Pics of the New Ride >>>

I decided to trade in my wife's 2005 Trailblazer EXT today on a new Chevy Suburban. We are expecting our first child April of next year and the Trailblazer was out of warranty, had a few issues with it, and overall was not enough room or safe for the newborn.
Got a great deal they paid off the TB Ext, and 10k off sticker.

The exterior ooks very nice and the wheels look great. That must be one large newborn your expecting if a EXT TB isn't big enough.

Thanks

Honestly no the problem was the car seat did not fit behind the front passenger seat so we had to push that seat all they way up (we tried 3 different styles).

Oh well a new toy

I really like the new front end on the new Chevy's, it makes them look more upscale even Landroverish. Congrats on the new ride and upcoming baby!

Your Camaro is beautiful! It's funny because I'm liking the 4th gen style more and more the older it gets... and I've always liked it.

Re: Pics of the New Ride >>>

I love your Z28's wheels. Those are really great.

Also, congrats on the new Suburban and the upcoming baby. My wife and I are also expecting, #2 this time. We know another couple who are expecting their second child, so traded in their Grand Cherokee Overland for a 2007 Suburban. Amazing how big those little babies are, isn't it?

Right before our son was born, we traded in my wife's 2003 Saturn L200 sedan for a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. Just taking a six month old to the beach for a week made me wish for something bigger, as the entire vehicle was filled with things like a stroller, bathtub, suitcases, pack & plan, etc. front to back, side to side, and top to bottom. But we're going to hold onto the Pathy for at least 3 more years...it's been good, but I'd prefer an Acadia at this point.

Nice 'Burban!

Thanks for sharing the pics of the Camaros. There's something about those cars that make em special. Maybe it's knowing they'll dust 95% of the cars on the road.

Nice Suburban! I think you'll find that nothing else comes close to Suburban on versatility. My father had two that racked-up the miles with ease and worked hard when we needed them to.

Congrats on the baby!

Oh, and your Camaro is bad-ass! Love the TTs and classic badging.

Re: Pics of the New Ride >>>

I hear ya with the car seat. When our son was born, I had to move him to the middle of the Blazer so it would fit. It was too big behind one of our seats but the middle had just enough extra room so it would work. We traded that out about 2 months after he was born.

Nice burb man. Actually nice everything! Very sweet collection you got there!
