* I never had 1 of these Tonka Winnebagos as a kid but know a few who did. How about you: have or still have 1 of these? http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/06/08/monday-night-fun-21/ Perfect sign for a tire shop, but think I would rather invite people to a party, not a flat tire! http://www.oldcarsstronghearts.com/2015/06/08/daily-dose-mon-madness-21/ Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve "All that it takes is some time" __ OAR __ 'Shattered'

Most know by now I'm NOT into new cars ... at least, not as much as I used to be. HOWEVER, this 2015 Colorado-GMC Canyon duo has me intrigued. Would love to at least test drive one to see if my fascination has merit. From what I've read these last few months, it would seem that would be the case.

Nope! I don't, either. I've voiced before that I find it ironic that government(s) have cracked down on cell phone usage while driving ... yet, these infotainment systems are, in many cases, MORE distracting.

Well...........writing as someone who has sold a bunch of "sentimental" cars the last 2+ years ... if you don't HAVE to sell it ... & KNOW you want to keep it ... don't sell it. You'll regret it. I'm now having to consider the possibility of selling my 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics ... which would absolutely throw me into a deep depression ... lol.
