In 1995, I bought a new Chevrolet S-10 extended-cab pickup.
I was working for GM and could get the company discount.
Also, at the time, GM had put out a new credit card with pretty generous points towards the purchase of a GM product.
I think I got several thousand dollars worth of points by the time I bought the S-10.
I wanted a dark purple color they had but couldn't find one at any of the local dealers.
So, I settled and bought a black one instead.
I chose the 4-cylinder version with a 5-speed manual.
I commuted in it for about a year.
With gentle driving, you could get about 27 MPG.
In that year, I had several problems (clutch rattle, dash lights going out, etc.). The dealer near work was terrible.
Ended up going to one in Simi-valley just because of the better service.
I changed companies/jobs in 1996 and stopped driving the truck. Several years later, I sold it to my gardener.
Overall, owning that truck was a bad experience & left a bad taste in my mouth...
Looks like an entertaining read...
Good looking car.
Poor quality & high repair costs...

Looks like the MB was the group's favorite...
