that works.... idk, i would think the monte gets the best milage right now as it sits you'd just have to hope its a downhill trip both ways, lol.

 

lol well it is getting infinate mpg so yeah that works.....nowthe down hill part might be the challenge...i should just get a huge electromagnet and shove it in thereand just turn in on as cars pass

 

LOL. Nice idea. Too bad plastic and aluminum are not magnetic. Now Space's personality is another story. lmao.

 

Afternoon all.
LadyT's kinda decided her '99 Z71 sportside has too many miles, and is thinking about a new winter "beater". We looked at and drove an '06 GP GXP Wednesday, but it was in rough shape. Wheels were junk, as was the paint (black). Drove nice, and had all the toys, but for top $$$, no thanks.

I found this GP GXP last night, 59K miles, but looked spotless (it was, and still is raining), for $13,800. All the toys, 5.3 V8, HUD, etc, etc, etc.

What ya'll think? Is this a good winter beater? Or should we keep the truck?

 

 

-OR- you could just ask truckers if they mind you chaining the monte to the back of their trailers it could be like anti- social hichhikeing

rockin wayne, how manymiles are on the truck, what year is it, whats it got engine wise? and is it a 4wd?
to tell the truth, i like the truck better, my dads friend has a 91 shortbed 2wd, its the same red as my monte and is fairly optioned down, 6cyl, auto, rubber floormat, manuel windows & locks.... he put a billit grille in it, 17 inch boyd's for wheels, and just keeps it clean.... almost 230,000 on it now, runs super, & he gets compliments on it daily

 

justgot done pulling a 4 page order FU**.....THAT sucked...some one just bshed up olmost everything on a 09 prius... doors bumbers trunk hood and all the parts that co enside with those

 

If you don't have use for the truck then go with gp. I need a tow vehicle so the winter beater for me has to be a truck or suv.

 

Hi `Wayne, I like the truck : ), but it all comes down to what Lady T would like : )...People say they don't miss their trucks until they are gone or they sell them...Then they need one....
Hav'in a truck is a great way to have your friends call you 4 help them move something 4-Sure....Good Luck in whatever U decide...
I know with your knowledge that you will really check it out b-4 U buy...Good Luck in finding the right one...
