A couple weekends ago, I had the pleasure of receiving a vehicle loan from the GM Northeast team! I got to cruise around in a Chevy Tahoe Hybrid for a week and it was absolutely amazing! What a joy ride! I mean, I’m used to driving a big SUV, but THIS was a BIG vehicle – perfect for my lifestyle and needs and I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!

I am a baker and it was perfect to help me transport some of my larger sized cakes around the boroughs to my clients.

And talk about fuel efficiency! Because it was a hybrid vehicle, my family and I drove from Brooklyn, got stuck in some NYC weekend traffic as we headed towards South Jersey and then shot out to Pennsylvania to spend a terrific day at Sesame Place. We did all this and drove the Tahoe around for the remainder of the week on a single tank of gas. We had a great road trip and an amazing experience!

I truly fell in love with this car and was so sad to see it get picked up and driven away from my driveway. It really looked great parked there! After this experience, my next vehicle will definitely need to be a GM vehicle.

Thank you GM Northeast!
