I finaly got a promotion and a raise and a great steady girlfriend, bought my first home by myself all withion thelast year. Both my camaro and blazer are 2 door cars and I sometimes have to take customers out. Never the less I am feeling pretty sucessful for a college drop out. So I decided to torture myself and test drive the new 3.6 direct injection CTS. I drove that car and fell in love with it, the center console and dash is the nicest interior that I have ever seen on a car. I wish I had 45k, seeing as how GM is giving cars away there was a sale at the dealer this morning so I went down, picked out a silver one. Sticker was 46,500 talked um down to 37,000 with the trade in of my 2002 Z28 I could afford the payments. As we were doing the paperwork I was looking through the window of my Z as they were asking me for the keys.... I got up, smiled at the salesman and said, Im sorry, im really sorry, i cant buy this car, he offered to work on the numbers. I said, can I get teh same monthly payments without trading my car in, he said no, i said have a nice thanksgiving. CTS = dope car, but no CTS will ever be as dope as my Z28, WTF was I thinking?

You have a Blazer and a Z28.
You are trying to trade the Z28 on another car.
WTF are you thinking?
Trade the Blazer, buy the cool CTS as a daily driver.
Retire the Z28 to weekend/pleasure duty only.
Quite simple really.
You can thank me later. Happy Thanksgiving!

Now there's a solution. Once you've owned an f body its hard to get rid of them.

Now THATS a nice *** Blazer. You should have mentioned it was a K series fulled sized Blazer rather than S10-type.
In that case, I amend my statement.
Keep the Z. Keep the Blazer. Save a bit more cash for a downpayment, then buy the CTS without trading anything.

Can't blame you for wanting a nice luxury car in your line-up. I'll probably be selling my '02 Z for a Cadillac in a couple more years. But I'm keeping the '98 Z so I'll still have an LS1 F-body in the garage...plus the old school Nova.
Think I'll be looking more at the STS though. Not really a fan of V6s myself, so the CTS would be a hard sell for me. And the CTS-V is off the table because I'm not interested in a daily driver with a manual.

My uncle runs a GM dealership and has one coming in about two weeks. He is gonna bring it to KDS here and make some 1/4 mile passes
