Default Need LS1 Tech input

As most of you know, ive been saving up for an S10. well i just went and applied for the loan cuz I've reached my goal of saving up $1,500 cash, and financing the rest. Waiting on if im approved or not, but thats not why ive called this meeting of the minds.

I wanted a Crew Cab, 4cly, 5speed. in either (black, White, Blue, grey) and this came up.

4cyl. 5speed tilt cruise cold a/c
power steering cd player
120,000 original miles
current registration
runs great...$3400






I need advice cuz you can all see its set up as a pre-runner. Bigger tires is less MPG's and mpg's is the reason im buying this car, but it has such a cool factor to it.

So i need your help. if im approved buy it? or buy a stock one. (non-prerunner status)

nice truck! your mpg's will not go down too much with those tires and to be realistic if you really want to save $$$ on gas a geo metro or a bike would be much better!lol I say get it if your approved.

**** you, ive raped people for far less than this. you think you can ******* come on OT and just act like a ******* hardass and order people around? Bad news for you, fuckface, but tonights the night your luck runs out. You ******* tell ANYBODY on these forums what to do again, and you're going to find out the hard way what a ******* baseball bat to the side of the skull feels like. Think I'm ******* kidding? I have your IP, I know who you are, and Im more than willing to settle this argument face to ******* face. Try and order someone else on here around, and see what ******* happens to you. I'm normally a calm guy but when I need to, I'm willing to break some ******* face to get my point across, just ******* test me you worthless sack of excrement.
