Just kidding.........I took my wife lunch tonight and since the burban dont have cup holders yet I took the Blazer. Well after driving only the burb for a month the Blazer felt light and nimble like a sports car!! It turns so easy and quick and feels like it weighs nothing, although when I put it in gear and nothing happens was strange, thats the differance between 4.11 gears with 33's in the burb and 3.08 gears and 35's in the blazer. I put the burb in gear and it starts moving, in the blazer you got to give it a little gas to get her moving.........hmmm cant wait to drop the big block in the burban!!
Anyway I got time behind the wheel in the blazer and it was nice to have cup holders and a radio.
 
I know the feeling. I like driving the family mini van when I need a nice piece and quiet and a smooth ride every so often. she complains about a tiny little squeek, that of course I cannot hear, and while she is rambling on, I think about how many miles did I drive the truck last because the gas gauge dont work , or how the hi beam indacator light finally works when I go around this one corner. :haha:
 
i can't believe someone actually admitted liking to drive the family van HAHAHA...I know the feeling tho. I have a car too, but don't tell too many people. Sometimes i drive it to work. It's an 05 and has all the power options. gets about 35 mpg where as my truck gets about 7 or 8 if i'm lucky the way it's tuned LOL...hell that thing could be runnin on 1 cylinder and i wouldn't know it compared to the way my trucks sound
 
thats whats nice bout having a 09 gmc and a blazer w no ac and big ol loud tires.. can have the best of both worlds... lol

i'm from a small town in E. Texas about 45 minutes SE of Dallas...i'm stationed up in WA State right now. The main reason i like driving my blazer 406 sbc on 40's out here is cause it pisses off the hippie liberals casue of my non green vehicle ;)
 
..light and nimble ..
I've got the opposite thing going - my DD li'l dinky car (plus all my previous small cars & Chevy Luv truck) makes getting into the Chalet feel like a weird kind of 'reverse claustrophobia'. There's those acres of hood to look across, all that open space behind my right shoulder, and it sure feels like it weighs 3 tons. The 400 is a novelty, though, none of my other vehicles had any kind of jump to them when I mashed the gas.
