Comment on Your Truck is Stupid Big

  Correct. I meant the Colorado, which they took off the market for the 2013 and 2014 models to redesign as a larger truck. Ford did the same thing.

  That was a particularly dumb error on my part, BTW. I owned a 2001 S10 and 2012 Colorado. Now I own a 2020 NV200.

  If I buy a car, it apparently gets discontinued soon afterwards.

    I still have my 2003 S10. I got one of the last few thousand extended cab S10s made. I haven’t ever driven a Colorado, but…I don’t think there’s a pickup that will do the job of an S10 better than my truck, they’ve all mutated into 6 ton penis enhancement sedans wearing ceremonial miniature cargo boxes.

      I loved my S10. It was the best vehicle I ever had.

      I bought it in 2005 for $3,000 with 42k miles on it because the previous owner’s dad was a drunk and kept rubbing the side of it pulling in and out of the driveway. I didn’t care that the paint looked bad, and I drove that truck for 11 years. I sopd it when the engine gave up the ghost, but kinda wished I’d just paid for the repair instead of buying the Colorado, which I was never really pleased with.

      I’ve loved the NV200 though. I teach scuba as a side gig and it makes a great dive gear hauler.

        I get offers for my S10. I reply “What would you offer the Lone Ranger to buy Silver?”
