Default Houston we have a problem

My fiancee and I bought our Z28 in August 2002. She complained so much about wanting it, so I said fine. After I had about $2500 in aftermarket stuff on it. I don't know, but 400hp Z28 tends to make her want it...lol.
Well we are getting married on November 22nd, and she is wanting to get something more practical (we have 4 kids between the 2 of us). So we are going to get an Expedition for her, and she is giving up the Z28. Don't think this trade is coming with no strings attached. Here is the list of things it is going to need...

tune up (spark plugs, wires)
fuel filter
Belts
front rotors and brakes (drivers side just went to crap on the inside)
shocks (she doesn't believe in speed bumps...lol)

It has 63,000 miles on it.
I have had it dynoed before making 356hp and 354tq. I have SLP lid, K&N panel filter, FLP long tube headers, Borla Catbac system.

Thanks, I am not really looking forward to all the repairs at once.

Sounds like a nice car. Why an expedition when you can have a Yukon? Stick with GM. Good luck on the reapirs and the wedding.

She likes the Yukon also. She doesn't care really. Just need something big enough to haul some kidos and keep our sanity.
