   It's blended on the Tahoe.  The Yukon XL is no longer my daughter's and her   
   mother has the Suburban because her mother's Chevy broke down, but I'm pretty   
   sure the doors on both were straight at the rear.    
      
   Something about the starter on her mother's car overheating and my ex told me   
   it was going to cost her $500 to fix it.  That Chevy has been sitting for over   
   a year now and I'm almost sure the engine isn't going to be functional when   
   and IF she has it repaired.  I'm naturally skeptical of anything my ex tells   
   me about anything.  She is no longer the same woman.

   I had a '84 C-20 with saddle tanks, so naturally I became a part of that   
   class-action lawsuit.  I wasn't even given the choice to opt out.  While the   
   lawyers in the suit got (not doubt) hefty pay checks from the settlement, I   
   received, and this is no joke, a certificate worth $200 toward the purchase of   
   a new truck with an expiration date!  I burned it.
