It's good to see another person like myself, a diehard GM fan. All I own is Chevy's. I wouldn't mind getting a H2 but its a little out of my price range if I want to get a new boat... Which Envoy did you get? The normal one or the XL, because the XL/Trailblazer EXT have many electrical problems and I was told by my dealer that if I bought one, I'd have lots of problems because of new technology. This is the same guy that told me this that I have bought around 30-35 vehicles since I was able to drive...

Z I do not have th XL version, I think it is ugly. I am actually disappointed in the lack of power with the motor. I guess now you can get a v-8 in them. I hope the average income per person is a lot higher in Canada than here in the states.
 
True enough said... I think the Trailblazer EXT, but I probably won't get one... I like the normal ones more... You can get the Vortec 5300 V8 on the XL... I think the just weird, too long because all they did was extend it, too weird for my tastes... I think I'll stick with my Avalanche and maybe a Rendezvous or a older Camaro/Chevelle... My income is enough to afford what I want and still live comfortably in my 5 bedroom house... Other people is a different story...

Just curious, what do you do, your bio said you were a 17 year old student. I find it kind of interesting to see what other people do with their lives and what makes them tick. I have always wanted to ask Jim W. what an Avionics Tech rep does. It sound intersting, to me at least. I am not psycho, I am just interested in what makes the world go around and hell, I just might learn something

Z, you either changed your profile, or I read the wrong one. I probably screwed up! Do you have kids for those 5 bedrooms? My next houe will be a little smaller but I layed the law, minimum five car garage with half of it 40 feet deep. Of course, that will probably be too small.
 
I am a firefighter... I really don't know what your talking about in my profile... I am 38 and I have 3 kids, so we all have our own room, plus an extra Nintendo Room as we call it... 5 car garage????????????????

Like I said Z, I probably got it mixed up. ASnfar as the garage, that is for toys, my shop will be at least 100X100 to screw around in the winter inside. Of coarse, I need to find the property to do this on which is not easy here.
 
Toys... A F-13 could go good in there along with the Sierra, Envoy and 240!!!!!! I should store my cars at your place, LOL...

You would have the cleanest cars around! When I want to forget about all the bullsh**, I start polishing and polishing and polishing... I was kind of embarrassed by the pic of my truck on the forum because it is dirty from all of the salt on the roads here. If a snow flurry is forcasted, they salt the hell out of the roads. I normally wash our vehicles 3 to 4 times a week. I know, I have a problem. You should see me try to keep the boat clean when out on the river for the weekend. Like we have discussed before, I HATE my stuff dirty. I would love to have an f-13, but know where to use it here. The river gets way too rough. If I had the room for a second boat, I would have to snatch Jim W's! I just love the Pulsare (my favorite Mate)
 
Oh my goodness, you are sound EXACTLY like me here... In the summer, I am out cleaning and waxing all our vehicles. When I am lucky in the winter, I can take my truck into the Fire Station and clean it overnight... I am basically the only person around me that has a clean truck in the middle of the winter, waxed and all... I get so p!ssed off when it gets all the salt on it... Here is what I say, "It looks good from far, but far from good" You'd have to get through me first for JW's boat!

You should get some pics of that up on the site. I just have one thing to say, don't take it offensivly, I'm mostly talking about other models, FOUND ON ROAD DEAD... I like Chevy but I can't say anything bad about the pick-ups...

It just rolled in my garage right now. Damn does the black look great. It will look even better with my mags on them. It isn't really my kind of car, but it does look pretty good! Here are my mags I will have on my Rendezvous

Well, the first thing to pull the boat is going to be a uhaul or something to get it back to Mass. Once it is home, for now I'll have to borrow my dad's 86 Chevy Suburban, black with grey interior, and a strong 350. Thats until I can get my utility vehicle on the road with a tow package. Nope, its not a SUV or a pick-up. Its... (I know I'm gonna get crap for this heh heh

) an 88 Chevy Caprice station wagon. Yup, I drive a wagon. To top it off, I love the thing. Rides like my living room couch, has all the room to bring myself and five friends camping with all our gear, and is entirely enclosed to keep us and our crap dry. Four full doors standard, and you never know when you'll need seating for nine! I would like to swap out the 307 for a 350, but I heard thats a major undertaking. When it all comes down to it though, I can't bring myself to put a hitch on my 69 Dodge. It just wouln't be right.
