OK, here's the deal. My dad has a 97 Silverado that he's been trying to get rid of for almost 2 months, and we haven't had one call on it. I love that truck, it's a black standard cab sport side (short bed and step side), with brand new bedliner (him and I put it in 2 days before we put it up for sale), new diamond plate bedrails (all around, including behind the cab and the tailgate), chrome handles (doors and tailgate), new carpet, new black Euros tails, Flowmaster exhaust, newer transmission (~20K miles), and an after market CD player. About the only thing the truck needs visually, IMO, is a set of clear headlights/turnsignals, and some rims. Then add a cold air intake and hypertech to it, and it'd be set. Now, ever since I was a kid, I've wanted a truck, and since I live out in a rural area on a beat up dirt road, a truck would be recommended. So, I was thinking about selling my Camaro and getting his truck. My Camaro just hit 100K, his truck has like 140K on it. I love my Camaro and don't want to get rid of it, but I feel the suspension's getting beat to death on my road, it doesn't stay clean (used to wash it every weekend, but with school I don't have as much time, and it ends up dirty as hell with-in 3 days, so I don't see the point anymore), but I also like the style of the truck, and it's got decent power (5.3L Vortech engine, IIRC). Plus, we have our 97 Z-28 convertible that we are supposed to be building up as a weekend warrior, and a 86 Z-28 that's going to be our dedicated track car, so I won't be too far from speed. What do you guys think I should do? I don't want to get rid of the Camaro, but I feel it may sell better than the truck, possibly for more, and I hate not being able to take care of it as often as it should be. Hell, I'm just over 10K since my last oil change (Y-pipe was in the way of the drain bolt, and haven't messed with it since). Trucks are generally built more rugged and take a bit more abuse, which is why I think one's suited for my way of living ATM. What do you guys think I should do. I haven't even talked to my parents about this, I just got bored in class and started thinking about it. But, I think they may agree with me. Only problem I see is that the truck doesn't get too great of gas mileage, but I'm hoping that's due to the fact it's never been seafoamed or anything, air cleaner's probably real dirty, and hopefully a tune and CAI will bump it up a few more MPG. If I could pull 22ish highway, then I should be fine.
Sorry, for the long *** post, but I'm seriously debating this and was wondering what you guys think. I love the car, but don't love watching it get beat to death :(.
