Yeah, normally where twins are concerned I prefer the GMC's looks to the Chevy's, but on this one I have to give the nod to the Colorado, but GMC does tend to have better interiors. They are very similar inside of course. I would like to get a crew cab long box in the future. Used preferably. Let depreciation work for me! I've always preferred the exterior AND interior look of the Colorado over the GMC Canyon; however, with this generation, I'd like to take the GMC interior b/c it has the option of the tan-neutral interior, which the Colorado doesn't have.

Was out a bit Saturday. Saw quite a few classic cars out ... & even a line of older trucks. Cool ... yet maddening. Cort www.oldcarsstronghearts.com 1979 & 1989 Caprice Classics | pigValve, paceMaker, cowValve "Do I really feel the way I feel?" __ Marc Cohn __ 'Walking In Memphis'

That would describe my 1979 Caprice Classic ... perfectly! Also my 1989 CC, minus the A/C (not currently working). But, dang ... some nice cars added to the list the last couple days. I'm not sure which I like most ... maybe the 1 balthazar posted ... or that Mustang....

Would you go with the turbo-4, V6, or stripper V8 model? Hmmm ... hadn't really thought of it since I'm not in the market for a new car ... & probably never will be again. HOWEVER, I'd probably either go with the V6 or a stripper V8 ... & of those 2, probably the V6.

Ohhhhhh, yes, indeed! With that list, I can see why. Of those you mentioned, Linkin Park is my favorite. I'd have to agree ... from personal experience as well. Chuckled at this ... b/c I'll listen to the AM sports stations from time to time as well.

A friend has amassed a sizable collection of GL & AW models ... a bit jealous of him. Being unemployed with no income since September 2013 has kinda killed the collecting for me. If I ever get a job, I'll be getting some of those models! Yeah, just a bit of space.
