I was looking for a newer vehicle at the time for work and was initially looking at a Dodge Charger at the same GMC Dealership that i found the trailblazer at. When i got pre approved for the Charger i found out i needed a 5k down payment which i could not afford at the time. So the salesperson i was dealing with and i took a look through the inventory and found the Trailblazer in the list that fit the criteria to get the loan. Took the truck for a test drive and the rest was history.

First month of ownership: November 2012

Last month: after an oops with some black ice i temp removed the front bumper cover and let it sit till the weather warmed up allowing me to reinstall it properly. At this time i removed the plate mount and the lower black valance at the bottom of the cover.
