Silverado: Power, Performance, and Innovation for Every Job

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado continues to set the benchmark for full-size pickup trucks, delivering unparalleled power, cutting-edge technology, and impressive versatility. Whether you're seeking a reliable workhorse or a comfortable, feature-packed vehicle for daily driving, the 2025 Silverado offers a range of trims and configurations that make it one of the most compelling choices in the truck market today. Let's explore what makes the 2025 Chevy Silverado stand out.

Bold and Durable Design

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado features a robust, muscular design that exudes toughness and capability. Its chiseled bodywork, aggressive front grille, and signature LED headlights give the Silverado a commanding presence on the road. Available in various bed and cab sizes, the Silverado offers maximum flexibility for drivers who need a truck that fits their specific needs.

Durability is a hallmark of the Silverado’s design. With a high-strength steel bed and advanced tailgate functionality, the Silverado is built to handle tough jobs. Chevy also offers an available Multi-Flex tailgate, which adds six different configurations to enhance loading, unloading, and access to cargo.

Impressive Engine Options and Performance

The 2025 Silverado continues to impress with a variety of powerful engine choices, ensuring there's a model for every type of driver. From the standard 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine to the available 6.2-liter V8, the Silverado delivers robust performance whether you're towing, hauling, or simply enjoying the ride.

The most notable feature for 2025 is the Silverado's upgraded Duramax® 3.0L Turbo-Diesel engine, offering more torque and better fuel efficiency. This engine is ideal for long-distance towing or anyone who prioritizes fuel economy without sacrificing power. Additionally, with towing capacities ranging up to 13,300 pounds, the Silverado is more than capable of handling heavy loads.

Advanced Technology for Work and Play

Chevrolet has outfitted the 2025 Silverado with a suite of advanced technologies to enhance both work and leisure. The truck's infotainment system is powered by an upgraded 13.4-inch touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, offering seamless smartphone connectivity. Select trims also come with wireless charging and a Wi-Fi hotspot, making the Silverado a mobile office on the go.

The Silverado’s towing technology is among the best in its class. It includes an available Advanced Trailering System that provides multiple camera views, including up to 15 unique angles, making it easier than ever to hitch and tow with precision. With features like Trailer Sway Control, Hill Start Assist, and an available trailer brake controller, the 2025 Silverado ensures that even the heaviest loads are handled with confidence.

Comfort and Convenience in Every Trim

Chevrolet has ensured that the 2025 Silverado isn’t just tough—it’s also comfortable and refined. Inside, the truck offers a spacious and well-designed cabin, with high-quality materials and plenty of storage solutions. From the work-oriented WT (Work Truck) trim to the luxurious High Country, there's a Silverado for every lifestyle.

Higher trims offer premium features such as leather seating, a heated steering wheel, ventilated front seats, and an available Bose premium sound system. The Silverado also provides impressive rear-seat space, making it comfortable for passengers and offering additional storage under the rear seats.

Safety First with Cutting-Edge Features

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado is equipped with Chevrolet’s latest safety technologies to keep you and your passengers protected on the road. Every Silverado comes standard with Chevy Safety Assist, which includes features like Forward Collision Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning, and more.

For those seeking even more advanced safety options, the Silverado offers available Super Cruise, Chevrolet’s semi-autonomous driving system. This technology allows for hands-free driving on compatible highways, adding a new level of convenience and safety to long-distance travel.

Why the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado Stands Out

The 2025 Chevrolet Silverado is more than just a pickup truck—it's a versatile, powerful, and technology-rich vehicle designed to meet the needs of drivers across various industries and lifestyles. Whether you need it for heavy-duty towing, off-road adventures, or everyday comfort, the Silverado’s impressive range of engines, advanced towing features, and luxurious trims make it a top contender in the competitive truck market.

Final Thoughts

For those in the market for a full-size pickup truck that offers the perfect combination of performance, comfort, and innovation, the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado is a must-see. With its bold design, range of powerful engine options, and cutting-edge technology, the Silverado continues to be a top choice for truck enthusiasts. Visit your nearest Chevrolet dealership to experience the 2025 Silverado’s unmatched capability firsthand.

Innovations Driving Growth in the Metal Stamping Market

The global metal stamping market size was estimated at USD 236.83 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2024 to 2030. 

