I have succume to rebates and discounts and gave up on waiting for the 2003s. Today at 6:00 p.m. EST I became an Avalanche owner. It is beautiful!!! Forest Green Z71 with tan sports leather interior, sunroof and roof rack. I got it Cartersville, GA just north of Atlanta. Its beautiful!! I've got to get a CAFCNA sticker for one side of the rear window and a BSA sticker for the other side and maybe a JSF tag for the front and I'll be set. Did I mention that it is beautiful. Pictures will be forth coming.
