Bought a second vehicle, sorry guys its not a Ford

Well, with the 05 stang parked for the winter, I had to look for a second vehicle. especially with the snowy winter, i needed something with all wheel driver or 4WD. so did some car shopping for the past month and I was lookin between 2 SUVs. One of them was the new explorer and the other wasnt quite a ford. so I had to pull the trigger on this SUV with the 4000 cash back and discounts that brought the sticker down $6500. I couldn't pass up a STEAL on this suv. and here she is: (don't hate me guys, I had to get it, I still love my mustang and always will!)

2007 Chevy Trailblazer SS
4WD 6.0L LS2 (corvette engine)
400HP 390TQ
*black*
sunroof, xm satellite radio, cloth interior with stiched "SS" logos, power seats, 20" rims (standard), 4WD

already started buying her some goodies, seems these trailblazers are the same as out 05+ mustang GTs, typical Cold air intake and custom tune for more power, but I dont plan on that unless I know it will open up some gas mileage, so far the only thing I bought for her was an ipod hookup and a K&N drop in airfilter.
and what I heard this is the last year for the trailblazer...

here she is:

what an oxymoron..... you bought a 400hp constant AWD SUV and your some how worried about fuel mileage.
your going to burn that $6500 in gas by the time you pay the thing off.


sorry man i am not hating, but it just seems odd.

Thats pretty awesome. A bit on the big side for my taste, but 400hp is awesome!

I'll give you a thumbs up for buying American. Hope that bowtie isn't in the shop too much though!

Something black to drive in winter?
Good thing it's a Chebby, so you won't care what it looks like.