Growing consumer electronics industry is likely to remain a key driving factor based on application of metal frames in mobile phones, headphones, speakers, and gamepads & controllers. In mobile phones, metal stamping is used in manufacturing antennas, chassis, and camera lens holders as it offers high tolerance, corrosion resistance, electrical conductivity, and a smooth finish. According to GSM Association, the global number of unique mobile subscribers was 5.31 billion in January 2021 and this number is growing at a rate of 1.8% per annum. This is likely to propel the demand for mobile phones and eventually metal stamping in coming years. 

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Metal Stamping Market

The U.S. is one of the prominent player in the industry. However, emergence of COVID-19 and subsequent temporary lockdown measures countrywide impacted operations of the industry. Downstream demand from key sectors including automotive, aerospace, industrial machinery, and others was largely disrupted owing to challenges in supply chain and dried-up demand from end-use customers. The situation has normalized as rate of vaccination has picked up pace. Growing demand for metal stamping in the U.S. has compelled manufacturers to expand their facilities.

For instance, in December 2020, General Motors Co. announced its plans about investing USD 6 million in its metal stamping facility in Parma, Ohio, U.S. The investment will be used to construct four new metal assembly cells to support increasing production of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks.

According to International Energy Agency (IEA), global EV sales surpassed 3.4 million, out of which, China accounted for over 50% in 2021. Government initiatives, such as electric car subsidies to local manufacturers to support growth of EVs are major factors responsible for increased production. This is likely to boost the usage of sheet metal during production of auto components.

These components include chassis, interior and exterior structural, and transmission components. This, in turn, is expected to drive market growth during the forecast period. Market growth can be hindered as automobile manufacturers are replacing metals with plastic and carbon fiber as they assist in weight reduction of vehicles. A 10% reduction in weight of the vehicle results in a 5% to 7% increase in fuel efficiency.

Increasing production of lightweight vehicles owing to stringent government regulations in various countries is anticipated to drive demand for substitute products. For instance, in the U.S., developments in the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations to enhance fuel efficiency are encouraging use of these substitute products in automobiles, which, in turn, is likely to hamper the market for metal stamping.

Le Chevrolet Silverado 2500 High Country et plus encore

Le 16 mai 2024

En novembre dernier, je publiais dans ce blogue mes impressions concernant le pick-up Ford Super Duty F-250, une très grande et robuste camionnette qui n’est pas très souvent couverte par le média automobile vu son application plus pointue. Ce genre de grand pick-up n’a rien de sportif et, au prix où il se vend, ce n’est pas une « star » dans le domaine. Toutefois, les grands pick-up de Classe 2 d’une capacité de 6000 à 10 000 livres chargés ont leur clientèle, soit du côté professionnel ou du côté récréatif.

Dans le cas du F-250, Ford m’avait prêté une camionnette vraiment professionnelle à moteur V8 à essence très puissant (et surtout très nouveau) proposée dans une finition de base XL qui s’adressait plus à des utilisateurs professionnels (commerciaux ou municipaux) alors que la semaine dernière, Chevrolet (de GM Canada) me confiait le concurrent plus direct du F-250, le Chevrolet Silverado 2500 mais, dans ce cas, en format High Country de luxe. Vous aurez alors compris que ce Silverado s’adressait plus aux utilisateurs aux besoins récréatifs comme les amateurs de caravaning ! Par conséquent, j’ai analysé ce High Country en conséquence.

Au départ, mentionnons que la gamme Silverado (tout comme sa jumelle Sierra) a été révisée pour 2024 avec une calandre redessinée et surmontée de phares plus stylisés. Il faut dire qu’au départ, les designers de GM ont dû travailler pour donner une plus belle « gueule » à ce Chevrolet car celle des années précédentes n’était pas de toute élégance. Cette fois, c’est réussi! La massive carrosserie à quatre portes était combinée à une caisse de 6,5 pieds spécialement équipée pour recevoir une attache à sellette ou l’attache à col-de-cygne (goose neck) dans le plancher. J’y reviens.

Même de l’arrière, le grand Silverado High Country a du style. (Photo Éric Descarries chez Pepinor)

L’intérieur du Silverado 2500 High Country est relativement semblable à celui de la version 1500. Ce qu’il faut souligner ici, c’est que le tableau récemment redessiné est nettement plus agréable à l’œil que le modèle précédent. En effet, dans le passé, plus d’un observateur avait reproché à Chevrolet de faire des tableaux de bord plus fades dans ses Silverado alors que les Ford F et (Dodge) Ram proposaient à leurs clients des planches de bord plus élégantes, mieux décorées. Donc, le tableau de bord du plus récent Chevrolet Silverado incluant la version plus robuste 2500 est certes plus intéressant à regarder même si les résultats chez Ford et Ram demeurent un peu plus élaborés.

