    What?!? :o Next thing you'll tell me is that he's gone all tubes! I know he did like to change things up periodically.

    Hey Dave!
    So cool you're working on something like this. Do you get to shape the ergos?

    Sounds like you're keeping busy.
    Hope you've still got some time/inspiration for tunes.
    Have you spent much time with your L800s yet?

    I was texting with him last night. He's doing well, he's retired now and living the dream.

    I hope you all had a chance to see the debut of the electric Silverado, as the interior is my baby. GMC is coming too !!!

    Good to hear you are doing well!!

    Quick sidenote/derail....but serious question if I may.... maybe you have insight....

    Will GM, EVER ....add reclining rear seats to their pickups?

    RAM does, even with the seat against the rear window.

    Ford or GM doesn't have this option.

    I would love a pickup but if I'm taking a roadtrip with the fam, I want my passengers to be comfortable. I have passed on the Silverado/Sierra the last 2 generations because of this.

    So many friends and I have the same views, want to move from a SUV to a pickup, mainly a 2500 for towing but need it for a roadtrip also.

    Hopefully GM is doing this.

    Take care man!!

    I remember the same. Sad, I always enjoyed his threads, and enjoyed the remodeling thread.
