I have to agree with this guy. Yes the Trailblazer SS is a wicked truck, but your young still and get screwed with insurance. Buy something more reasonable and you can always save and eventually trade in whatever you get if thats what you still want later down the road…
You can always pickup an older S10 blazer and do a v8 swap. There you gain the experiance of an engine swap, and I’m sure theres plenty of people on the forum willing to help…
