Default Vette and Avalanche

I belong to Avalanche Fans forum and this forum, and have noticed that members from each forum usually have both vehicles.

I'm just curious to know how many forum members own an Avalanche too?

1968 Vert
2003 Z71 Lanche

I like Avalanches and have a number of friends who own them, but don't own one myself.

Presently we have 4 corvettes and an 02 Avalanche that we bought new. I used to go to that forum a lot, but for some reason, I kind of lost interest over there. I really love my Av. We pulled our 76 back from Fl. to NC with no problems and I use it to pull our boats. I wish it had the old 5.7 instead of the 5.3, but I have driven one with the 502 and I like what I have.

When they start talking about clear taillight lenses and amber DRL's, I lose interest. Only worthwhile thing I got out of that forum was the tailgate remote lock kit from Rod (sadly deceased).

There's an Avalanche fan forum? Really?
Bought a loaded '04 Avalanche for my wife last fall. Planning on selling it next month.

I have a '02 Avalanche Z71 in indigo blue. I love it! I now have two vehicles that have the removable rear window. I belong to the Avalanche Fan Club Forum, using my same user name. However, I never post over there. I also do not post here to often, but check the posts daily!

I once drove my Vette AWAY from an avalanche. Does that count? All my other cars are MOPARs.

Got an 03 Victory Red Av. I don't post over there too often but I do show up once in a while and get a few ideas and do a couple of mods to it every now and then.

My daily driver is an '04 Z71 Avalanche. I also have an 02 Z06. My husband is currently restoring a 70 454 corvette. I just sold my 88 vert. I love my avalanche. I have a bad habit of buying cars and trading them in way too soon, but I have absolutely no desire to give up my truck!
