Never had any problem finding an S10 with all that around here. Seemed like there was a ZR2 on every coner for a while.

Look, it'* not flawless, but it'* an idea. We can fine tune it.

Love the body style, not sure if I'd want mine to sit quite that low.

seriously though, Iknow it'* been mentioned before but GM needs to get on the ball with some product placement. Ford drops big bucks every year to make sure their vehicles get featured in the TV show 24. I'm not the type who would go buy an Expidition because I've seen Kiefer Sutherland tooling around in one, but you 've got to admit there are alot of people who are open to suggestionlike that.

ive noticed in general that there has been alot more ford comericals on tv lately. hopfuly Gm gets the drift that they need to advertise and get out of this slump. because there slowly fading away.( bonne discontinued, olds cut completly,) :(
