All of you are lucky compared to me. My first auto was a 1985 S-15 Pickup with the 2.5L 4 banger (no pickup whatsoever), but I did get it up to 95MPH but with a 4-speed manual you can bet the engine was wining like a bitch. My next and current vehicle is a '89 S-10 Blazer 4x4. Didn't know till afterwards there isn't much aftermarket for them. Its only got the 2.8L V6 which still sucks ass. Sure its a little bigger and a V6 but it weighs about half again as much as the little pickup. So when I get my Xterra its probably going to feel like a corvette in comparison.
