Default What to do?

Since the Camaro is broken...AGAIN!! stupid nitrous, I get the pleasure of driving the Tahoe for a few days. let me say after driving it to michigan and all over the place there and then back here again I have grown pretty fond of it. the more i drive it the more i like it. 124000 miles and still strong as ever. My lovely wife whom i bought the thing for might not get it back...as much as i love the damn camaro it may be on it's way out for a nice shiny newer silverado or sierra from GM. i guess im getting old. wanting to trade the fun expensive sports car for a old mans truck.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.

I did the same thing as you did and didnt really regret trading the car, however the dealership was shady so I ended up with my car and they got the truck back. I would hold out on getting another car payment, the new camaro is right around the corner ya know.

I just steal my wifes Trailblazer when I get tired of driving the camaro.

Then I would get the truck, I believe they are supposed to have a small block style diesel in the trucks in the next few years. They also have the great vortec max 6.0

yeah GM really did step up on that one. i have wanted a silverado for a long time...i was in Iraq when i saw the first test on the 07 and i just was shocked at how cool looking it was i love that grill, and hood. i came home in nov last year and drove one in Jan. and havent stopped thinkin about it since. make mine a black ext cab with either the Vmax or the 5.3 flex fuel. looks like I'm going shopping after work Sat.

Do yourself a favor and get a diesel. Regardless of brand preferance, if you can afford one go for it. You will be happy with the power, mileage, performance capabilities, and resale value. When I bought my first Powerstroke I was looking for a Lightning. Gave up on that becasue it is essentially a F-body with a bed...something I can't drive all year round in the Indiana weather. Next I looked @ Ranger 4X4. They were tiny and got terrible fuel economy. I had never considered a Super Duty truck with a Powerstroke until a buddy @ work smacked me on the head. He said; you want four wheel drive, lots of space, good mileage, good resale, and something you can mod. if you choose. Sounded too good to be true...then I drove that '03 F350 Super Cab 4X4 with a 7.3 Powerstroke. Bought it on the spot, my first new truck. Again, if you can swing the price get a diesel truck, they are bad ***.
