Thanks to BIG FRANK for the " SNIPER SHOT ". The big bad GMC is my prefered chase vehice. This was the day I got the Speeding ticket from the OSP. NICE.

Sometimes I use this:

2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport, 4.0L I6 engine, ~170,000 miles

Sometimes I use this :

2000 EMD SD70M, 16-710-G3 engine, ~2,365,712 miles

Where can I get one of these lol???

I can get you a discount on a few. They are salvage titles but repairable. With a little TLC, you can have yourself your dream railfan vehicle. As is, where is, you tow.

Good one Bob - those are some expensive fixer uppers!

Since this has come up again, here's my (infamous) railfan vehicle with NS 20E in the background:

MY PREFERRED CHASE VEHICLE...
I'LL HAVE A SHOT OF JACK WITH A BEER CHASER !!!!!!!!

Is that DR. Dane? I see all the lights on the roof. I know Dane likes flashing lights. LoL.

Thats mr dr, me and him had a trip from hell getting my trailer down there, after re-wiring it I got a flat and had to drive around howell at 1am looking for a new valve stem.

This is the 2000 Ford Ranger that I drive, next to a much more impressive vehicle.

Time to resurrect an old thread.

Last November my beloved blue Silverado reached the end of its long life, at least with me. Scary messages were appearing on the dashboard (e.g. "ENGINE RUNNING AT REDUCED POWER"), and after 240,000 miles, it was time to say goodbye. Replaced it with a 2015 GMC Train, er, Terrain. If I remember correctly, that train in the background is NB Q385 turning west; this was taken looking north on Theodore St. in Plymouth.

I still have the same vehicle, though the photo I took seems to have vanished.
The paint is flaking off of the roof and trunk, and the front bumper is rusting and coming off. The only place the car has rust is where LeRoy's Body Shop in Benton Harbor repaired in in May 2008 after I hit a deer near Bradley, MI.
Here is a photo I took from the top of Castle Rock in St. Ignace, MI in 2015. I was the only person there at the time, and decided to pay $1 to climb to the top, as I seem to visit this place an average of once every 10 years, and I would probably be in my 50's and may not be able to handle all of the steps to the top.

9 hours after I posted this my car took a dump and I am now looking for a new one. I jinxed myself!
I got over 10 years and 214,000 miles out of it. It had around 275K and I was hoping to at least get 300K miles out of it.

Here's a picture of me in my ride with my railfanning buddy, Spot.

I finally had to upgrade the Danger Ranger this year after making an unscheduled stop with a deer. Introducing the Trac Attack, 07 Ford Exploder Sport Trac with the V8 of coarse.

Is it the 4x4 version?

Nope no 4x4. But it was a good deal and the V8 was a plus. Only 110k on the clock super clean inside and out.

Mine is a Train
