Finally did not do it

[geosar]

I bought a Sunburst Orange Z71 in Dec. 2002 when my son was a 10th grader in high school.? The ultimate fate of this vehicle was to go to college with him when he was allowed to have a car at West Point in New York. He is now a junior (cow) at the Academy and we were readying the car for him.? I have 33000 miles on this beautiful Avi and it still smells new.

This weekend we bought him a Z71 preowned Chevy 1500 pickup which has been well maintained.? He is happy and I still have my Avalanche after 5 years of dreading the transfer.

It was meant to be, I guess.? ?I really did not want to give up my knife and bowtie if you must know the truth.? Thank you for all of the help on this website.

you must be a proud father, congrats on your sons accomplishments so far
I don't blame you for keeping the av one bit

congrats on the fact that you get to keep your Av!  I'm sure your son is happy with his Z71 PU too.

Sounds like a win win situation to me. Congratulations for you and your son.

Avalanche vs childs education  hmmmmm that's an easy one....  OH wait a minute... I misread the post....
I thought you bought an AV instead of sending him to school   

Bad joke I know....

Sounds like you made a good choice... however.... he could borrow Mom's SBO AV for a bit while you're driving the new 07 in the driveway... As long as the "A's" pour in the mom can keep driving the minivan... as soon as things slack a little the minivan heads for campus and the AV comes home...

There's more than one way to persuade excellence you know.