J’ai donc trouvé le tableau de bord de mon High Country 2024 très bien présenté avec un bloc d’information très lisible devant le conducteur (GM avait ajouté la lecture à tête haute par réflexion dans le pare-brise au véhicule) et une foule de commandes redondantes au volant (dont celles du volume de la radio derrière la branche de droite de ce volant). Le centre est bien occupé par l’écran du système de navigation et de la radio alors que le passager a droit à une finition élégante. La console centrale est imposante avec plusieurs compartiments de rangement (le levier de vitesses est à la colonne de direction).

Les places arrière sont très accueillantes. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Quant aux sièges avant (d’une version High Country, spécifions-le), ils sont très confortables (ajustables), visiblement conçus pour de long voyages (une chance que ce Chevrolet était équipé de marchepieds escamotables automatiques qui facilitaient l’accès à l’habitacle).  Les places arrière sont généreuses à souhait avec beaucoup d’espace pour les jambes des occupants. Les coussins se replient pour offrir encore plus d’espaces de rangement (invisibles aux curieux de l’extérieur) ou un espace de chargement intérieur pour de larges objets que l’on veut protéger des intempéries. La glace arrière a une petite ouverture électrique alors que le toit est équipé d’une glace ouvrante aussi électrique.

La caisse a des points d’arrimage utile. Notez les couvercles au plancher pour les points d’attache des sellettes. (Photo Éric Descarries)

La caisse, quoiqu’un peu courte (n’oubliez pas qu’il s’agit d’une camionnette d’équipe à quatre portes), elle était surtout destinée à des amateurs de caravaning. Toutefois, elle avait des points d’arrimage pratiques et surtout des ouvertures couvrables dans le plancher de la caisse pour y attacher la structure d’une sellette et même une ouverture en plein centre pour la sellette (cachée) d’une remorque à col-de-cygne (goose neck), une option de 630 $ ! Il y avait aussi une prise de courant simple dans le flanc droit intérieur et de très utiles marches dans la partie avant de la carrosserie et d’autres marches dans les pointes du pare-chocs arrière.

On aime particulièrement le panneau arrière modulable qui peut se transformer en escalier. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Quant au panneau arrière (rabattable par télécommande), il incluait une partie supérieure aussi rabattable et la possibilité de le transformer en marche pour grimper dans la caisse! En passant, la capacité de charge de la caisse de mon High Country 2500 d’essai était de 3 817 livres alors qu’une version 1500 affiche une capacité de 2260 livres!

Toute une mécanique

Je ne m’arrêterai pas trop sur la suspension hors-route Z71 avec amortisseurs Rancho et régulateur de vitesse en descente de pente car je ne crois pas que ce grand Silverado soit le véhicule le plus approprié pour des excursions hors-route (quoique ce soit possible, surtout pour les habitants et visiteurs du sud-ouest américain…).

Sous le capot se cachait le V8 Duramax turbodiesel dont la réputation n’est plus à faire! (Photo Éric Descarries)

Cependant, je dois préciser qu’au lieu du V8 à essence de 6,6 litres GM de 401 chevaux et 464 li-pi de couple offert en équipement de base sur les Silverado 2500, j’ai eu droit au V8 turbodiesel (aussi de 6,6 litres) Duramax de 470 chevaux et 975 li-pi de couple combiné à une boîte automatique à 10 rapports du réputé fournisseur Allison. Notons que cette combinaison mécanique peut tirer jusqu’à 36 000 livres dans les versions les plus robustes de Silverado d’applications commerciales mais, dans le cas d’une version 2500, cette capacité est limitée à 18 510 livres (mieux que les 13 300 livres des Silverado1500). Bien entendu, ce Silverado était à quatre roues motrices sur demande, le tout étant contrôlé par une commande électrique au tableau de bord. Les pneus équipant mon High Country d’essai étaient des Goodyear Wrangler de grandeur 275/65 R20, des versions très capables en terrain moins hospitalier. Mais il faut alors tenir compte des plus de 7500 livres du poids du véhicules.

Sur la route

Conduire un bahut de la dimension d’un Silverado 2500 demande un peu de discernement, Ce n’est certes pas un jouet ni une voiture compacte. Une fois derrière le volant, on est vite impressionné par l’imposant capot surélevé.

Mettre en marche implique qu’il faille attendre quelques secondes (trois ou quatre) avent que le démarreur s’active question de laisser les bougies de réchauffement des chambres à combustion faire leur travail. Une fois lancé, le moteur diesel émet un certain son audible mais il devient rapidement plus silencieux que l’on s’y attendait! C’est le résultat du récent travail des ingénieurs de GM pour améliorer ce moteur.

