    I bought a new 99 S10 back then, same pewter color, but mine had the ZQ8 pkg,same lowering kit as the Extreme with Gator year gator tires, it handled like a Porsche but had a very low powered 4 cylinder but still loved that truck

      It really does handle well. I've gotten so used to it that I scare people taking 55mph turns at 75mph smoothly

    1999 gmc sonoma 4.3L 6 Cyl. My daily driver @ 282,181 miles. It gets the job done. Lubricate the door hinge, it takes less than 30 seconds and makes a huge difference!

    97 sonoma dd, just rebuilt the 4l60e, runs perfect now. The old tapered roller bearings make the steering a Lil sloppy like an old car but they're also easy to change yourself.

    The vehicle doesn't know it's old!
    I have a 2001 Saturn LW300 I bought new.
    It currently has 335,000 miles on the original engine and transmission and starts stops runs and drives perfectly.
    The only thing that doesn't work on it is the cassette player.
    In June we went on a 2000 Mi round trip from Wisconsin to Texas to pick up our new German Shepherd puppy.
    Never failed to start or leave anybody stranded and problems have been few and far between and mostly minor.
    I have three other vehicles including a 2024 but I'm not afraid to drive to Saturn anytime or for any distance.
    With proper maintenance and the owner willing to pay for repairs vehicles can last almost indefinitely and safely be driven every day.
