the guy who taught me to drive, and later a colegue of dads has ogled the tahoe from the first day he saw it..

never driven a yank before, but tomorrow he and dad are going to look at a 97 suburban 6.5 diesel!

i think he's gonna buy it too!

he's a great honest regular guy, and i think its quite possible we will see him at our meets in summer..

very disturbing and smelly trans fluid, also the guy refuesed to let either dad or his mate drive it, and would only drive it very gently...
