A tahoe? Wtf
Other than they are my favorite shape ever for a vehicle. Proportions are just right. Old school "fullsize" is just the right size.
Many years ago I had a '95 model K2500 Suburban that I 12v swapped. Loved that thing and had big plans, but I was broke and nothing ever came about. Have always wanted to build another, but this time the Tahoe version for the shorter rear overhang. Turns out, finding a NICE/CLEAN/STOCK OBS tahoe is really really difficult. Like for real difficult. Most are just ragged out junk by this point.
So, one evening last month (Sunday) I was sitting in my comfy chair browsing marketplace and BAM there it was. Just listed, decent price, checked off all my boxes...etc.
But it was 5hrs away.
So I did what any normal person would do and hopped in the truck, grabbed the trailer and took off.
Got there at like midnight, seller was cool enough to wait up for me. Didn't even test drive it, just loaded it up and went back home.
