Just picked up on 2006 trailblazerLT with 60,000 miles it had 1 owner who is 70yrs and who traded it in for a new Caddillac Escalade,my trailblazer is in mint condition and was well maintained by the Chevy/Cadillac dealer who I bought from where he bought it new.I`m not new to the off-road scene I have 94 Toyota 4x4 pick-up that I bought in 1996 it has 120k on the clock some rust but runs great,When I have the need for speed I also have a mint 1981 Bandit Trans-Am with 63k on the clock which I`ve had for 4yrs which I`m about to do an engine swap on,glad to be here>JA

Welcome to the site. So what plans do you have for your new purchase?
Once lifted 03 Trailblazer on 35's, gave it up to travel the USA with my family.

As of now gonna drive it everyday I`m really happy with it so far,very comfortable to drive,suspension is great, bumps I used to feel in my 05 Honda Accord which I gave to my daughter I don`t feel in the TB, not to mention quick too, 390hp is sweet,I like the Bose sound system I`ll doubt I`ll go off-road anytime this year but I can`t wait to see how she handles during the sometimes rugged New England winter,I gotta poke around this forum when I have time for all the info I can grab on the mechanical aspects of it.

Thank-you sir I appreciate the offer,I am up your neck of the woods a few times a summer with my Trans-Am at a few classic car shows that are up around there,I`ll try to remember to give you a shout as the classic car show season is just about done.
