Hello all -- I'm new to the forums but not new to GM vehicles. After 12 years with my 2004 Tahoe Z71 it was time for me to upgrade. After test driving close to 15 vehicles I finally found the one that's perfect for me. She's totally optioned out and only missing the adaptive cruise control. I was very happy with the deal we got -- 12.38% under MSRP plus a couple of free dealer installed add-on's. It had 12 miles when I picked it up and already have over 500 miles on it. No vibration or buffeting issues at all. She rides like a dream...

I sold my Tahoe to a friend who runs the parts department at a local Chevy dealer and he's as meticulous as me when it comes to maintaining vehicles. When I handed him the keys, the Tahoe looked as good as the day I bought it in 2004.

I'm very active on other boating forums and look forward to learning and contributing here too.

Here's the new baby with a pic of the old one at the end.

That 04 looks so minty. We've had lots of suburbans and Yukon Denali's nice to see you stayed in the family!

So tell me more about this boat :)

Thanks everyone! I'm really enjoying the new truck so far. As for the boat.... I've owned several over the years and my current one is beautiful 1997 Cobalt 232 that sports a 8.2L 502 MAG engine at 415 HP. She's a beast! My top speed is 67 mph. I picked this boat up last spring in Northern MN from a dealer who took it on trade. It was a one owner boat and it looks like a time capsule...not a scuff or ding and the engine looks brand new.

I'm big into boating and develop boating apps as a hobby -- www.boatingsuite.com

Here she is with my old Tahoe...
