[QUOTE="JoeUSooner, post: 3622587, member: 55109"] From 1991 to 1999 I owned a little Chevy S-10 pickup (not the extended cab model), with a short/wide bed. Dark blue, with black interior and nice chrome rims. Added a few items such as a large toolbox, full-size spare tire, and a nice stereo system. My total investment was $9,100. It had the large inline 6-cylinder engine, with a 5-speed manual transmission... and in first gear, it could drag a brick building from Edmond all the way to Lawton! :burnout: It was really utilitarian and affordable. It was inexpensive to tag/insure/fuel... and it was FUN to drive (tight steering that would put it anywhere I wanted it!). I bought it with 371 miles on the odometer (a dealer's "test drive" vehicle), and I sold it with just over 130,000 miles, for $8,900. So I only took an $200 hit to the wallet over 9 years. But, damnation, I miss that little truck! I finally gave in to the wife's nagging (she has real political and psychological skills, insisting that I "deserved" a "better" vehicle)... oh, well...
