Chevrolet Suburban Seat Heaters not working.?

Both of my leather seats in the front are operational without a problem. When I press the seat warmers on (either side), the light blinks on for a moment then goes out. I can hear a click sound coming from the driver side (window console). Is anyone having the same problem or have had any luck fixing the problem

Pitbull vs. Chihuahua damage? Looking for advice- http://viewmorepics.myspac?

I have a 10-15lb. chihuahua/terrier mix who is currently being blamed for destroying a friends truck interior (the friend was babysitting while I was away for a week). The story is that she left my dog in the truck for 10 minutes while on an errand & came back to destroyed leather seats and seatbelts ripped into several pieces. My dog is being blamed for the destruction but she has never been a problem or damaged anything in her life (our rabbit bullies her!) My friend though has a 40lb. pitbull who she often complains about his chewing and destructive behavior when left alone. I don’t own a car so don’t have insurance to cover the damage nor know how hard it is to rip leather seats. I do know the difficulty involved in cutting a seatbelt as 2 friends recently died in a car accident in which an axe was to try to cut their belts. Just looking for the advice (preferably from pitbull owners or anyone who has more knowladge than I) as to the realisticness of my dog doing the damage.
Apparently my dog was the only one in the car. I’m just having trouble wrapping my mind around that much damage done in ten minutes, let alone by a dog my size (and the devil on my shoulder finds it harder knowing she has a pitbull. Nothing against him, he’s a doll, but if you see the damage and then the two dogs it really makes me wonder whose dog was the real dog that went to town that day?)
Wow! So much encouragement in so little time! You guys are great! Just for those who’ve answered: I feel kinda baffled at her accusation as until now I would have considered her my most loyal and trusted friend. Until I saw the pictures of the damage I had believed her, but once I saw the pictures I’ve had a bazillion thoughts (all blaming her dog, eek!) Now though I see no way around losing her friendship, which seriously saddens me. Even if her dog did do it we’ve been put into a situation that it’s her word against mine and if I push back (cuz I can’t wrap my mind around my dog doing that damage-and not just cuz she’s my dog and she’s an innocent angel blabla-just it’s so much in so little time) our friendship is lost no matter how we look at it.
Hope the link for the pictures os working now. Thanks everyone.

Do you think this a good story?

Okay, there is this werewofl named Alacia who’s parents are the leaders of the pack. They are kidnapped by vampires and she and her oldest brother, Shane, take their parent’s positions until thye find them. The vampire that takes them is Harrison, aka the guy she kills. She isn’t a good alpha because she feels guilty about the death of another werewolf who was also her boyfriend named atom. There are a lot of complications along the way. Here it goes. Enjoy.
The day was dark and dreary. I shoved the key into the ignition of my Ford F-150 and the engine reared to life. Josh was at my side and nothing could ruin my day now. The gentle breeze that was rolling into the cab of the truck was just enough two keep to people cool in a huge truck that the air was broken in.
I put the truck in reverse and backed slowly out of the short driveway and quickly turning around to say goodbye to my large, white house in which my family was. The red leather interior was chilly, but nothing we couldn’t handle. The truck was brand new; a gift from my caring parents. It smelled the way a new car should, had a nice radio, and was white on the outside. It was perfect from the smooth yet rugged steering wheel, the hot yet cool leather seats, and the obnoxious yet soothing music that always seemed to play.
I wanted so badly to turn my head and shoot a glance at our colonial home, with ivy growing up the front, pale yellow siding, red shutters, a gorgeous wrap-around porch, and a large willow resting in the front yard. I wanted to say a sad farewell to my other siblings, my parents, and my pack that was so valuable to the whole world, through no one knew of us. I wanted to put the truck in the ditch and race toward the place I was born and raised in. I wanted to do everything but go to Green Bay, which way only about an hour away.
“Don’t look back, Alacia,” Josh warned. I didn’t like the tone my boyfriend had in his voice. It was so…condescending. Like it was bad to look back at the house.
“College. Humph. I wonder what it’s like,” I said, turning my focus from my Valders home to the college that my tall, dark, and handsome Josh was going to spend most of his days.
“Come on, Lace. We can handle it,” he assured, shooting a positive glance at me.
His eyes were something you could only get in movies. They were a pale blue, almost translucent. His hair was short and dark, only about an inch short at the longest part. His face was tan, as was the rest of his. His face had finely chiseled features, like something only seen in a dream. Well, you may not think he is gorgeous, but hey, I am very biased. He is my boyfriend, so I guess I have a right to be.
I began to cruise down the highway like nothing was happening. We were covering tons of land in the truck. There were rarely any cars on the road. A silver Kia, a black Volkswagen, and a few others that I couldn’t quite make out what they were zipped along. The night sky was an eerie shade of gray, the road was slick and shiny, and the lights that surrounded the road were awkward. The little houses and shops that were strategically placed next to the road were dead, no life was in them. The bars were a different story. There were tons of vehicles outside of them and there was all kinds of hustle and bustle going on both inside and out. People were chatting and smoking outside, and I couldn’t tell what exactly was going on inside. Everything in Valders was usually quite during the day, but at night was when the few lights were on, the town turned into one big party; drunken people having a good time, teenagers staring into each other’s eyes, and dark houses showed that the inhabitants were sleeping soundly.
My mind began to wander off the road and traipsed into my home. I was thinking about my family that I had so rudely left. I could imagine me telling them I was coming home. I had just left to go and get…milk. Yeah, I’m not going off to college with my boyfriend in the middle of a rainy, stormy night so that I can live in his apartment with him and his old buddy. Yeah, there was no way I was doing that.
But I was and there was no doubt about it that I was going to go with Josh to UWGB. I wasn’t going to go and buy a gallon of milk. I was doing everything Mom and Dad told me not to do. Great. College, here I come! Or here comes Joshua Hale, I guess.
I just realized something; I wasn’t going to college. I was just turning into a meaningless third wheel.
Josh gently put his hand on the seat next to me, kind of hinting me to grab hold of it. I did, and by the way his body reacted, he didn’t like the heat from mine.
The windshield wipers were wildly swooshing back and forth, flinging the water drops out of my sight and onto the ground below. I had to be focused and not think about my six other siblings and two parents I had left. I really wanted to go home.

