Trade in ws6 for new truck?
I have been considering trading in my 02 ws6 w/ about 28K miles for a new silverado. I have a good friend at a local dealership that can get me a 08 silverado LT1 extened cab with leather, factory 20's for $19,500. Think I should do it? The truck will be my daily driver. Gas is not much of an issue, obviously because i have a trans am now. I've been contemplating on getting something a little bigger and more comfortable than the ws6

Umm I did do the stupid thing of trading my '05 GTO for a silverado.. It was a dumb dumb dumb mistake.. I have regretted it ever since and every single time some little punk blasts by in his fart-canned honda, I kick myself. Trucks are useful and I've used the hell out of mine, but they can't handle, are slow, and in no way possible will give you any kind of performance satisfaction comapred to the T/A

I hear ya Gear Grinder. It's just a great deal on a truck and it is the exact truck I would buy if i was looking for one. There just is no utility with a ws6, but you give that up for looks and performance. I don't think i'll do it. I'll wait till i really need a truck before i do something like this and probably by then i'll be able to keep the ws6 and buy a truck. preciate the input.

I have a nice 99 Z-71 sitting in my parking lot and i have to justify my driving it evertime I get in it. The T/A, I try to talk myself out of like by thinking too many miles, oil needs changing etc... Then I get in it and go... They are so damn fun it's hard to keep me out of the seat.... Always amazes me to see those low # ones pop up. Met a guy in arbys last summer who just divorced from his wife and got his new f-bod. He picked up a cherry 4000K SS for less than $20,000. WOW. I thought I did good getting a 49 K car for 10k!!!

They are more useful than you think they are .
WS6 > Truck..

+1 i couldnt stop laughing when i drove an 09 duramax diesel, it was just so funny driving around in that huge truck and not only roasting the tires good but busting that thing sideways when it hit second gear!!! its crazy how much power they have, very fun truck.

Dont do it. I drive my truck for one day of commuting, I want to jump back in my car so bad. Only reason mine is for sale is because Im upgrading. Once your molded into an LSX, in my case, you will be missing it the very first minutes its gone. You will cry . I understand you want something more comfortable, thats why I drive my truck, but Im quick to jump in my SS. Try switching vehicles for one week with someone. Your going to blend in with everybody else and feel awkward if you owned the WS6 for awhile.

U would think u being from TX where theres a billon trucks that when you use a truck like i do for pullin, hauling, working, pleasure, that those rails are good for tieing **** down, and not hiting the side of the truck when your unloading something, and that brush graud pushes whatever gets in your way and the lights for bight light the hell out off somebody that pisses u off.
