Hey Guys,

After deciding on the AV a few weeks ago I did a quick google search and found myself a new hobby (reading this website :D) I'll be taking the pludge in the next few days (well Im suposed to be at the dealership today but I came down with pnemonia) Nothing too major actually feels better if I do things rather then sit around so who knows maybe I'll go today after all :B:

I guess my only question I can't seem to answer is what does WBH stand for? I'm under the impression that it's the AV without cladding but can't figure out what the acronym stands for.

Speaking of cladding just when I thought I had my AV pretty much narrowed down I found out last night that we have Claddless models availeble in Canada aswell. After going thru the GM website many times building my own AV I've never found this on the Canadian site and I did see the option on the GM.com so I figured it just wasn't available up here. Well last night I drove thru a closed local dealer to see what they had on their lot and all 5 of his AV's had no cladding :p

A quick note about myself, Im 27 and live just outside of Toronto. This will be my first new vehicle. I'm already delerious with the mod fever! I've read so many great threads and great mods I don't even know which mod to do first. Hell I may have to lease this vehicle now just so I can afford a monthly modding budget :D

I can just see the dealers face in 3 years, what do you mean this isn't how I got it from you? ??? ? >:D

Anyways thanks to all you posters out there who have given me so much to read on here, I'm sure you'll see a lot of me in one post or another :love:

 
Welcome to the club TopDawG,
You kinda answered yourself. WBH=without body hardware
This will help and also there is always Search at top.
Acronyms & Abbreviations

CLADDING RULES!!!! Welcome to the Club. Actually I had trouble choosing myself. I think I changed my mind 4 or 5 times while the salesman was doing the paperwork. Either choice you make will be a good one.
 
TopDawG, don't forget to mark your calendar for Jun 4,5 & 6 for the Niagara Falls GTG.

I wonder why there were only WBH on the lot :cautious: Maybe all the cladded units sold first ??? Hey, seriously, we each have our preferences, if your's is WBH, great. Under the skin, we're all AVers.

:B: Welcome to the club :B:
:B: Happy modding :B:
 
hehe thx for the invite Granpa ;D If I get my AV on time I will definitly be there (not much time for modding tho >:D )

I signed the papers today!

monday the dealer has to find me a vehicle and put the financing thru :eek:

hopefully she can find me something or I'm gonna have to wait for that train to come in from Mexico with my AV on it :love: , imagine getting stuck at a train crossing and seeying your AV go by :p

now the real question is, can I get any sleep at all between now and monday :E: :E: :E:

well hapy AV'ing, Im off to read up on Amber DRL's that are always on :0: :2: (y)

I'll be joining ya'll shortly >:D
 
Welcome to the club!

Very nice Easter present.... a NEW AV! Way to go... one thing you could do while waiting is get your self a set of ambers! (all the cool kids wear 'em :cool: ) Sure makes it easier to spot members driving down the road with a bright pair of ambers coming at you!

So which AV did you go with? color choice? 1500/2500?...

So many questions.

Again, welcome to the club!

GM Canada employee's have received certificates to encourage people to switch over to GM...

If your interested in the certificate let me know

Welcome to the club.

I originaly wanted WBH, but the only SOM I found had "pants". I have found that the only thing I don't like with the cladding is waxing the truck.... Very difficult to keep wax residue off the cladding. I will be looking for a drywall taping tool to cover with something soft(ish) to alleviate the problem.
 
Welcome and Congrats. Guess it would make more sense if it was WoBH huh? ;)

Chris that's a very generous offer bro :eek: I'm really amazed at how great everyone is here on this site!

I went with 1500 4x4 Black with Cladding, off road and convenience pkg combo, added fullback leather, sunroof and hitch ;D I'm very excited!

The really funny thing is I have absosultely no voice, been hacking and coughing so much last few days I can barely whisper, even the dealer was making fun of me, imagine trying to get all the details sorted out while whispering teh whole time >:D had I of known nothing would happen untill monday I would of waited :rolleyes:

Leafs just won 2 - 0 so it's really been an exciting day, tomorrow it's off to the all about pets show (anything to get my mind off the AV :p)
