My One-Day-Stand with a Chevy Tahoe LT SUV Truck

I rented a full-sized car from the Enterprise at the Hotel Nikko on Mason in San Francisco to do a day trip to Guy Kawasaki's house for a fundraiser. All they had was a big lacquer black, leather-swaddled, Chevrolet Tahoe LT.

They gave it to me for the same price and I was in heaven. OK, she was nothing like my BMW, but as I reported before, whenever I get my hands on an American truck, my heart leaps! The truck was a flex-fuel truck with an V8. There was plenty of rock-solid stability all the way up to 90. While I am spoiled by my 5-series german sedan, with its precise steering and its on-rails handling, the sloppiness in the wheel was OK because this is a Very Big Truck. The Chevy Tahoe 12:28:07 feels a lot less urban cowboy or yuppie than it does proper ranch-owner or construction company owner. This is a blue collar vision of a good time and of arrival. This is also a vision of the world that would fit in well in a motorcade — it is gorgeous enough to replace that Towncar if you have to impress clients picking them up at the airport. It feels larger than it looks from afar. I think it's a bit smaller than the Chevy Suburban and the Ford Expedition. But I could be wrong. I don't know if I will trade my gorgeous, well-loved, 2001 e39 530i BMW in just now. But, if I need another vehicle, I will surely consider adding this gorgeous behemoth to the stable, let the greenies be damned!
