My new Daily Driver
Hey guys/gals, After long comptemplation and the sale of my daily driver 72' K-10, I decided I needed a new vehicle to drive. Keeping within the Chevrolet famliy was important to me and I really liked the Colorado after I drove it. Never owned a "Smaller" truck but thought this truck is really neat and will fit all my needs.

Sweet truck, I like the bright yellow, I also like the coppery orange color they have. I think it's called sunburst orange metallic.... so just how long will it be before it has a V-8 in it?

Welcome to the toyota family.... the Cobolt and Colorado are based on Toyotas, even look at the key, take it to an Ace Hardware and compare it to a TR47 Toyota key... it should last you 200+K miles tho...

Toyota family???
Whatever dude. It came out of a GM plant and wears a Chevy bowtie. Better yet none of my $ went to Japan as it would have if I had purchased an import...which I certainly would not have done.

Very nice looking truck. What all comes in the z71 package. The steprails make it look nice too. Plus its easier for the kids and wife to climb in and out of.
