[A/S] Drove the Duramax Today





Well, we went in the nasty, windy rain and drove the Duramax Silverado 
and also drove the Suburban w/Quadrasteer.  Decisions, decisions.....I 
will say - they were both great vehicles.  The steering was great with 
the Quadrasteer, however, the power was very evident with the 
Duramax.  So, as we are not going to decide until about May - at this 
point, I think the Duramax would make the most sense.  After all of 
this, stopped off at Cracker Barrel to eat (it was packed with all of 
the Bristol rained out NASCAR fans) and while waiting for our table, 
we see a Silverado 1 ton dually pulling a longgggg airstream.  So 
after watching with interest while the driver expertly parked - we 
later chatted with them and discovered they were returning from 
Georgia to Ohio and this was their first trip in the AS.  They had 
bought the truck and AS together from an elderly couple.  They seemed 
as excited to talk about it as we were to ask questions.  All in all, 
a pretty good day.