Une fois en vitesse, le véhicule avance à un bon rythme encore une fois avec un peu de bruit. Mais le conducteur s’aperçoit rapidement que la grosse caisse se déplace très rapidement (de 0 à 100 km/h peut demander moins de 10 secondes, ce qui est impressionnant pour un véhicule de ce poids). Le passage des rapports de la boîte de vitesses est à peine perceptible et au bout d’un certain moment, c’est à peine si l’on entend le bruit du V8. C’est encore plus évident en vitesse de croisière alors que ce même V8 est très silencieux. Les reprises sont vraiment rassurantes mais il faut toujours se souvenir qu’il s’agit d’un camion de plus de 7500 livres quand vient le moment de freiner. Oui, le freinage à disques est efficace mais le poids y est toujours! Quant à la direction, elle est tendre sans être légère. La tenue de cap est relativement précise sur autoroute mais il faudra considérer la remorque s’il y en a une attachée au camion. Il est possible de commander l’aide visuelle à l’alignement pour attacher la remorque ce qui est recommandée sur un tel pick-up.

Le High Country dont il est question ici est un véhicule idéal pour de longues randonnées surtout grâce à son silence et à sa douceur de roulement. C’est pourquoi il serait aussi recommandable pour du caravaning avec d’imposantes remorques. Toutefois, ce n’est pas le véhicule idéal pour des déplacements urbains. Malgré ses superbes caméras (que l’on peut contrôler à l’aide de l’écran au tableau de bord), le Silverado 2500 n’est certes pas destiné aux stationnements en situation urbaine. Mais avec un peu de pratique…c’est possible.

En ce qui a trait à la consommation, souvenez-vous qu’au Québec, le carburant diesel (que nos amis européens aiment appeler « fioul » (…forcément de l’anglais « fuel »…) est plus cher que l’essence régulière. Mais un moteur diesel est aussi moins énergivore. Lors de mon essai, j’ai « réussi » une consommation moyenne (calcul à la pompe) de 21.12 l.!100 km (!) en déplacements moitié urbains, moitié autoroutiers alors que l’indicateur au tableau de bord marquait 19,8.

Le véhicule vous intéresse? Ce Silverado 2500 4WD High Country affichait un prix de base de 93 699 $. À cela, il fallait ajouter 2865 $ pour l’ensemble High Country (avec toit ouvrant vitré électrique), 630 $ pour l’ensemble d’attache col-de-cygne, 440 $ pour l’ensemble Z71 Off-Road, 10 995 $ (!) pour le moteur turbodiesel, 1725 $ pour les marchepieds escamotables automatiques, 325 $ pour le panneau arrière Multi-Flex, 315 $ pour les carpettes intérieures, 255 $ pour l’ornementation noire (!) 240 $ pour le ralenti ajustable élevé et 85 $ pour les témoins DEL sur le toit. Il y a, au contrat, une déduction de 50 $ pour des feux arrière en animation (!) mais un ajout de 100 $ pour le climatiseur et 2200 $ pour les frais de livraison pour un grand total de 113 824 $...plus taxes!

Enfin, il est intéressant de noteur que le V8 turbodiesel est garanti pour cinq ans ou 160 000 km. Utile à savoir si vous désirez faire le tour de l’Amérique en caravaning!

Une petite visite intéressante

La semaine dernière, après une rapide course dans le quartier de Pont-Viau à Laval, j’ai eu l’opportunité de passer devant l’atelier de Low Rider Montréal dont la porte était ouverte. Y voyant le technicien à l’œuvre sous une Chevrolet El Camino 1959 modifiée, je m’y suis arrêté. J’y ai été bien reçu par l’homme en question, Abel Giroux, maître des lieux, qui était occupé à remplacer le châssis original de la Chevrolet par un nouveau châssis plus robuste et caissonné (boxed) avec moteur Chevrolet V8 LS plus moderne (car les châssis originaux subissent, selon M. Giroux, tellement de chocs en opération et en démonstration qu’ils doivent être modifiés et renforcés en conséquence).

Le petit atelier de Low Rider Montréal semblait dédié aux anciennes Chevrolet. (Photo Éric Descarries)

Ne voulant pas trop le déranger, j’ai pris quelques photos et je suis parti me jurant que j’allais y revenir pour un article complet un peu plus tard. Après tout, un tel atelier mérite d’être connu!
