my wife and i finally had time to go car shopping today, so after 8 hours, we are home with a new Chevy Tahoe. its that dark metallic green with grey leather interior. OnStar, tow pkg, tv blah blah blah. the general mgr of the dealership is a friend of ours so we picked the truck up for just under $29,000 for a left-over 01.

im just stoked that the wife wont be driving the Lightning anymore.

ill get some pics real soon!...chris

 

Congrats! Do you plan on racing against it with your L?

 

i think not!!

its the 5.3L but its still kind of a dog

 

The Ford Expedition did not catch your eye? I had one and thought it was great. Good power and turn radius and it is a Ford.

 

That 5.3 (LM7) isn't too terrible; I ran a 16.341 at Beech Bend in my '99 Z71 with that motor, plus Flowmaster and cold air. It's got pep. Yessir, it's peppy.

 

we looked at a couple expys, but they just dont handle anything like the tahoe. im really not into the whole ford vs. chevy thing. there is probably a car from every manufacturer that i would buy. we have wanted to get a tahoe ever since they redesigned them, so we got one.

 

I used to own the old design Tahoe. I loved it. Rode great, towed a ton and then some. Great vacation vehicle. Got rid of it for a Dakota RT, then got smart and realized what I was missing out on and bought the Lightning. This is the 1st time I have actually kept a vehicle longer than 2 years since I met my wife.

 

that said the wife was going to also get a Lightning??
You mean that Lorne's pig, er Expy, didnt get you all excited to get one for yourself?
just kidding.. my wife likes the Tahoe as well
good luck with it..

hey dana.... i actually have her on tape saying that she was open to the idea of getting a second L. i just think the tahoe will be a lot more functional the two 2 door pick-ups....chris

 

so tell me what you want from Kia...

 

and Hyundai

 

and there you go getting logical and rational about your vehicle purchases... lol lol....

my wife has a Suzuki XL-7... so I know where you are coming from..
enjoy
