monday, my mom, dad and I went out shoping for me a new vehicle. went to look at new 05 tacomas at the dealership but they were idiots and would barely even talk to us. so we left there and went and looked at the used lots in town. wasnt sure exactly what i wanted, but needed decent fuel economy to drive to college with next year, low miles, and wanted something i could trailer my jeep around with. i was looking for mainly a tacoma, but came across a 2000 extended cab s-10 with the ZR2 offroad package that was a one owner with 49k miles that looked and ran new inside and out for a decent price. i ended up buying it about 5 hours after i first saw it and so far i love it. its got the 4.3 vortec and an auto thats pretty peppy, i dont think it will have any problems pulling my jeep on a trailer. my uncle has a 98 thats almost identical other than color and he gets 20-22 highway mpg on his. i think its a pretty good middle ground for what i needed in a part time tow rig for the jeep, decent milage to go to school, and a nice truck that will be reliable. its pewter (kind of a silverish grey) with dark charcole/black fenderflares and bumpers and it didnt have the zr2 sticker but i made the dealer order some for me in the deal. the real point of all this is now the jeep isnt my daily driver any more, which means i can chop the top and cage it and do more stupid stuff in it that i wanted to but couldnt before. im just kinda rambling here but i love my new truck and cant wait to jump into the next build phase of the jeep.
