...bought a new car on Memorial Day, that is! I finally gave up my 21-year old Tahoe for a new Equinox, because I figured, why keep the big gas guzzler around? And I certainly don't need the large room nor the high step-up space anymore, now that my daughter is a college graduate living on her own. Hopefully, my new car will serve me well in my travels like the old one did.
Go Cubs Go! Go Cubs Go! Hey Chicago, what do you say? The Cubs are gonna win today!

Congrats on the new CUV/SUV purchase! Chevys can last a long time if taken care of properly.

My mom always is confused by people who owned Tahoes because she couldn't understand why you would want a car that goes through so much gas.

I went to high school with a lot of ultra-wealthy peers. One girl got a Tahoe as her first car purely because her parents thought the Tahoe would win in an accident.

You can also have the left lane to yourself because everyone thinks you're a cop.  :D

When I first read the thread title, I was going to congratulate you on losing your virginity, but then I read the OP. :-D
Not funny, at all . . .

That's what I get for posting while half-asleep. :banghead:

My apologies, OP.

The objector isn't the OP.

Have to say I smirked.

Woof, lighten up a little.

Just to clarify, I've been happily married for 27 years, and thanks to those who congratulated me on my new purchase.

Yeah, I was amused too. I didn't think there was a need to apologize.

I have to request the boss' work vehicle when I need to drive somewhere for the job, and until last year he had an Equinox assigned to him. I really liked it. Someone else is driving it now; the new vehicle I use is a Jeep Cherokee. I think I liked the Equinox better.


Government would be tolerable if not for politicians and bureaucrats.
