Probably.
Which one ? Zr4? Or trade for whorange
Not sure. Offing the Volt is stupid, but I'd much rather drive the :truk: so could go either way.

Could see trading Volt for :truk: then when the Blurple :truk: lease is up next year, picking up something else that :tits: wants when she's sick of the :truk:

I vote this, and all the things you've bought for the current :truk: can just be swapped onto the new one when that lease is up.

Can't really go wrong when Government motors is flipping some of the bill. ~Three hunnit-three fiddy a month is dirt cheap for a a vehicle you'd actually want to drive. I'm at $500+ for the same.

Yea, there's no way I'll get another ZR2 for that price. That was a :unicorn: :dill:

probably just end up buying the orange one.

Agreed. :scrooge: would be the only reason, and I actually really like the Volt, so :notsure:

Volt is the :scrooge: move, and I understand it completely. Gobble up all the miles you want, free gas 0FG vehicle. Lease faces certain restrictions. But considering your lifestyle and the fact that you kind of don't care about mpgees, why not make the ZR2 move...? Only odd part is having 2 doe...

Is GM working on a Blazer like SUV yet? That would be a great vehicle to compete with the Heep+Rav4+Bronco

Wifey should get something like an employee XT4 with the smaller wheels, granted 3 some blocking badge, but she likely doesn't care, because heated all the things, + sitting up high + cute

Speaking of... EL OH EL, GM hasn't released the car yet... but the lease offer is out... ~$309+3k down which likely means $300/0 down for you.

I think If I pursue the Jeep, it'll be orange or that eye-searing green.

It has been discussed. She loves it.

I work on Chevrolet, and would prefer something less threesome-ending, but whatever.
