Just bought this last week. Came via Fed Ex today, haven't put it together yet so i had to use the Amazon pic. It's only 72.5 inches tall, but it fits in my basement with the lower ceiling. I bought it from Amazon for $350 shipped. I had 160000 speedy rewards points that I traded in for Amazon gift cards to put towards it, knocked what I had to pay out of pocket down to $225. I put the $$ that I got from selling my basement crap on ebay to pay the rest and still have $200 left over. And on top of all that, instead of using a credit card or bank account to pay the rest on Amazon, I went to Speedyway, bought the Amazon gift cards with the $$, and got 6000 bonus points for buying the gift cards. I've still got 25000 bonus points left. Only bummer part of all this is that whilst measuring myself to make sure I could stand up and squat inside the cage properly, I discovered I am no longer 6 ft tall, I'm only 5' 10".

You don't look at all how I imagined you.

They are about an inch thick solid rubber mat, 3 feet by 4 feet. They have a raised pattern on the top for traction. You get them at Tractor supply for about $35 a mat. You can drop weights on them all day and they don't make a dent in the mat.

Is the car more square feet than his house? I tried to get the appraiser to count it to make up for the missing 300 sqft on the house.

Because the giant GMC logo on the grill wasn't easy enough to see?

Is there really any difference between the two other than the brand? Are the prices comparable? My buddy just got a suburban.

The suburban is the same price as the Yukon XL and they are the exact same platform. However, I think the comfort amenities were superior in the Yukon. The baseball stitched leather and drivetrain are examples... Ie, the XL Denali that I got (I didn't get wheel upgrades or moonroof and DVD... I added blue DVD aftermarket for cheaper)... Was $64k. The Suburban LTZ (I think that's their premium package) was $65k and it looks like this in comparison: I think the Yukon just looks better

I always assumed gmc was considered the better brand. I'll never get why GM has almost the same car on different brands. Just confuses mtdmans.

I opted to check out the Suburban to see if I could save a few bucks and was shocked that it was actually a little more. It didn't make sense... I'm guessing it is only because of the name recognition
