Hey all, name is Steve. I'm from eastern Virginia and just bought my first SUV. I'm thrilled to have found this site. When I was shopping around for a much needed SUV and second vehicle, I was only interested in a Trailblazer. I absolutely had to have something to mod and play with. I was able to find what I wanted, a clean black TB with a sunroof and 4WD. I was into modding imports more than 10 years ago. Fast forward 10 plus years with two kids, two moves, a career change, and now in the middle of purchasing a new home, I have not been able to play with anything since. I'm here to learn as much as I can. I may not post much at first as I engulf myself into all the information provided on this site. I hope to one day be able to contribute to this site as well.

Thanks! I'm in Newport News as well, small world. I'm moving out of the city in about two months but I'll still be local.

Thanks for the warm welcomes. Navigator, I'll get right on that. jmar, your TB should be easy to notice now. I'm not sure I have seen a lifted TB in the area. I hope to add mine to that short list real soon.

Welcome fellow Virginian, once you get lifted, consider coming to a Tecore event, hard to pass up when you're only 3 hours or so away.

Thank you. I just looked up old threads about the Tecore events. Looks awesome and I am going to be using the event as a goal for my TB.
