    You all just need to stop, you are constantly demanding "proof" of everything JoshTheAwesome posts, this thread has just turned into some kind of strange interrogation.

    I know I just bought a new Chevy S10 But a 2001 GMC Sierra came down our junkyard and I like it. Pros and cons about each

    Chevy S10

    Pros--
    Better MPG
    Easier to park
    Clean interior
    No rust

    Cons--
    Struggles To tow my ace
    Not so great acceleration
    Less technology

    01 Sierra

    Pros--
    More Power
    Better towing
    Heated seats

    Cons--
    Worse Mpg
    A little rust
    Interior needs vacuuming and cleaning
    Needs new tailgate

    Which should I get

    Ditch the S10, I will not touch a 4.3 with a 10 ft pole, And with a 5.3 LS, that half ton should actually get just as good, if not better mileage.

    I see you bought a Corolla of Doom. You know, I had one too.

    It was a 1996 AE101 Corolla DX. Fully loaded, cruise control, aircon, automatic, you name it, it was on it. 1.8L engine, it was... well, it moved. However, this car had a few quirks.

    First off, it looked like this: IMG_4680.JPG
    Yes, that really is it. I loved this car so much. Second off, it had a bad exhaust manifold gasket and a hole in the flex pipe. So not only did it deafen you, but it leaked into the heater core. So, when you needed to use the car in the winter, it spewed exhaust into the cabin and it killed you. It also had bad valve seats, so oil leaked into the combustion chambers. So, when you started it, it smoked like it had elected a new Pope, it leaked into the cabin, and it killed you. Then (here's the real kicker), some of the front suspension components were badly rusted. So, I was driving down the road, the front driver's side spring broke in two places, sent me into oncoming traffic, and almost killed me. I promptly sold the car.

    I wish you luck with your Doom.

    How would we know? You didn't reference a post, so we had to assume you were replying to the last post before yours.

    It's not that hard to check which page you're on before you post, you know.

    Think you could spend a few minutes learning to use a forum properly?

    Let me guess. You got that corolla from Craigslist.
    Also, Poor Grand Marquis. It was a nice car the days it lasted.
