Got an 07 avalanche same color and all sitting in my driveway with less than 200 k miles on it. Love that truck.
Still trying to figure out what I want to do with it since I bought a 2019 Challenger.

1996 Ford Bronco Eddie Bauer Green and Tan. Stupid mistake to trade her in.

My '82 Yamaha Virago 920. V-twin, shaft drive, comfortable power. I was broke and sold it for $800 or $1000

Never needed a new vehicle, just wanted one.
Same here- bought a 97 Jeep Cherokee in 2001, sold it 2 years later for a 97 2 door Tahoe. Had to replace the radiator, brakes and rotors all at the same time that gas prices were approaching $2.00/gallon, so I unloaded it for a 01 Pontiac Grand Prix about 18 months after I got the Tahoe.
Finally wised up and paid the Grand Prix off before I got an 06 Grand Cherokee. That's the one I wish I still had. It's currently rotting away in my MILs driveway. Hasn't been driven in 3-4 years. I really wanted to give that to my 17 year old, but the amount of work it needs now probably isn't worth it- new tires, new fluids, new windshield wipers, new interior door handles (IYKYK), probably some new hoses. It's only got about 165K miles on it.

My favorite daily driver that I have owned. Fantastic truck.
Suburban with a box.
The old boy at Home Depot was amazed when I slid 15 sheets of drywall in the back and closed the tailgate.

My only beef with the Avalanche was how all that plastic trim would fade so quickly.

1996 exactly like this one

1988 K5 Blazer. Was a total piece of shite but still the best looking body style GM SUV ever built. The last year that the top came off. Thing was GORGEOUS. Black and silver with silver pin striping (most of them in this color had Chevy Orange pinstriping). The only good thing about it was it had a SB engine (fuel injected) and a turbo 450 transmission. Drivetrain was bullet proof. Could not keep tires on the front, could not keep the front end lined up, could not keep breaks on it, the paint would not stay on it, the hood and the roof rusted within a year of me buying it new....the damned steering wheel fell off of it one time, seriously, tilt mechanism just snapped going down the road at about 30 mph with no warning. A complete and total lemon but man that bastard was pretty LOL. It was also the first and only new vehicle I ever owned.

All my classic Broncos. A 74' and a 69'. Both uncut, and would today bring several thousand more dollars that I sold them for 10 years ago. Also, my 1976 BMW 2002. Iconic little rocket. Slap a Weber carb on it and it ran like a spotted dog.

SEM trim black fixed that. The sail panels faded after quite a few years while the rest of it held up fine. I don't think I even used the trim paint on the storage lids or box covers. I know I didn't on the tailgate protector.
The 1st gen Avi had a lot more plastic unless you got the variant without.

Second one I hated getting rid of was a 1996 half ton 4WD 4 door Tahoe. My wife bought it new and when we sold it it had just over 500,000 miles on it and other than general maintenance and 4 power steering pumps nothing ever happened to that damned truck....it was bullet proof. The last 5 or 6 years I owned I drove the hell out of it hunting and fishing in New Mexico...it never complained a bit about oil field roads and mountain trails, it just kept going and going.
The third one I hated getting rid of was my wife's 1995 Chevy Lumina. Ugliest car GM ever built. Also one of the best ones ever built. This was a base model with no power nothing. We sold it to a woman in 2006 with almost 300k on it. She drove it for about 8 years and when she passed away her son drove it for a few years then his son drove it. It is now 30 years old, looks it, and has almost 700k miles on it and is still going strong. Never had anything done to it. Damned ugly car. Completely bullet proof. At one time they had a serious cult following because they were known to be almost bulletproof.

My first truck. 1979 ford ranger 4x4 with bench seats and a 351 in it. That thing was a damn tank just ugly brown color and the interior was like a red burgundy
I loved that thing and it fit me perfectly I stay on the lookout for a new one. But when I got money I can’t find one and when I don’t have money a truck pops up
Mine did not look this good or was it a f250

My 2003 Toyota TRD Tacoma V-6 with 5 speed manual transmission. Sold 3 years ago was still going strong and everything worked . Miss that truck everyday day.

1990 Olds Eighty Eight Royale just like this one. Wife’s car. Kept it 14 years and I can’t remember anything that went wrong with it. Nice highway car, plenty room in the back for kids and their stuff.

Perfect blend of simplicity with modern suspension and great looks.
There's a reason the GMT400s are so popular yet today.
That green was really popular back then. Thought the ones that had the two tone with gold along the bottom looked really good.

My mechanic told me the transmission on my 2000 Cherokee XJ 4x4 wasn’t long for this world. I didn’t want to deal with selling it (this was well before the COVID car crash) so I donated it. It had the shitty wiring issues that caused some random shite but never gave me issues. Only 130k miles or so. With the changes to auto donation deductions it was a stupid move but I hope the Kidney Fund got something out of the auction sale.
