    2000 oldsmobile intrigue 3.5l.LX5 (shortstar), based on the northstar if that helps. these engines are known to burn some oil. i also have a small leak somewhere i believe. 194k miles and still running so i cant complain, i bought it with 118k. has been pretty reliable as well, very little maintenance besides some senors, 2nd time changing plugs, and the usual brake, rotors, and tires. If its based on the northstar, its a given it'll leak oil....

    The plug makes me think the plug hole was filled with oil from a bad gasket, and removing the plug drenched everything.

    I would probably try to learn to shoot right handed better, some people switch eye dominance, hard for me to say without watching you shoot. Pick up a .22, something like a Ruger 10/22 and work on trigger, breathing, etc. an accurate .22 off of a sandbag is an excellent way to practice trigger and breathing. It would really help if you know someone who is actually good at shooting and can coach. If you know someone that has coached at say 4-H or NRA club stuff, they may not know everything but at least they will know proper fundamentals and be able to tell you what to change and give you ideas. Only so much a guy can do by himself without having prior instruction on how to do something the correct way. Getting a .22 and actually working on fundamentals, getting better, accuracy, and being consistent will help you considerably. So you mean the dominance can switch? I shoot pistols lefty as of now.... oh why am I so screwed up??? lol I've known of people whos eyes switched. I also have met people who can use either just fine. Its really a personal preference as to what direction you want to pursue.

    Was it a Chevy or GMC? We have Chevy's here in the univ motorpool, and I find the GMC we have is considerably nicer on the interior, probably the same on driving. Needless to say my next vehicle is an early 90's Ford.

    Speaking of crappy GM products, my damn Cadillac is saying low on coolant again.

    I towed 8k lbs the other day in a 3/4 ton suburban with the 5.3L, that poor engine had to work.

    They aren't the fastest trucks, but they just really don't care what they pull and have great power. Buddy has one. Uber shitty. Drives like 1965 Now you of all people should know better than to compare that to the AMG. Last time I drove it was when I was still tooling around in the Silverado, lol. The '11 drives considerably better than the '04 we have (considerably better in every single aspect actually), but it is good for what it is, a work truck that is fine towing 8,000lbs. Ours are the 2500HD, the '04 is a Chevy and the '11 is a GMC.

    Only cause their british. Worst of all the nice ute choices BY FAR. Escalade? If they made an ss I am sure it would take the worst title back Last 'scalade I saw had a 6.0L and AWD. How much more SS do you need? A lot. If it can't keep up with the AMG, I'm not interested. The 6.0L is a dog in the trucks for what it is so I can't imagine it being better in the hood beast. I'm just saying that one of those are usually the requirement for SS in a GM vehicle. The Escalade has both therefore there is no SS to upgrade to. GM wised up (read: went bankrupt), stopped trying to make a "high performance" version outta every shitbox they sold and consolidated their high performance line to just a few key models: CTS-V family, Camaro, and Corvette. Cadillacs (save for the aforementioned CTS-V family) are luxobarges, Chevrolet's are their bread and butter brand, and I'm still scratching my head as to what purpose GMC and Buick serve. GMC and Buick serve to give reasonable interiors and seats that don't suck.

    What a wimpy ass hill. If they would have got a better running start at it, wouldn't have been a problem. If you are going to pussy foot around where you shouldn't be, you deserve to get stuck. Obviously the tires suck hind tit too.

    If you are going to use it a lot, the 18650 are by far the way to go. If its not going to need a recharge more than 2x a year then its a waste to use them. True. A set of rechargeable, and a box of 123a batteries to keep places would probably work pretty well.

    It makes it so you won't ruin your night vision.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    Makes sense then. I see its other modes are 55 and 150 lumens so it should work well for you.

    Buying can be done from www.bugoutgearusa.com or Amazon is always my go to.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    As for the batteries, I'd probably go with the CR123a's because I could go to best-buy and buy some if I need them, I don't know about the 18650 li-ion ones.

    Welcome to the IHoP

    460 Lumens for navigating around in the dark? Damn, you must have some REALLY scary guys in the dark there. I'd probably go looking for something around the 120lumen or so range. Or you could look at getting a red filter on the front of the light to help keep your night vision. I've got one on the front of my Surefire 6p that works pretty well.
