2002 Chevy Astro AWD, a new waterpump last Christmas self-destructed in 60 miles going down the highway, the catastrophic temperature rise cooked the head gaskets...and with the body starting to rust out i decided I wasn't wanting to work on it anymore, off to the scrapyard, along with a 2005 E150 van that was the work truck.
I'm another with a 1991 MR2, but that's been parked for way too long.
And the other fun car, a 2008 BMW 335XI. (And more, LOL)

tacoma , highlander
2007 Yaris bought to save $ on commuting
had it all TRD'd up sway bars fat tires , Cold Air Intake , front shock pillar supports ,
fun to drive , but really it was a piece of Shit
terrible seats and the car leaked everytime you drove in the rain
the backseat foot wells would fill with water
battery leaked all over the brake piston
bat was badly placed above critical components
just all around flimsy AF
only Toyota i regretted buying
worst part I had sold my Gen one PreRunner
as it was a pig on gas to save $ with that POS Yaris
Thanks G Bush & your War

That was my other top choice. How do you think the two trucks compare?
I actually like the Colorado better for its ride, rear seat space and overall look. There's always cons. I had nearly 11,000 miles on it and it was already using a quart of oil between oil changes. They finally fixed the electrical gremlins, at least in mines. The transmission had begun the shutters occasionally. So, I traded the Colorado for the Tacoma for reliability.

Thanks! I have always love Chevy trucks and thought that Toyota copied their body designs, which is a good thing. I have had a couple Chevy trucks and liked them, but also moved to Toyota for their greater reliability.

I loved it, but it was just too darn small. Fit anywhere, went anywhere, but frustrated me every time I had to take anyone with gear for playing.

Technically I still have this big rig. My Tacoma does not arrive until the end of the month. A 2024 Silverado 2500. Honestly if the price of diesel wasn’t so outrageous I’d probably keep her but we have decided that we are going to sell our travel trailer and the truck. We are going back to tent camping which honestly doesn’t really bother either of us. The Tacoma will cost less to run, maintain and be far nicer around town. At the end of the month a 6’ TRD Offroad + in Bronze Oxide will be in the driveway. I’m very excited to get it.
