So I have a new vehicle... sorta.
So I went out and bought this...
2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 Extended Cab, 2WD with the 5.3L V8 and 4 speed auto.    And here it is with the Ultimate Shit Box...  Ok, I'm tired... signing all that paperwork takes away all my energy... mainly cause of how much I just spent. It drives nice... probably handles better than my old LS1 Z28.  I mean, the Z28 rode like a truck... at least now I have a truck to go with the truck feel.

Re: So I have a new vehicle... sorta.
Oh yes... then we'll do like in the commercials... We'll find mud holes to go bounce through and steep hills to tow our rediculously huge boats up.
So we can justify our manlyness... God forbid somebody sees us driving to the grocery store in our V8 Guzzlers, or pulling our cars to the race track...

Seriously?? Drive it here. Let me borrow it. You can watch my dogs while I am gone. When I get back with your truck, it will be empty too!!!! August 31st-Sept. 3rd

Re: So I have a new vehicle... sorta.
No.  It'll serve mainly as occasional transportation long distances, or if I'm going out with friends. And to tow the Z. For the time being, I'll keep driving the Z to work. Only a 6 mile commute... I work my ass off at work and get sweaty...so driving in a car with no A/C 20 minutes home doesn't bother me. Saves gas too, only costs me $30-35 (6-8 gallons) a week to fill up the Z.

It will be towing something if you let me borrow it.
 Nice truck man! Congrats! I seriously need one for that weekend though.

Re: So I have a new vehicle... sorta.
Wow sweet truck. I'm just curious as to why you bought it though. I'm assuming that you are planning big things for the 240Z since you mentioned hauling it around, but I dunno.
I'm also assuming that you sold the Nova. Hope you got a good deal on the truck. I'm gonna avoid purchasing any vehicles for a long time. Looks like i'll have to stay content with the WS6 for a LONG TIME. Oh, and I agree, F Bodies suck for handling stock. You really have to pump money into the suspension to make them decent.

Re: So I have a new vehicle... sorta.
Yeah, the Z will be getting a make over in both engine and bodywise. So when that finally happens it'll be nice to have a tow vehicle to take it around to various places.
And to drive while the Z is down... And to tow the Z out to the desert for racing on the tracks, Willow Springs, Button Willow...and Arizona.

Re: So I have a new vehicle... sorta.
nice buy. the reason american companies are so good at suvs and trucks is because that is where all of their R&D aka new fashion with power goes into.

I hope you're not making payments on the truck Matty, cause I remember how much you hated that. BTW how much did you get for the Nova?
