Well Rosanne has been driving her 2005 Suburban since 2007. It has been an excellent ride since she has had it. It had taken us to many CubFests in Florida, Georga, Indiana, Ohio etc, as well as to Cubarama in Missouri several times. It hauled three Cubs from Florida in one trip. With its 8.1L Vortec engine, 4L85-E trans and a hefty 3/4-ton chassis, It hauled just about everything I needed. We usually pay an average of $1500.00 a year for maintenance. However, in the last four years we have had three brake lines break. Fortunately two of those times they went out while in the driveway. Last Monday the front line broke again and the pedal went to the floor so I decided to take action. The old Suburban has over 177,000 miles and I don’t want to take any more chances of something happening that could really cause a problem.
Today Rosanne got an early birthday present. We will keep the old girl (the "05" Suburban) around as a backup, But Miss Rosie will primarily drive her present. She deserves it.
