Default Bought my dream tow vehicle

Today I sold my 2003 Z71 tahoe and bought a 2003 Maroon ESCALADE. My God is this thing pimp. I just thought I would post it because I am pumped...

Hope everyone is well...

Nice Truck! So how long before it has a blower on it? Maybe we should get a pool going here...

Nice Scott. Can't blame you a bit. Those have the 6.0L? An Escalade with heads and cam would be cool

Yeah really, I know life is short and all and but the thought of selling a brand new $45k truck at a LOSS of probably over $12k+- (plus the stereo upgrades) and then buying another brand new $55k truck is a lot of cash down the drain just for a little more 'bling bling' in one's tow vehicle/daily driver...could've thrown it into the TA (which you'll probably do anyway).
But then again, those Escalades are HOT!
Congrats dude.

I was looking at a FI set up for my truck, I talked to my guy, it was a bit much but I will do it soon maybe a year or so. By the way it isnt one of somthing,and it isnt a Supercharger! hehe
Magna charge does nice stuff tho.

Mark , VA put the money down not me, and payment only changed a bit. I only took a 6 grand loss on the tahoe.

Brent, expect mail middle of the month, also I had to buy the escalade to keep up with brent. he cant be the only pimp around...lol
