Well, the body shop told me that more than likely my Explorer will be considered totaled. But, this dark cloud has a silver lining. I test drove the Avalanche today and I really liked it. My only question, is how do I get a GM discount? I am not a GM employee (Although if someone works at GM and knows of any IT related jobs that are open, I would love to apply) but I want to know if there is a special program for friends and family. Which brings me to my next question, if they do have a F&F discount, would anyone like to be my friend? My test drive was great! I only drove it around a parking lot because I didn't want to wreck 2 cars in one week (my neck is still sore and I can't total turn my head without a small amount of pain). I really liked it, but man, it is a HUGE car... err truck.

Glad to hear you liked the Avalanche....and that you're getting a GM in the Driveway Coupon.
For those who haven't driven one, ....go try one sometime....much quieter and better riding than any pickup (due to the fact that it is actually a Suburban)

The boys in the office here concur ...however, they're butt ugly, especially with the cladding, and are parked right outside my window.
BTW word is they really like their petrol. Posts: 4222 | From: Winnipeg MB CA | Registered: Feb 2000

I understand that you can get them without the cladding. Dont know for shure though.

You can around here, but it seems only 1 in 100 on the lots are that way ..so the odds of getting the color and equipment mix you want are slim to none ...and ordering ask me about it in Bowling Green.

Now if they'd just make them without the plastic stuff around the bed, but with a removable fiberglass shell instead. Then if they'd just leave out the rear doors and shorten up the wheelbase, they might actually have something .

They make one... its called the new 1/2 ton crew cab...
Until you drive a Avalanch or EXT you'll realize how nice they are... they are my favorite ride... I almost cried when I had to turn the EXT in for a 1/2 ton pickup.

Yes you want option code WBH (which means without body hardware). A lot of dealers in the DC metro area are ordering them with the WBH option.
The versatility of this vehicle is amazing. When I was selling cars, my manager loved my walk around presentation. It worked too. I sold one to Shag Fingers and he loves it, I also sold an Avalanche to his friend and he loves his too.
