General Motors thanks you!
I love your carport, looks like the Hollywood Bowl or something with the arched roof.
Had a 2001 Chevy Tahoe with the 5.3L Vortec, my buddy and I dropped a Whipple Twin Screw Supercharger on it, and it was a blast. It's still being driven around today, and was always reliable. Some interior squeaks though after a couple years...But otherwise solid.

Okay, if we're going to go down the reliability road, I've got a 1996 Tahoe with the 5.7L vortec that I upgraded with the diesel torsion bars in front and added a leaf to the springs in the back. I've had it since it was new. It's got about 145k miles on it now and since day 1 I've been using it as a plow truck (own apartment buildings), jet ski hauler, and utility vehicle. If our cars didn't already have the title, this vehicle would be named the beast.
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine, kaninja. :cheers:
That is hilarious... !!
And, as others have said, they tend to be more fuel efficient than the M cars. My old Suburban averaged 18mpg on the open road, loaded to the roof. Whereas my E60 (when I had her) struggled to get low teens and the Porsche gets me 14mpg in town.. go figure.
Enjoy !!
