Default Up close and personal with a Trailblazer SS!

This friday at work at my dealership, one of master tech came up and told me, hey theres a Trailblazer SS out in the parking lot. So i just had to go and see it, i just had too! I heard quite a bit about these trucks and since their made at the plant right down the road i thought why not. i walked out to see and it's freaking bad!!! lowered suspenion, 20 inch wheels and LS2 6.0 V8!!!! as im looking the owner comes up to me and says; u like what you see? i said hell yeah!! looks BAD!!! he said it is freaking bad and freaking scary quick too!! i ask him can i look it over, he said sure why not. So, he let me open it up, pop the hood and start it as well.....sounds really really awesome, just one thing i dont like...one 3.5 tail pipe out the back needs dual for sure.
Then the guy tells me he's from the plant that makes the truck and also he says the truck is built wrong!! i ask him whats wrong with it, he said it's built with a roof rack, the SS models does not get any roof rack attachments. Well i ask him whats to be done with the truck he said probably crush it or let one of the higher ups drive it!! can you believe that ****!! crush a brand new Trailblazer SS!!! anyway, the guy starts off telling how much torque it has and revs it and power brakes it!!! When he leaves the dealership, he makes a left turn and hammers on it and the SS goes sideways 2 to 3 times and smokin the 20's!!! i think to myself; what a way to end a good day at work!!!

Sometimes vehicles like that will get stripped down and the parts will be used for training purposes, or even the complete vehicle itself.

Ive seen so much cool **** crushed, its sad

My old company threw away 10 crate engines because they had nowhere to store it in accordance with fire safety laws. No employees can have them.
We throw away tires daily, wheels, rear diffs with lockers etc- cant have any. all need to be scrapped.

so many cool engines/cars etc. so sad