By the time we arrived, the sun was just starting to peek on
Atom was her 1st boyfriend and Josh was number 2. Atom was dead before she started to date Josh.
O and sorry that it got cut off.

New car or used luxury cars with my budget?

I am trying to decide if I should go with buying a new car or a used luxury. If I decide on a new car, this will be my first new car ever.

I’ve been saving money till now and my budget is set at 25k. I went to a toyota dealer and got a deal for new 2008 toyota camry LE for ,300 which includes all fees (destination, tax, dmv, etc) I double confirmed that this is the final walk out price, and he literally said "not a dime more.".
The options includes sunroof and leather seats (the leather on the seats are not from the factory. they will just put a leather cover over the existing seats, but to bare eyes you don’t see the difference).

I realize that this is a good deal, but at the same time I also want to look into getting a 2-3 years used japanese luxury cars with low milage. I am thinking maybe a 2005 Lexus GS, or Infinity G35, with less then 35k miles on it. (cont.)
My friend’s close friend is a dealer and he said he should be able to get me those class cars at my budget.

So I have everything laid out on the table, and I’m trying to decide whether I should just go with a camry or luxury. I really want a luxury car, but getting a new car has its own benefits also.

If it was YOU, what would YOU do? Would you go for a new car or used luxury?

My new 2007 Ford Escape SUV is totaled, so how much is it worth now?

I bought a new 2007 Ford Escape about 6 months ago, and it only has 8000 miles on it. After a recent roll over, due to ice, my vehicle has been totaled by the insurance company.

It was a 2 wheel drive XLT, V6 engine. With other features like leather seats, sunroof, cargo privacy cover, and upgraded radio/sound system.

I know a new car loses value after driving off the dealership lot, and that the insurance company is most likely going to give me a check based on the depreciated value of the SUV.

State Farm Insurance uses NADA retail value books, but does anyone have any other idea of how much money I should be expecting?

Can anyone find me some info on these rims please?

sema_dodge_ram_blue.jpg

Dodge Ram R/T
The Dodge Ram R/T starts off with a 2009 Ram Sport with a 380 horsepower, 5.7-liter HEMI V-8, a 4.10 gear and a high stall converter, which rockets the truck to impressive times. With this blank canvas, Mopar Underground created a Dodge Challenger inspired version of the Dodge Ram. On the performance side is a Mopar cold-air intake kit to keep the engine breathing and a Mopar dual exhaust system with a performance rumble. The exterior is painted classic B5 Blue, with a Mopar dual-snorkel aluminum hood and carbon-fiber accent stripes. A dropped chassis is possible with a concept Mopar air suspension kit. The look is made more evident by the body-kit which consists of sill and box pieces, finished up with a chin spoiler. For wheels, concept Mopar 22-inch Alcoas wrapped in 285/45R22s in front and 305/40R22s in the rear. A Mopar hard tonneau cover and a unique integrated spoiler are combined with the Mopar bed mat showing an ambient under-rail LED lighting system. The interior features Katzkin leather seats with body-color stitching to match the instrument panel and steering wheel. A set of Mopar pedals are installed, adding to the performance look and capability.

Can anyone find me some info on these rims please? I’ve tried everywhere. I’ve googled and sent to the Alcoa site but I can’t find anything and I really like these rims. (they’re the ones on the blue ram in case the picture doesn’t show up and you can’t find it on the website.)

what happened to the REAL trucks?

why do most people who own newer trucks nowadays have horrible features on them?
the first most important and worst of all is the four door short bed type truck. are you trying to haul things in your bed or have legroom four your guys. back in the old days like the 80s, trucks had 8 ft beds, not 4 or 5ft.
next is the toolbox on the back…
my rule is never compromise space in the bed for ANYTHING!!!!!
also what’s with step sides? don’t you losers realize how much space you are losing? Why WHY WHY!!!!???!!!!
also bed flat covers suck. you cant stack things up anymore like you can if it wasn’t there.
campers suck too. how are you supposed to get things like gravel in there? with a shovel? yeah right, you’ll need a bulldozer to dump it in.
and another thing, don’t put rims on your truck. trucks were made for work, not show, but i guess people have forgot that

now to the question… if you have good reasons for that stuff, let me know.. I would also like to see if anyone agrees with me. call me old fashioned, but i would drive my 81 gmc sierra grande single cab long bed over one of today’s girly trucks.

btw MEN DONT NEED LEATHER SEATS THAT ARE HEATED, AND GPS SYSTEMS. not to be sexist, but that’s all womanly things
