Default Bought a new (to us) car yesterday.

So yesterday we traded in the wife's 04 lancer ES (no cruise, smelled like smoke, auto tranny was slipping, cigarette burns in the seats, 70K miles, pile of ----) and they gave us (surprisingly) $5500 for it so we picked this up.

2001 tahoe LT, heated leather seats, front/rear heat/ac, heated mirrors, electronic seat position memory, towing package, roof rack, etc... pretty much every available option for this except the sun/moon roof and the dvd player.

$55 to fill it and 17 MPG.

We needed something we could haul our dogs in and something we could trailer our cars with.
