    Thumbs up

    I've only had the New Squirrel for about 4 months. But I went to Chebby dealership and picked up some brochures. I am first on the list at a dealership back in Houston for the "Dale Earnhardt Intimidator SS" but I was also looking at the "Trailblazer SS". What do y'all think? Should I keep this one or go ahead and get a new truck AGAIN?

    Added the links just in case. But I know y'all already know about these trucks.

    I'd have to check out the intimidator only because it's a limited edition and full size. The fuel mileage will probably be a wash. Might be tough to haul a refrigerator in the back of the trailblazer.

    that trailblazer looks like a hot little number to me. I think i would have to lean towards the lighter and quicker little SUV. I guess it would really depend on if you need to haul things in a bed though. happy trails

    Niether one is a Sleeper that's for sure.... From the factory the Trailblazer is quicker and has more potential.... Choices, choices...

    that's what i was thinking. they're not even out yet, so i don't know how much they'll be. OH WELL but that Trailblazer is pretty sweet too. I sat in a one last week when i went scouting for a new ride. i could debadge it and put some regular trailblazer wheels on it.

    Oh hell, just buy a Yugo and put a 7L in it with factory Yugo wheels. Talk about people with jaws hanging to the floor when you fly past them! LOL

    I've been dying to see someone put an LS1 in a 94 RX-7. There's a kit out there for it.
    No more trucks, but this is what I used to have. 2000 GMC Sierra, 6.0L-LQ4, Built 4L60, LS6 Cam, The Other Guys Headers, 3 inch exhaust and 7 chamber flowmaster, 43lb injectors, Nelson Tuning, Drop - 3/4 McGaughys Spindles, Bell Tech Shackles & Hangers. Best time 13.59 @ 106
