My new Daily Driver
 

Hey guys/gals, After long comptemplation and the sale of my daily driver 72' K-10, I decided I needed a new vehicle to drive. Keeping within the Chevrolet famliy was important to me and I really liked the Colorado after I drove it. Never owned a "Smaller" truck but thought this truck is really neat and will fit all my needs.

I want one :whine: .

Nice truck. I've looked at them and drove one. I thought it was nice. I just needed to make a little more money to buy it.

Goodluck with it,
Mike

Pitty they didn't have a YELLOW one!!!

Not a big yellow fan but nice truck!!

Nice looking truck. Hey Alex, it matches your thong :lol: :D

Congrats! Hope you enjoy it!! We love our reg. cab I5. Been getting 23 mpg with it pretty consistantly. Oh, and our's is yellow too. :metal:

I don't even want to know how you knkw this. :rolleyes:

:cong: :bling:

Sure ya do!! he posted a pic a while back on the shop talk forum with him facing the wall and holding a yellow thong over his shoulder. the color is a perfect match!! :D

Sweet truck, I like the bright yellow, I also like the coppery orange color they have. I think it's called sunburst orange metallic.... so just how long will it be before it has a V-8 in it? :metal:

Alex,

When did you sell the K10???????? You shoulda told me...oh wait...I have too many trucks now. :)

Nice new truck!

:metal: :metal:

Now wait a min...... That was a paid for pic and a challenge by the girls and Tree. Nice job throwing me under the bus dude!

That's a good looking truck.

Hey, Thanks guys...the truck rides awesome...I really like it!

Welcome to the toyota family.... the Cobolt and Colorado are based on Toyotas, even look at the key, take it to an Ace Hardware and compare it to a TR47 Toyota key... it should last you 200+K miles tho...

Toyota family??? :crazy: Whatever dude. It came out of a GM plant and wears a Chevy bowtie. Better yet none of my $ went to Japan as it would have if I had purchased an import...which I certainly would not have done.

I have one as a work truck..........pretty quick little rig

heheh anytime bud :D

Ya Thanks Dubes...no worries!!! I still have my bad azz 71' C-10 for fun driving....just needed a non leaking, slim to no worries winter mobile.

Oh....here's the front :metal: :

sorry, but somewhere along the lines, some of your money was sent overseas. while i'm not sure whose design it is, most of the major electronics probably werent made here in the states. BTW, what is the 1st digit of your VIN?

Whatever dude...I didn't post this thread to get in some ticky tacky banter...it's my new daily driver...and that's about it. Ever bought anything at home depot....it's 90% Chinese....that's not what this thread is about.

Kool looking truck. I like yellow personally I think its a good color.
