You're right! It's a shame that too many people sit and judge others while living life "their way". That includes people on both the left and right.

Our Trailblazer has been one of the best choices I've made. I can pick up "stuff" for the house and not have to pay delivery charges (saves money). Is it economical? Actually, it's not bad. I get about 17 mpg average suburban and 22 mpg on the road.

I plan most driving around multiple stops and try to avoid stop light racing. It's difficult as most people don't realize that a 275 HP Trailblazer can be pretty quick, when driven by a driver using both feet. At $4 a gallon, I would probably give the trailblazer to my wife and use the CTS more often.
