Boo hoo!

lol j/k I have had my Camaro average around 11 MPG for the entire tank (15.5 gal I think) lol

Pretty nice truck, not a real big fan of the extremes (atleast in owning one) but they do look nice. I am just not a truck person for the most part. So if we have another MI SG Meet you'll be there? When it dries up and my Camaro is fixed we can go snap some pics together! Canton isn't that far away...

extreme,

I dig the ride!

Is it a lease or a bought vehicle?

Take care of it well, and it will take care of you.

Always give it time on cold mornings to warm up, dont just get in and drive off. On cold mornings, I start mine up 7-10 minutes before I leave. I also run synthetics.

Glad to see you are appreciative of what it takes to get a new vehicle. Great vehicle looks like. I'm thinking of trading in my Neon and my wifes Avenger to get her a Trailblazer and just get myself a cheap used car to get back and forth. Maybe in a year or so when we are recovered financially from my bout with cancer...

Gratz on a sweet ride, inside and out!

My opinion is that Americans car manufacturer can´t build nice interieurs... Nothing against the Car ... nice Truck / Body!!!

But just look at the interieur ... *baah* is it like 1979 ?? Is the timewheel standing over there?? It is nothing against your truck but in general!!!!!! I hope you understand me right!

My dad bought a Cevy Camaro convertible 8 Years ago... I was 18 and had a licence to drive "woooooo" nice fun to drive a V8 5.0ltr. But the inside of the car was a

Look a BMW, Mercedes or VW their insides are more timely...
know what I´m saying???

I wish you all best things with the Car it is a nice BUTCHCAR

ENJOY you ride...

Just a thought while looking the pics.
