Pictures of Our Sour Lemon

 

OK folks, here it is - the most controversial page on the site. Here's the disclaimer. This page is intended to poke fun at our Suburban. If you are the kind of GM fanatic that has no sense of humor when it comes to Suburbans then I would strongly suggest that you move on to a different area of the site.

Still here? OK, but don't say I didn't warn you….

 

 

Here it is! It looks nice doesn't it. Note the dark storm clouds on the horizon though…. It's just like driving a luxury car apparently. But without the car. Or the luxury of reliability.

 

 

 Ooops! Looks like the ashtray is making another break for freedom!

 

Check out the aluminum seat rails. They don't make em like this anymore. No, wait a minute. Apparently they do make em like this. Steel tipped boots are mandatory in the back seat if you want to keep your toes.

 

Hmmm. A little too much grease on that seat rail perhaps?

 

 You would think that with so many controls there would be a comfortable seating position somewhere. Please, if anyone finds it, could they email telling me how they did it? Note the cleverly placed seat back lever positioned perfectly so it grabs the seat belt when you try to put it on.

 

 Speaking of careful design. Check out the passenger air vents, cunningly positioned to keep the passengers knees at exactly the right temperature.

 

 While I'm on the subject, just what is this black thing hanging down from beneath the dash board? And why does it sound like there's a locomotive running through it when you turn the A/C on? From the noise it makes you would expect air conditioning of tornado like proportions rather than the mild breeze of which it's actually capable.

 

 

  A degree in Egyptology comes in handy when trying to decipher the hieroglyphics on this stalk. Let's see. Wipers, washer, indicators, high beam and cruise control all on the same stalk? The design chimps at GM must have been up all night working on this one.
