Getting sick of spending $300+/month on gas, so I went and picked up a 99 S-10 today. 2wd, 2.2L, 5 speed manual. I'm keeping the silverado, so it has a little twin buddy now

I got a great deal on it I couldn't pass up. I drove it around for about 2 hours last night and the fuel gauge barely moved (no, it wasn't on full

). That would have been 1/4 tank in my other trucks

It's somewhat of a base model. Manual windows/door locks, am/fm cassette

It does have A/C

But it does have the painted bumpers and the cool rims, so it wasn't a total base model.

Nice ride. Been looking for one of those myself. Only a 4x4 version.

67ChevyRedneck · 05-22-2008, 03:16 PM

Thanks

I REALLY like it. I looked on/off for about 3 months for one when I found this one. Jena even likes it

The 4x4's are not easy to come by!

I went for max fuel mileage on this one.

My dad has a white '00 S-10 stepside 2.2L 5 speed and he's getting low/mid 20's average and high 20's interstate.

Nice addition. Looks sharp.

Thanks

These pics are a little better. I really like driving the little booger. A manual makes a boring engine much more enjoyable

No, I didn't do the boo boo on the bumper, came with the truck

Otherwise it's almost completely ding free. That's Jena's fuel sipper next to mine. It's a 98 Corolla.

Nice gasmizer you picked up! We're in the market for something as well, when are the gas prices going to stop climbing???

You, me and most everybody else is looking for a higher mileage little truck these days. I imagine they are bringing a pretty penny too!
