| The 2017 GMC Yukon XL Denali. |
What I mean by that is that 23 years ago, I bought the equivalent of the car you see above. It was known as the GMC Suburban back then. My first wife was pregnant with our second child. She didn't like to fly, so this family of four was going to take vacations on the road, and a week or two of that with a toddler and an infant meant a lot of supplies, including a dual stroller, a Pak-n-Play and the like.
She wanted it in red.
I bought the SLE four-wheel drive model. It had every option you could get, which pretty much meant cloth seats instead of vinyl, an AM/FM/cassette stereo with six speakers and rear air conditioning. It had the most powerful gasoline engine available, a 190-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 (though everyone still called it the Chevy 350 then), It got 12 miles per gallon in the city and 16 on the highway no matter how you drove it.
The sticker price was $31,000 and change and I got it for $26,900.
