Default Re: What kind of car do yoiu drive?

Stock options '01 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 extended cab. Only thing special about it is that it was one of the limited special production 5.7L with a 3.55 rear end (as opposed to a 5.3L engine, which was technically the largest stock production engine made for that year's half ton truck). Powerful and extremely fuel efficient for a V8 truck, it still can do it's share of hauling if I need it in a pinch.

Mostly makes a very nice road truck, getting about 24 on the highway and 18 in town if I avoid inefficient starts and stops.

Edit to add that it also burns through tires on the rear end pretty fast, but that's a small price to pay every 40,000 miles compared to every week at the pump.
